Kaprizov (lower body) will miss the next 3-4 weeks, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic.

Kaprizov was injured Wednesday when he did the splits and had Winnipeg's Logan Stanley fall on him awkwardly. The talented winger has 39 goals and 35 assists in 65 games this season. He could return as early as the end of March, but it is possible that he'll miss the remainder of the regular season if there are any setbacks.

Kaprizov scored a natural hat trick in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
With the Wild down 2-0 heading into the third period, Kaprizov got to work. His first goal came on a point shot that pinballed off Jackets defenseman Andrew Peeke and then Kaprizov's shoulder before trickling over the goal line, but his second and third tallies were pure skill. The 25-year-old superstar has 10 goals and 12 points through 12 games in February, and he's three snipes short of his second straight 40-goal campaign.
