After first win without Kirill Kaprizov, Wild take aim at Canadiens

Hindustan Times  

The Minnesota Wild passed their first test without star winger Kirill Kaprizov. "More often than not, we play a really strong team game," Minnesota coach John Hynes said. Montreal lost 4-1 to the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday, marking the team's longest losing streak since dropping six straight games from Oct. 29 to Nov. 9. "I don't want to say we've gotten away from a simple game, but I think we have maybe a little bit," defenseman Kaiden Guhle said ahead of the game against Winnipeg. "When you lose a player like that, you don't replace him with one player," Canadiens coach Martin St. Louis said.
