Wild's Marat Khusnutdinov: Gets first NHL goal
Rotowire
Khusnutdinov scored a power-play goal in Friday's 7-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
The goal was Khusnutdinov's first NHL tally and just his third point in 13 contests since he signed his entry-level deal. The 21-year-old has added six shots on net, 16 hits, six PIM and a minus-5 rating while seeing bottom-six minutes. Khusnutdinov still has enough skill to make an impact down the road, but he won't be an attractive fantasy option in the final week of this season.
