Kaprizov has missed 28 games and Eriksson Ek 21. ... The Wild reassigned forwards Brendan Gaunce and Devin Shore to Iowa of the American Hockey League on Wednesday. ... Middleton skated, but the defenseman will miss his second straight game. ... Fleury will start for the first time since March 25, when he allowed four goals on 37 shots in a 5-1 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights.
