Marcus Foligno has put a target on the back of Zach L'Heureux in the name of retribution for L'Heureux's slew-foot of Jared Spurgeon.

Kaprizov, who's been out since Dec. 23 with a lower-body injury, joined his first full practice since then on Friday as did defensemen Brock Faber (upper body) and Jared Spurgeon (lower body), according to The Athletic's Michael Russo.

Minnesota Wild head coach John Hynes provided injury updates Friday, Brock Faber will travel with the team this weekend, Kirill Kaprizov will not.

The 2024-25 NHL season continues to move along. With the season in full swing, a few teams have been trying to fight off the injury bug. One of those teams is the Minnesota Wild, which has had trouble keeping its blue line healthy.

The Minnesota Wild have had bad luck with injuries recently. Joel Eriksson Ek, Kirill Kaprizov, and Jacob Middleton headline the list of players who have missed time for a team with contending aspirations.

Saturday’s meeting with Nashville will be the Wild’s first time seeing the Predators since New Year’s Eve, when oft-suspended Preds youngster Zach L’Heureux ran Spurgeon from behind into the end boards and injured the Wild captain with what all classified as a dirty and dangerous play.

Spurgeon (lower body) will not be on the Wild's upcoming two-game road trip, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports. Spurgeon has been out of action since Dec. 31, when he was hurt versus Nashville. He will miss Saturday's game in Nashville,
