The Minnesota Wild are experimenting with new line combinations after a slow offensive start. Head coach John Hynes moved Kirill Kaprizov to play alongside Matt Boldy and Joel Eriksson Ek during practice following their recent loss to Tampa Bay. Kaprizov has three goals in the season, but the team's top forwards are still looking to generate more scoring. The new line combination will debut in an upcoming game against Florida. There are additional changes, with other players like Danila Yurov and Maxim Shabanov reassigned to different lines.
