It's Kirill Kaprizov's birthday and he will get nothing if he wants to.
The Minnesota Wild forward turned 25 on Tuesday and his teammates were asked what Kaprizov needs or wants for his birthday in a hilarious Twitter video. Most of his teammates had one of two answers. Alex Goligoski and Jared Spurgeon both answered a "haircut." "Maybe a good comb. He's got long hair," Marc-Andre Fleury said.
Marcus Foligno and Nick Bjugstad said "English dictionary" and Jon Merrill answered "English lessons." When it came time for Kaprizov to answer he said "Nothing," then asked Mats Zuccarello what he thought. "Don't worry about his birthday, we are giving him the world. Worry about mine," Zuccarello joked. Later, Kaprizov admitted that he won't be celebrating with birthday cake after the game against the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday.
Kirill is not letting anything get in the way of his playoff physique. Not even a little birthday cake celly 🤣 🎂 #mnwildpic.twitter.com/BrZbEFF4RW
