The Minnesota Wild are facing challenges without superstar Kirill Kaprizov in their lineup due to a lower-body injury that required successful surgery. Head coach John Hynes confirmed that Kaprizov’s recovery timeline remains at a minimum of four weeks, putting his potential return date at March 1. Despite this setback, the team is optimistic about getting injured players Jonas Brodin and Marcus Johansson back soon, possibly for their upcoming game against the Boston Bruins. Both players have been skating and could rejoin the lineup in time to finish the current road trip. With Kaprizov expected to return before the end of the season, the Wild will have time to improve their position in the West and prepare for the playoffs. Kaprizov had been a top contender for the NHL MVP (Hart) award before his injury, and his return will bolster the team’s offensive capabilities as they head towards the postseason.
