The Minnesota Wild picked up a 4-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday. They will next face the Toronto Maple Leafs tomorrow night. This morning at practice for the Minnesota Wild they were without forward Kirill Kaprizov. Minnesota General Manager reported a short while ago that Kaprizov will be out four weeks as he is undergoing surgery on a lower-body injury which is not season-ending. Losing Kaprizov for four weeks is a big blow to this Wild team. They are one point behind Dallas in the Central Division and two points ahead of fourth-place Colorado. Kaprizov is 23rd in the league in points, 13th in goals, and 37th in assists at this point of the season.
