The Minnesota Wild are placed second in the Western Conference Central Division with 86 points. They are in the race to win the division title if they keep up their current pace.
However, they need to be wary of injuries. The Wild have six players injured, including Kirill Kaprizov, who is likely to remain sidelined for two to three weeks. Even though the Wild have played well in the last few games, they will need their injured players to make a speedy recovery to keep up the momentum.
Kirill Kaprizov likely to stay out till mid-April
Kirill Kaprizov is suffering from a back problem and has been out of action since March 9. With the playoffs around the corner, the Minnesota Wild will hope for Kaprizov to recover quickly and get enough time on the ice to become fully match.
Trending
Kaprizov has been a top contributor to the team, with 39 goals and 35 assists to his name.
Jake Middleton and Marcus Foligno out for two days
Jake Middleton is on the day-to-day review list due to illness and may miss the Bruins game. In 66 games, he has 13 goal contributions to his name.
With him on the ice, the Wild have conceded only a goal per game on average.
Marcus Foligno, meanwhile, is suffering from a lower-body problem and will be assessed in a couple of days. He has 19 goal contributions to his name.
Jonas Brodin and Brandon Duhaime are long-term absentees
Jonas Brodin is out indefinitely due to a lower-body issue. Brodin hasn't contributed enough on offense but has played a crucial role in the team's defense, posting three wins on the trot before the injury.
Brandon Duhaime, meanwhile, is out indefinitely due to a head injury. He has played less than 40 games this season, averaging 10 minutes on the ice. He has scored seven goals and has one assist to his name.
