Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:11:24 GMT

Kirill Kaprizov, who left Saturday’s game in Winnipeg after taking a couple of cross checks to the kidneys from Jets defenseman Brenden Dillon, was scratched from Sunday’s rematch at Xcel Energy Center.So was goaltender Filip Gustavsson, who was injured in the second period and replaced by Marc-Andre Fleury in the third period of a 4-2 loss at Canada Life Centre.After Sunday’s 3-2 loss to Winnipeg, John Hynes said he had no updates on either player, both of whom were still being evaluated. Asked before the game if he was concerned the injuries might be long-term, the Wild coach said, “It’s obviously always a concern, with both guys, because they’re not in condition to play today.”“But,” he added, “I don’t really want to speculate on it because I think it’s important that they get evaluated properly.
