As the Wild's beat writer Michael Russo (Star Tribune) reports, the 22-year-old forward had already felt some discomfort in his lower body before the game, but decided to participated in the warm-up.
However, he and the team decided not to take any risks and thus he sat the game against the Capitals out. He is listed as day-to-day. (mso)
