Wild Face Blue Jackets Amidst Injury Woes
19 Oct
Summary
- Jared Spurgeon placed on injured reserve, retroactive designation.
- Hunter Haight and Carson Lambos recalled from Iowa Wild.
- Kaprizov's injury status uncertain before Columbus game.
The Minnesota Wild are preparing to face the Columbus Blue Jackets with a current record of 5-2-1. The team is contending with multiple key player absences.
Captain Jared Spurgeon was placed on injured reserve on Sunday, approximately four hours before the puck drop against Columbus. This move is retroactive, potentially enabling his return to play as early as Tuesday in Edmonton. He had accumulated one goal and four assists in six games before his injury.
Adding to the team's depth challenges, forward Hunter Haight and defenseman Carson Lambos have been recalled from the Iowa Wild. Haight leads Iowa with three goals this season, while Lambos has contributed a goal and an assist in six games. The status of Russian superstar Kirill Kaprizov for tonight's game remains uncertain following an illegal hit on Thursday.
