Tottenham 3-0 Elfsborg: ‘Play the kids’ message as Mikey Moore record goal caps Europa League win

Claressa Shields chooses to fight in hometown of Flint, turning down New York, Las Vegas and Detroit
January 31, 2025
In the last couple of weeks before the 4 Nations Face-Off, injuries are starting to pile up for star players across the league. Among them are Minnesota Wild forward Kirill Kaprizov and Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen, who are expected to miss several weeks.
Just three games after returning from an earlier injury, Kaprizov will miss at least four weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a lower-body injury he suffered against the Chicago Blackhawks on Jan. 26. The Wild will now be without their leading scorer for another month, but the 4 Nations Face-Off will provide some time for Kaprizov to heal.
When he has been on the ice, Kaprizov has been incredibly effective with 23 goals and 29 assists in 37 games.
Heiskanen suffered a knee injury when Vegas Golden Knights captain Mark Stone dove into his legs while going after a puck. Now the Stars have listed Heiskanen, one of the best two-way defensemen in the game, as week-to-week. Heiskanen was supposed to represent Finland in the 4 Nations Face-Off, but he will now have to sit out the international tournament.
Here is a list of many of the marquee players that are currently sidelined due to injury.
