Kirill Kaprizov Out with Injury vs. Flames

Minnesota Wild star Kirill Kaprizov will miss Saturday's game against the Calgary Flames due to a lower-body injury sustained during a knee-on-knee collision with Edmonton Oilers' Drake Caggiula. Although Kaprizov briefly left Thursday's game, he returned to finish with an assist, and he currently leads the NHL with 34 points (13 goals, 21 assists) in 19 games. Forward Marat Khusnutdinov will also be out due to a lower-body injury, further depleting the Wild's roster. Kaprizov is set to be evaluated in Minnesota on Sunday to assess the extent of his injury. The Wild, who are currently second in the Central Division, will have to adapt without their leading scorer as they face the Flames. Following this game, they will return home to play against the Winnipeg Jets on Monday.
