Kirill Kaprizov keeps racking up the points in Wild's 3-1 win at Carolina

RALIEGH, N.C. — The highest scoring season by a Wild player is now officially in progress, and there's still 15 games to go.

Kirill Kaprizov broke Marian Gaborik's nearly 14-year record on Saturday, picking up a goal and assist to reach a franchise-high 85 points in a 3-1 victory against the Hurricanes in front of 16,375 at PNC Arena that kicked off a lengthy road trip with the Wild's eighth win during a nine-game point streak.

Kaprizov's record-breaking point was an assist, a pass he fittingly sent to linemate Mats Zuccarello to open the scoring on the power play 10 minutes, 20 seconds into the first period.
