Kirill Kaprizov's injury status remains a major topic of discussion, as GM Bill Guerin believes he will return before the season ends, despite ongoing uncertainty about his recovery timeline.

Gustav Nyquist has been acquired by the Minnesota Wild, providing them with a well-rounded forward capable of playing in the top six and contributing to their penalty kill. His debut performance was solid, indicating a smooth transition into the team.

Ryan Hartman has completed his suspension and is set to return, which is critical for the Wild's lineup consistency.

Liam Ohgren has been sent down to the AHL to make room for Nyquist, indicating a focus on immediate playoff readiness.

Kirill Kaprizov is also expected back before playoffs, a return that could greatly benefit the Wild's offense.
