MOSCOW, Jan 7 Minnesota Wild coach Dean Evason said, that forward Kirill Kaprizov was injured after an unnecessary forceful reception. In the second period of the meeting of the regular season of the National Hockey League (NHL) with the Boston Bruins (3: 2), forward Trent Frederick pushed Kaprizov on board. The Russian could not continue the match and went into the locker room. He will miss the match against the Washington Capitals on January 8. “Again, we really didn't like this power move. It was a completely unnecessary power move on a player who was not ready for it. Hopefully this episode will be reviewed again. We do not believe that it was a pure hockey trick. Frederick had already taken the puck, but decided to finish off a player who was in an unstable position with his back to him. And as a result, we lost an excellent player, the whole league lost, «the Russian-language version of the website quoted Evason as saying. NHL In the current NHL regular season, Caprice took part in 32 matches, in which he scored 40 (14 goals + 26 assists) points.
