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

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.
Do you think Kaprizov will be a Hart trophy finalist?
