The Nashville Predators will try to end their three-game road slide in a matchup against the Minnesota Wild.

The Wild remain without star Kirill Kaprizov (lower-body injury). He has not skated since his injury, per head coach John Hynes. It’s unknown if Kaprizov will travel when the Wild hit the road later this week.

Following Tuesday morning’s skate, Hynes provided a little bit more on Kaprizov, the challenges Nashville presents, the issues in the loss to Ottawa on Sunday, and more.
