Wild's Kirill Kaprizov: Suiting up Tuesday
Rotowire
Kaprizov (eye) will draw into Tuesday's exhibition game versus the Jets, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.
Kaprizov was dealing with an eye infection that kept him out of practice over the weekend. The star winger will now turn his attention to getting ready for the 2025-26 campaign after landing an eight-year, $136 million contract extension with the Wild on Tuesday. Kaprizov has a lot to live up to after securing the league's biggest contract, but he should provide elite fantasy value on Minnesota's top line and No. 1 power-play unit in 2025-26.
Kaprizov (eye) agreed to terms on an eight-year, $136 million contract extension with Minnesota on Tuesday.
Kaprizov's new deal works out to a $17 million AAV, which comes in well above the league's current highest earner, Leon Draisaitl ($14 million). The 28-year-old Kaprizov is coming off a disappointing 2024-25 regular season in which he was limited to just 41 games due to injury. Despite the missed time, Kaprizov still managed to rack up 25 goals and 31 assists, including 14 power-play points, and should be capable of challenging for the 100-point mark this year.
