Wild's Kirill Kaprizov to miss 3-4 weeks with lower-body injury

Minnesota Wild star forward Kirill Kaprizov is expected to miss three to four weeks with a lower-body injury, the team announced Thursday.

Kaprizov left Wednesday's game against the Winnipeg Jets midway through the third period after defenseman Logan Stanley fell on top of him, with the forward going down awkwardly. Stanley — all 6-foot-7 and 228 pounds of him — essentially squashed the much smaller Kaprizov, who struggled to get back to his feet and off the ice.
