Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) was placed on the Long-Term Injury Reserve (LTIR), Marcus Johansson (concussion) was placed on the Injured Reserve, Ben Jones was sent to Iowa, Jakub Lauko (lower body) was activated off LTIR and Brendan Gaunce, Liam Ohgren, and Devin Shore were recalled.
Some positive news, Brock Faber, Jared Spurgeon, Lauko, and Kaprizov all practiced on Friday. Lauko seems to be ready to play on Saturday against the Predators.
Kaprizov's injury is from Dec 23. He is eligible to be taken off LTIR on Saturday. It doesn't sound like he will play on Saturday, especially with all the call-ups.
The Wild's superstar forward has missed the last ten games. He has 23 goals, 27 assists, and 50 points in 34 games this year.
