On Friday, Danila Yurov scored twice as the Minnesota Wild beat the Anaheim Ducks 5-2 in Anaheim, building a three-goal lead after his strikes.
Early in camp, using Vladimir Tarasenko as an interpreter gave way to centering the top line with Kirill Kaprizov and Mats Zuccarello, while Danila Yurov credits gym work and locker-room talk for his progress.
Both goals came from Yurov going to the net, with the first deflecting off a Yakov Trenin tip and Yurov's skate; coach John Hynes credited Yurov's positioning and Hughes' setups.
