(Washington, D.C.) — Wild general manager Bill Guerin announced that captain Jared Spurgeon will be listed week to week with a lower body injury. Spurgeon was injured on Tuesday night when he was knocked off his feet with a slew foot from Predators forward Zach L’Heureux. L’Heureux was assed a five minute major for the infraction and on Thursday the N-H-L Department of Player Safety hit him with a three game suspension. While Spurgeon is out, Guerin said the injury “isn’t as bad as we originally thought” and expects him to play again this season. The Wild are also without Kirill Kaprizov, Jake Middleton and Jakub Lauko.
