Kirill Kaprizov Set To Return Saturday
2 years agoMinnesota Wild left wing Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) will return to the lineup Saturday against St. Louis. The 25-year-old star, who has registered 39 goals and 74 points in 65 outings, returned to practice at the start of the week and will be back from a 13-game absence. Kaprizov's return is great news for a team that has just lost another top-six forward Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) to injury. Kaprizov should team up with Ryan Hartman and Mats Zuccarello on the top line, with Sam Steel moving down and possibly taking over Eriksson Ek's spot as the second-line center.
