Wild scoring leader Kirill Kaprizov will be out week-to-week with surgery planned for a lower-body injury. The team’s scoring leader has played the past three games at less full strength after sitting out 12 games before coming back last Thursday against Utah.

It is not a season-ending injury, but it will put him on the shelf for the next little while,” Minnesota general manager Bill Guerin said, meeting with reporters at TRIA Rink

If Kaprizov has surgery this week for a lower-body injury that has been ailing him since December, he would miss six weeks, per sources.
