The Western Conference playoff race might get kicked up a notch.
Minnesota Wild head coach John Hynes said he is “hopeful” that injured star Kirill Kaprizov and forward Joel Eriksson Ek can return on Wednesday against the San Jose Sharks.
Both players will go through one more skate and check in with trainers before they are fully cleared to hit the ice.
Minnesota holds the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference with 91 points in 78 games and holds a four-point lead over the Calgary Flames.
“We got seven days, we got four games, we got 12 periods. It’s time to make sure that everything is about winning,” Hynes said.
