Expand Confirmed in his Athletic post this AM. Quote As long as everything goes well in Wednesday’s morning skate, both players are expected to play, multiple NHL sources tell The Athletic. If Kaprizov is to be activated off long-term injured reserve Wednesday, the Wild will have to make a couple of roster moves. That would likely be reassigning Devin Shore and Brendan Gaunce to Iowa. Both forwards recently cleared waivers as the Wild prepared for this eventuality. If Kaprizov and Eriksson Ek return, the Wild’s lone missing player will be defenseman Jake Middleton, who is day-to-day with an upper-body injury.

MNCountryLife Verified Member Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 On NHL.com they have them listed as being in with the projected lineup being: Marcus Foligno -- Joel Eriksson Ek -- Matt Boldy Kirill Kaprizov -- Marco Rossi -- Mats Zuccarello Marcus Johansson -- Frederick Gaudreau -- Gustav Nyquist Yakov Trenin -- Ryan Hartman -- Justin Brazeau The lineup sure looks better with those 2 guys in. Our top 2 lines start to look like legitimate top 2 lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Kinda surprised they didn't keep Rossi with Boldy & Moose after the chemistry they've built but Hynes is fluid so he may switch mid-game. Kinda miffed about Braz in for Hinny too but it may be a reward for how he played against Dallas and they're trying to see if he can sustain it for the playoff chase.

I have looked at these projected lines before and they are not always right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
