Off, injuries are starting to pile up for star players across the league. Among them are Minnesota Wild forward Kirill Kaprizov and Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen, who are expected to miss several weeks.

The Wild have six games left before the two week break. Kaprizov is set to have surgery later this week then will be out a minimum of four weeks. The Wild's next game is the 22nd of February which is 25 days away.

Rest during the holiday break wasn’t enough for Wild superstar Kirill Kaprizov to return from a lower-body injury. Missing 12 games over five weeks didn’t sufficiently enable the injury to heal after a three-game return.
