The Minnesota Wild have yet another defenseman unavailable on Thursday night, adding to an ever growing list of injury problems.

Kaprizov has missed the past 10 games with a lower-body injury that has required lots of treatments and pushed-back timetables.

Minnesota held a practice back home in St. Paul on Tuesday. Faber and Kaprizov did not practice with the team but they did skate on their own. Spurgeon and Lauko also skated on their own. Brodin has yet to skate. The Wild host the Edmonton Oilers tomorrow. It doesn't sound like either of the five injured Wild players will play.

While Kaprizov could be back this week, Wild coach John Hynes did not "want to put a timeline" on his potential return, according to Smith, but added the fact Kaprizov is skating every day and continuing to do more and more each day is "a good sign." There are signs Minnesota could be gearing up to have some players return soon.

They will head into the back-to-back games shorthanded. Kirill Kaprizov will not play in either of them. He stayed back home in Minnesota with Jonas Brodin and Brock Faber. Brodin, 31, was injured, along with Faber, in the Wild's game against the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday. Neither of them joined the team out west.
