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

Minnesota Wild forward Kirill Kaprizov, who scored a team-high 23 goals through 37 games this season, will undergo surgery on a lower-body injury and miss at least a month, general manager Bill Guerin announced Tuesday.

What they're saying: Kaprizov will be out at least four weeks, GM Bill Guerin told reporters — and it could be closer to six, per The Athletic. The silver lining is that Kaprizov can recover during the Wild's two-week break mid-February during the NHL's in-season international tournament.
