Bad news for the Minnesota Wild got worse over the weekend when Bill Guerin announced Kirill Kaprizov would miss more time than initially expected. Kaprizov is still leading the Wild with 52 points and was having a Hart Trophy-level campaign before injuries derailed his season.
SEATTLE — Mats Zuccarello had a goal and an assist, and the Minnesota Wild held on for a 4-3 win against the Seattle Kraken at Climate Pledge Arena on Tuesday. “It was a great 30 minutes and then a bad 30 minutes,” Zuccarello said. “We got the two points. ... First half was ours, second half was theirs, and we still found a way to win.”
Jonathan Drouin and Jack Drury scored 52 seconds apart in a three-goal second period and the Colorado Avalanche beat weary Minnesota 5-2 on Friday night to pull even with the third-place Wild in the Central Division.
