BREAKING: Bad News for Wild Kirill Kaprizov
The worst possible news was confirmed just now in Minnesota as franchise player Kirill Kaprizov will be out long-term with injury.
Kaprizov Out Long Term
After being quite literally crushed by 6'7" giant Logan Stanley in Winnipeg, Kaprizov had trouble finding his balance and getting off the ice.
Unfortunately, this lower-body injury will keep him out of the lineup for at least three weeks.
This is a tough blow for a Wild team just on the fringe of the playoffs.
Injury Update: Kirill Kaprizov is expected to miss three to four weeks with a lower-body injury.
