Kirill Kaprizov Could Return On Saturday
2 years agoMinnesota Wild left wing Kirill Kaprizov (lower-body) practiced with the team on Wednesday for the first time since he sustained an injury on March 8, and the star forward could return to the lineup for Saturday's game against the Blues. Kaprizov wore a non-contact jersey during the practice and will not play in Thursday's contest against the Penguins. The Wild could also have forward Gustav Nyquist (shoulder) return to the ice and make his team debut in Saturday's game, as he has not played since late January after suffering a shoulder injury as a member of the Blue Jackets. Kaprizov has totaled a team-high 39 goals, 35 assists and 74 points through 65 games, and his return comes at a perfect time for the Wild as they battle for the top spot in the Central Division heading into the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
