Then, in the third, Kaprizov would extend the Minnesota lead even further by finishing his 17th goal of the campaign. During this game, the 27-year-old also tallied five total shots on goal. Overall, since November 7, Kaprizov has tallied at least one point in all but one game. During this impressive stretch, he has registered 21 points (in 13 games) with a +11 rating.

Kirill Kaprizov Considered A Game-Time Call For Monday
Minnesota Wild left wing Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) is considered a game-time decision for Monday's matchup against Winnipeg. It looks like Kaprizov may be ready to make a quick return to the lineup after he missed Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to Calgary. Minnesota's star winger skated in his usual spot on the top line Monday morning. Marcus Johansson will land back on the second line if Kaprizov indeed returns, with Marcus Foligno dropping down to the third line. Kaprizov was held pointless by the Jets in this season's first head-to-head meeting, but he's having a great campaign and boasts 13 points (six goals, seven assists) from his last seven appearances.
Kirill Kaprizov Reportedly Not Dealing With Serious Injury
Minnesota Wild left wing Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) has avoided serious injury, per Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman. Kaprizov, who is among the NHL's top scorers with 34 points (13 goals, 21 assists) in 19 games, underwent an MRI after missing Saturday's clash against Calgary, and the results were positive. However, it's looking unlikely that he will return to the lineup on Monday versus Winnipeg. Marcus Johansson stepped into a top-line role with Kaprizov out on Saturday and put in a good performance in a 4-3 shootout loss. He scored the team's first goal, leading all skaters with eight shots. Johansson will continue to have extra fantasy value until Kaprizov returns.
Minnesota Wild left wing Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) will not play on Saturday against Calgary. The Russian superstar sustained a lower-body injury in Thursday's 5-3 victory over Edmonton and will miss his first game of the season. It's been a wonderful campaign so far for Kaprizov, who has racked up 34 points (13 goals, 21 assists) in 19 appearances. Marat Khusnutdinov (lower body) will also sit out Saturday's action. Marcus Johansson takes over first-line duties from Kaprizov on the left wing for the game, with Marcus Foligno also joining the top six. Travis Boyd and Ben Jones will fill the gaps in the lineup.
Minnesota Wild left wing Kirill Kaprizov continued his terrific campaign with an assist in Sunday's 2-1 overtime loss to Chicago. Setting up Matt Boldy late in regulation, he became the third player in franchise history with a nine-game road point streak. One more point would have put Kaprizov next to Wayne Gretzky as the only two players in NHL history to record multiple points in nine consecutive road games. Kaprizov entered Sunday's action off the back of two consecutive three-point outings on away ice. Minnesota now heads home for a pair of games, but Kaprizov likely can't wait for the next road trip. Out of his 28 points this season, 21 have been scored in road games.
Kirill Kaprizov Scores Twice, Tallies Assist On Friday
Minnesota Wild left wing Kirill Kaprizov scored twice and tallied an assist in their victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Friday evening.

Kaprizov has now scored at least three points in each of his past two games Through 14 games this campaign, the winger has tallied an impressive 27 points with nine goals and 18 assists.

