Kirill Kaprizov returned for the Minnesota Wild against the Winnipeg Jets at Xcel Energy Center on Monday.
The forward did not play in a 4-3 shootout loss at the Calgary Flames on Saturday because of a lower-body injury.
The 27-year-old had been day to day following a knee-on-knee collision with Drake Caggiula during a 5-3 win at the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday. Kaprizov stayed in the game but did not participate in an optional practice Friday.
Kaprizov is second in the NHL with 34 points (13 goals, 21 assists) in 19 games, one point behind Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon. He is tied for third in the League with a plus-16 rating.
Kaprizov also has a franchise-record 11-game road point streak (eight goals, 16 assists) for the Wild (13-3-4), who are second in the Central Division, four points behind the Winnipeg Jets.
Kaprizov avoided a major injury, according to Hynes.
"Oh, for sure, oh yeah," Hynes said Friday.
Forward Marat Khusnutdinov (lower body) did not play against the Jets. He has two assists in 19 games this season.
