Kaprizov scored a power-play goal on eight shots, added four PIM and doled out three hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Kaprizov was responsible for the Wild's only two penalties in the game, and the Blackhawks were able to cash in on a first-period power play. Kaprizov made up for it with his own man-advantage marker in the third to tie the game at 2-2. The Russian winger has points in his last eight contests, racking up seven goals and eight assists in that span. He's at 47 points (nine on the power play), 132 shots on net, a plus-19 rating and 37 hits through 36 appearances overall.

Kaprizov scored two goals in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
He added five shots and a plus-2 rating to his ledger, and both goals came in the third period as Kaprizov nearly single-handedly earned a point for the Wild. Unfortunately for Minnesota, he came up empty on his shootout attempt. The 24-year-old extended his point streak to six games with the performance, a stretch during which he's racked up a remarkable six goals and 12 points.

Kaprizov (upper body) posted two assists, seven shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in 17:00 of ice time in Friday's 7-3 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Kaprizov picked up right where he left off after a one-game absence, though his goal streak ended at four games Friday. The Russian winger helped out on first-period tallies by Ryan Hartman and Mats Zuccarello, and he didn't have to play much with the Wild in control of the contest. Kaprizov is up to 14 tallies, 28 helpers, 117 shots on net, a plus-15 rating and 34 hits through 33 appearances. As one of the league's most productive forwards, he can be easily activated in virtually all fantasy formats.

Kaprizov (upper body) will miss Saturday's game against the Capitals and possibly longer, Jessi Pierce of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Wild aren't sure when Kaprizov, who suffered the upper-body injury Thursday in Boston, will return to the lineup. Minnesota has an extended break after Saturday's game and won't play again until next Friday, so Kaprizov should be considered day-to-day leading up to that matchup with Anaheim.

Kaprizov suffered an upper-body injury and won't return to Thursday's game versus the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Kaprizov was hurt late in the second period after a hit. The 24-year-old scored a power-play goal in the contest prior to his exit -- he leads the Wild with 40 points in 32 appearances, so any absence would be massive. More on his status should be known prior to Saturday's game versus the Capitals.

Kaprizov scored a goal and added two assists in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blues in the Winter Classic.
EDGE Analysis
He continues to tear up the ice with his scoring exploits. Kaprizov is on a three-game, seven-point scoring streak that includes a goal in each of the three games. And his 39 points put him in a tie with Steven Stamkos for fifth in NHL scoring, behind only Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, Alex Ovechkin and Jonathan Huberdeau.
