The Wild, who have lost six of their last nine games, will be without Kaprizov after he underwent surgery for a lower-body injury. Despite this, the team has managed a 7-5-1 record in games without him this season.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Leafs, led by captain Auston Matthews, will look to capitalize on Minnesota\u2019s weakened lineup. Matthews, currently at 388 career goals, is just one goal shy of tying Darryl Sittler for second-most in franchise history. With 11 goals in 13 career games against the Wild, he has a strong chance of achieving this milestone.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Toronto will also benefit from the return of veteran winger Max Pacioretty, who is expected to rejoin the lineup after missing three games due to an upper-body injury. In goal, Joseph Woll is set to start for the Leafs, while Filip Gustavsson is expected in net for Minnesota.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With Minnesota\u2019s penalty kill ranking among the worst in the league, Toronto has a strong opportunity to secure a victory before heading out on a roa<\/p>\n<p>d trip.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No Mercy: Leafs Look to Exploit Wild\u2019s Major Setback&#8230;full details Maple Leafs Face Wild Without Kaprizov, Look to Continue Strong Form &nbsp; The Toronto Maple Leafs are set to take on the Minnesota Wild at Scotiabank Arena, with the visitors facing a major setback due to the absence of star forward Kirill Kaprizov.
