Wild sideline Kaprizov for at least a month, with surgery needed on lingering lower-body injury
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota Wild star Kirill Kaprizov needs surgery on the lingering lower-body injury he recently returned from and will be sidelined for at least a month.
General manager Bill Guerin said Tuesday that Kaprizov is expected to be back with the team later this season.
The impact of his absence will be stemmed a bit by the two-week break on the NHL schedule next month for the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament.
After missing 12 games, Kaprizov rejoined the Wild last week.
