The Minnesota Wild's Kirill Kaprizov has become a concern due to a sudden health issue, causing him to miss practice and potentially impacting the team's upcoming trip to Sweden. The team has refrained from calling up a forward for the trip. Additionally, the Wild's penalty kill has been underperforming, as analyzed by RussoHockey. In a related development, the Toronto Maple Leafs' John Klingberg is unlikely to be available for the first game in Sweden due to an injury.
#Leafs planned to use the gap between games to have more aggressive treatment for John Klingberg's injury. But chances are "low" he will be available for first game in Sweden on Friday. ⤵️ https://t.co/NtyUFXDHqM https://t.co/NtyUFXDHqM

There has been an unsavory topic brewing in the background in Minnesota — how normal Kirill Kaprizov and Matt Boldy have been. And the Wild's penalty kill has been poor to boot. @RussoHockey analyzes the issues in Minnesota ⤵️ https://t.co/lXZ4Vc4Px0
