Marcus Johansson Added To Injured Reserve
14 seconds agoMinnesota Wild left wing Marcus Johansson (upper body) was placed on Injured Reserve Thursday. He took an elbow to the face from Edmonton forward Connor McDavid in Wednesday's 5-3 loss, with Wild head coach John Hynes saying after the game that Johansson would likely be out for a while. It is suspected that the Swedish forward is dealing with a concussion. Johansson has picked up 16 points (five goals, 11 assists) in 44 games this season. His injury means the Wild are now without two of their top left-wingers and three of their top-four defensemen. Marcus Foligno will likely move into the top six on Saturday against Nashville if Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) is not ready to return.
