In typical Kaprizov fashion, he downplayed the goal itself.
"It just kinda happened" Kaprizov said through a translator. "I don't think I did anything special, I think I just kind of went around the defenseman and made a good play. I don't know where to rank it [on my list of pretty goals]."
It's a list that's getting longer by the day, and this one ranked right up there with some of the best.
Hartman had the primary assist on Kaprizov's gorgeous first-period tally and on Dmitry Kulikov's rebound salvo in the second period, arguably the two most defining goals of the game. To cap off his night, Hartman finished off the scoring with his 13th goal late in the third period, ending any hopes of late-game heroics.
The goal was Hartman's 10th shot on goal of the game, as he became just the fifth player in team history to reach double digit shots on goal in a game (Gaborik, Parise, Rolston and Zucker are the others).
