Zuccarello Out, Kaprizov Seeks New Partner | Los Angeles Kings News

The Minnesota Wild are reshuffling their lines as star Kirill Kaprizov seeks a new skating partner after his prolific run with Mats Zuccarello. Zuccarello, a seven-year Wild veteran who delivered a point-per-game playoff run and 15 goals in 59 games last season, is headed to the LA Kings on a one-year, $1M deal — a move that surprised even him, as he’d called Minnesota home. The Kings, fresh off Anze Kopitar’s retirement and with new coach Peter Laviolette, are bolstering their roster with Zuccarello, Corey Perry, and Erik Haula, signaling a bold push for contention. The Wild’s move may be about forcing Kaprizov into new chemistry — and the NHL is watching closely.
