"Minnesota Wild" forward Kirill Kaprizov said last season's failure to make the playoffs motivates him to win more.
The Russian missed the playoffs last season for the first time in his NHL career.
"It's frustrating when you play every year in the playoffs and then bam, nothing happens at the end of the regular season. You have a lot of months of no hockey ahead of you, and it's not a lot of fun. You see other teams make the playoffs and you're already sitting on your couch watching TV. It's not fun. You want to make the playoffs and try to win the Stanley Cup."
"Minnesota" has 10 wins in 15 games this season and sits in second place in the NHL Western Conference table.
