Minnesota Wild Star Kirill Kaprizov To Miss 3-4 Weeks

March 9, 2023 at 4:06 pm CDT | by Ken MacMillan 7 Comments

The Minnesota Wild released a statement to say they will be without their star winger Kirill Kaprizov for 3-4 weeks. Kaprizov suffered a lower-body injury during last night’s game with the Winnipeg Jets. He left midway though the third period, and after setting up the game’s winning goal.

The Russian sniper left after being awkwardly tackled by Jets defenseman Logan Stanley. The 6-foot-7 and 228 pound Jets defender appeared to try to jump on Kaprizov’s back as the Wild winger sheltered the puck along the boards in the Jets zone. Kaprizov crumpled and got up gingerly before heading straight to the Wild bench.

Obviously the Wild are going to miss Kaprizov, who leads the team with 39 goals and 74 points in 65 games. The Wild lean heavily on the top end of their lineup for offense, and will have a difficult time putting pucks in the net without their leading scorer. The Wild have 186 goals this season, which is the least by any team in a playoff position, and is 15 less than the second lowest scoring playoff team in the west.

The Wild do have some breathing room in the standings as they are ten points ahead of the Calgary Flames who are the top team not in a postseason position right now. The good news is, Kaprizov’s timeline allows him to return before the playoffs. The Wild’s final regular season game is not until April 13 against the Nashville Predators which is a full six weeks away.

      Lol!
      Unless every player quits playing our season is far from over.
      It’s now the time for the other players to shine.
      Heck kaprizov only had 1 point in the last 2 maybe 3 games as is anyway and Gus is on a back to back shutout streak.

    Chicken crap play.

    Too bad we have to wait for April 11 to see many Wild players provide Logan Stanley with an opportunity to eat lunch through a straw.

      Alexander Carrier might warn against fighting that giant. Stanley is like a bear who doesn’t know his own strength. :0

      I doubt reaves or any other members of the team care at this point.
      It needs to be done.