Minnesota Wild left wing Kirill Kaprizov (upper body) is a game-time decision for Saturday's meeting with Arizona. He's missed seven straight games but returned to practice on Friday, which is a significant step toward a comeback. Despite being out since Dec. 30, Kaprizov still leads the Wild with 34 points (13 goals, 21 assists) in 34 games. He had points in six consecutive outings before getting sidelined. Kaprizov's return is set to bump Matt Boldy down from the first line. The Wild could also have defenseman Jonas Brodin (upper body) back in action on Saturday.
Minnesota Wild forward Kirill Kaprizov (upper body) took part in Friday's morning skate but is unlikely to return for Friday night's contest against the visiting Philadelphia Flyers. The star winger has missed the last seven games and has not appeared since getting injured in a Dec. 30 contest against the Winnipeg Jets. It's been a down season for Kaprizov, if only by his lofty standards. The 26-year-old still has averaged a point per game with 34 points in as many contests, but he posted 40 goals and 75 points across just 67 games last season, one year after racking up a whopping 108 points in 81 games. Goaltender Filip Gustavsson and defenseman Jonas Brodin also took part in Friday's skate but are also not expected to return in the evening against the Flyers.
Minnesota Wild winger Kirill Kaprizov (upper body) was placed on the IR Wednesday with an upper-body injury. Kaprizov missed the teams' last two games and was expected to miss another week or two with the injury, so this designation isn't a surprise. The timing is ugly for Minnesota and Kirill the thrill, who had just begun to get going with 10 points (five goals, five assists) in the six games before his injury. With Mats Zuccarello also on IR, the Wild are missing a lot of their high-end talent. Ryan Hartman and Marco Rossi have been bumped to the top powerplay unit and hold the most streamer appeal, but even then it is tough to expect much from them given what they are working with.
Minnesota Wild left wing Kirill Kaprizov (upper body) will be out for 1-2 weeks. Minnesota's star winger was injured at the weekend and missed his first game of the season Sunday versus Winnipeg. The Wild brought up Nic Petan from the minors on Sunday to fill Kaprizov's spot in the lineup. The 28-year-old produced a power-play assist in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Jets. Marcus Johansson moved to Kaprisov's position on the top line. The Swedish forward has had a couple of prolific weeks with three goals and five assists in seven games, and he's now well-placed to keep up his form.
Minnesota Wild left wing Kirill Kaprizov missed Sunday's contest against the Jets with an upper-body injury. He suffered the injury in the third period against Winnipeg on Saturday. Before landing on the shelf, Kaprizov had been ever-present for the Wild this season, recording 13 goals and 21 assists in 34 games. He extended his scoring streak to six games on Saturday, so Kaprizov has been hot lately, but it's unclear when he will return to the lineup. Minnesota's next game will come on Tuesday against Calgary. Marcus Johansson replaced Kaprizov on the top line Sunday, with Nic Petan taking the open spot in the lineup.
Minnesota Wild left wing Kirill Kaprizov had saved up his first multi-goal outing of the season for the Boston Bruins, lighting the lamp twice in a 4-3 overtime win on Tuesday. He tied the game at two 13:12 into the third period and took down the Bruins with a strike at the 2:54 mark in overtime. Kaprizov had previously scored just one goal this month. He's been a 40-goal scorer in back-to-back seasons, so Kaprizov's struggles in front of the net have been very surprising. However, with his shooting percentage standing at 10.1, there's hope he can improve his goal-scoring pace, as Kaprizov is a 15.4 percent career shooter. This season, he's also gone from a point-per-game player to a guy who averages 0.90 points a night. Through 30 contests, the Wild star has amassed 27 points.
Minnesota Wild left wing Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) will return to the lineup Saturday against St. Louis. The 25-year-old star, who has registered 39 goals and 74 points in 65 outings, returned to practice at the start of the week and will be back from a 13-game absence. Kaprizov's return is great news for a team that has just lost another top-six forward Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) to injury. Kaprizov should team up with Ryan Hartman and Mats Zuccarello on the top line, with Sam Steel moving down and possibly taking over Eriksson Ek's spot as the second-line center.

Kaprizov wore a non-contact jersey during the practice and will not play in Thursday's contest against the Penguins. The Wild could also have forward Gustav Nyquist (shoulder) return to the ice and make his team debut in Saturday's game, as he has not played since late January after suffering a shoulder injury as a member of the Blue Jackets. Kaprizov has totaled a team-high 39 goals, 35 assists and 74 points through 65 games, and his return comes at a perfect time for the Wild as they battle for the top spot in the Central Division heading into the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Minnesota Wild left wing Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) has been ruled out for three to four weeks. He suffered a lower-body injury against Winnipeg on Wednesday, and it looks like Kaprizov will now sit out a minimum of 10 games. It's an awful blow for the team, as Kaprizov is by far the best scorer on the roster and has been outstanding throughout the campaign with 39 goals and 35 assists in 65 outings.
