On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we get up to speed on injury timetable for Kirill Kaprizov and Filip Gustavsson. With Kaprizov expected to miss 1-2 weeks, his loss will overlap critical games next week against Dallas (home and home) and Arizona. The Wild will need Matt Boldy to step into the drivers seat. We look at how recent production increases from Ryan Hartman, Marcus Foligno and Marcus Johansson can help offset the loss of Kaprizov, but the top line needs to consistently generate until he is back. With Gustavsson we look at the problematic situation of what happens if Fleury sustains some sort of injury. We discuss other options in goal being limited for the Wild, at least until Jesper Wallstedt is healthy. We also discuss tonight's game against the Calgary Flames and the historically invisible play of Jonathan Huberdeau. We also discuss keys to tonight's game, which include:

1. The top line needs to take the lead but at least one other line needs to elevate their scoring to help.
2. Be wary of the Flames when on the Power Play, they have 9 shorthanded goals already this season.
3. Fleury is the guy for again. How about some vintage Flower with Gus out?
