from Joe Smith and Michael Russo of The Athletic,
Kaprizov’s first return to Winnipeg since being hurt there in March was a rough one. This was where Kaprizov suffered a lower-body injury on March 8 when Logan Stanley toppled over him, forcing the Wild star to miss a month. Kaprizov got hurt again on Saturday, leaving the game in the third period after taking a couple nasty, unpenalized cross checks to the lower back by Dillon, the Jets’ hard-nosed defenseman. It looked to be a retaliation after Kaprizov floored Dillon with a reverse hit. Give Jake Middleton credit for fighting Dillon later in the period, taking on the tough defenseman in defending Kaprizov.

Coach Hynes had no updates on the injuries (goaltender Filip Gustavsson did not come out for the 3rd period)
