Well, this might suck.
During the Minnesota Wild’s first preseason game, against the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday afternoon, Kirill Kaprizov cut his game short after potentially suffering an ankle injury.
The game was not being broadcasted, so we don’t have any video of the event, but according to the media personnel that were in attendance at the Xcel Energy Center for the exhibition matinee, Kaprizov was struck with a shot off the stick of Frederick Gaudreau, and struggled to get off the ice.
Kaprizov hobbles to the bench.
