BREAKING: Minnesota Wild Complete Major Move With Kirill Kaprizov
The Minnesota Wild have made a significant move by officially activating top scorer Kirill Kaprizov off injured reserve ahead of tonight's game against the Coyotes, as announced by the team.
This marks Kaprizov's return to the lineup after recovering from an upper-body injury sustained on December 30th due to a cross-check from Jets defenseman Brenden Dillon. The star forward is back on the ice after a seven-game, two-week absence.
In a double boost for the Wild, goaltender Filip Gustavsson has also been activated off injured reserve earlier in the day. Gustavsson is expected to make his first start since December 30, adding depth to the team's lineup.
