Wild “cautiously optimistic” for Kaprizov, Spurgeon return this week
Minnesota Wild head coach John Hynes wouldn’t make a full proclamation at Wednesday morning’s practice, but says he’s “cautiously optimistic” Kirill Kaprizov and Jared Spurgeon will return this week – possible as soon as Thursday’s home game against Utah.
Kaprizov’s been out since Christmas, Spurgeon since New Year’s Eve, both with lower-body injuries.
Hynes also discussed the momentum his team might carry from Monday’s win at Colorado – one of their best wins this season.
