On injured reserve Kaprizov (lower body) was put on injured reserve Wednesday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Kaprizov hasn't played since Dec. 23, so he's eligible to be activated whenever he's healthy. However, it seems fair to believe the Wild wouldn't have put him on IR unless they expected him to miss at least one more game -- Minnesota's next scheduled tilt is Thursday in Washington. Kaprizov has 23 goals and 50 points in 34 appearances in 2024-25.

Kaprizov is spearheading Minnesota in scoring with 23 goals and 50 points through 34 appearances in 2024-25.

Still day-to-day Kaprizov (lower body) is considered day-to-day and is questionable for Sunday's game against Ottawa, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact While it doesn't appear that Kaprizov's injury will keep him out long-term, his status remains in flux ahead of Sunday's contest after he sat out Friday in a win over Dallas. The Wild will certainly hope to get Kaprizov back sooner rather than later -- the 27-year-old winger has 23 goals, second-most in the league, and 50 points through 34 games.
