We were just feeling confident about this Minnesota Wild team fighting for the top spot of the Central division and then disaster struck.
The team announced on Thursday afternoon that Kirill Kaprizov will miss three to four weeks with a lower-body injury.

This isn’t some mystery diagnosis or injury picked up in practice, we know exactly how it happened because we have video footage of something happening to Kaprizov’s legs when the giant doofus defenseman Logan Stanley fell on top of the star player during Wednesday’s game against the Winnipeg Jets.
