Terrible News in Minnesota: Kirill Kaprizov Goes Down

Minnesota Wild forward Kirill Kaprizov was injured and left tonight's game against the Winnipeg Jets.

See the footage here:


This is the worst possible news for the Wild, as Hart Trophy candidate Kaprizov was essentially the only thing keeping them in a playoff spot.


With Logan Stanley being a very big player at 6'7» this injury could be serious.

With the Wild having not been aggressive sellers at the deadline due to remaining playoff hopes, this could be a serious issue.

Bill Guerin will have to hope that Kaprizov makes a swift recovery, or the Wild will be having a difficult conversation about their future in the off-season.

Let's hope there's some good news coming soon.
