Status report
Kaprizov and Eriksson Ek each will be back in the lineup; Kaprizov missed two games and Eriksson Ek missed three. … Marcus Foligno is doubtful, but the forward, who will miss his 12th straight game, is likely to return during the Wild’s three-game road trip, which continues at the Florida Panthers on Thursday. … Hedman is likely to return after missing a 4-3 overtime loss at the Calgary Flames on Sunday because of an illness.
