The Minnesota Wild placed their top-scoring contributor on LTIR on Friday in Kirill Kaprizov because of an aggravated lower-body injury. Minnesota has been one of the NHL's biggest surprises in 2024-24, sitting in second place of the Central Division with 58 points.

It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to game action, but he's been trending in the right direction recently. His next chance to suit up will be Saturday in Nashville.
