According to Michael Russo of The Athletic, while this doesn&rsquo;t guarantee their immediate return, it&rsquo;s a positive sign as the team pushes for a playoff spot. Both players had just resumed skating three days ago, so their involvement in a full practice is a significant step forward.<\/p><p>Kaprizov has been recovering from what is believed to be groin surgery, while Eriksson Ek has been sidelined since late February with a lower-body injury. Despite their absences, the Wild have managed to stay competitive, currently holding the first wild-card spot in the Western Conference. However, their offense has struggled throughout the season, making their potential return all the more crucial. Minnesota remains the only team in a playoff position with a negative goal differential, having scored 202 goals while conceding 211. They also rank eighth lowest in total goals scored across the league.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"und\" dir=\"ltr\">Wild's Kirill Kaprizov, Joel Eriksson Ek Full Participants At Practice<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BicsG58YC3\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>https:\/\/t.co\/BicsG58YC3<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Pro Hockey Rumors (@prohockeyrumors) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/prohockeyrumors\/status\/1906442967822602582?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>March 30, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>During Kaprizov and Eriksson Ek&rsquo;s time away, players like Matt Boldy, Fr&eacute;d&eacute;rick Gaudreau, Marco Rossi, and Mats Zuccarello have stepped up offensively. However, consistency has been an issue. Interestingly, Zuccarello left practice early today, and Kaprizov filled his spot on the top line. No official reason was provided for Zuccarello&rsquo;s early exit, adding another layer of uncertainty to Minnesota&rsquo;s lineup.<\/p><p>Before his injury, Kaprizov was battling through lingering health issues but still made a huge impact. In just 37 games, he tallied 23 goals and 52 points, proving his ability to carry the offense. If he can regain his form in time for the playoffs, he could be the spark the Wild need for a deep postseason run. The 27-year-old has already showcased his playoff prowess, scoring 10 goals in 17 career playoff games.<\/p><p>Eriksson Ek&rsquo;s return would also be a major boost, particularly on the defensive side. A top defensive forward, he has finished in the top 10 of Selke Trophy voting for four straight seasons. While his offensive numbers this season&mdash;24 points in 42 games&mdash;are modest, he&rsquo;s coming off a career-best campaign with 30 goals and 64 points. His two-way play would bring much-needed balance to the lineup.<\/p><p>Both players are expected to travel with the team for their upcoming three-game road trip but are unlikely to play this week. Kaprizov is scheduled to meet with his surgeon, and medical clearance could be the final step before he&rsquo;s ready to return. However, Minnesota will need to clear about $550K in cap space to activate him from LTIR if he&rsquo;s ready before the regular season ends.<\/p><p>Image Credit: Terrence Lee-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minnesota Wild get a boost as Kaprizov and Eriksson Ek return to full practice ahead of crucial matchups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":34996,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[2131,52],"class_list":["post-34948","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nhl","tag-minnesota-wild","tag-nhl"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
