Kirill Kaprizov Avoids Suspension, Earns Fine

November 9, 2022 at 12:05 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 8 Comments

The Department of Player Safety is busy today. While they hold a hearing with Juraj Slafkovsky for his hit on Matt Luff, the league has also handed out a $5,000 fine to Kirill Kaprizov for his incident last night.

Kaprizov was ejected from a game against the Los Angeles Kings after he swung his stick down and hit Drew Doughty in the face and neck area. The league has called it “roughing” in the announcement of the fine, though last night they gave him a match penalty for intent to injure. That came with a five-minute major, a game misconduct, and an automatic review from the DoPS.

The Wild ended up losing the game 1-0 without their star forward but will have him back in the lineup this evening when they take on the Anaheim Ducks. Kaprizov has eight goals and 13 points through 12 games so far this season while the Wild struggle to stay competitive in the Central Division. The club is now 5-6-1 and has lost two in a row, falling into a tie with the Arizona Coyotes and Nashville Predators for fifth in the division.

    Kings fan that watched the game. This feels right, he was just frustrated and lost his cool with Doughty pushing him around. Don’t think he had “intent to injure”

      You are correct. You don’t think.

      Fan impartial to either team, losing his cool enough to hit him in the face purposely with his stick should be punishable by 1/4 of the year and haftuh sit out the next time he would be in the playoffs. Bet players would miraculously stop doing this bs when losing their cool.

    Stick swinging seems much safer compared to fighting

    This is wild cuz they JUST got done suspending Rasmussen 2 games for a lesser version of this. DOPS making it obvious they look out for the Superstars and are completely incompetent at making players fear commiting dirty acts
