Wild's Dupuis out 4-6 weeks

Quote:

The atmosphere around the Xcel Energy Center is certainly upbeat considering the Wild is undefeated through four games, the best start in club history. The team and specifically left wing Pascal Dupuis did receive some bad news on Friday however. Dupuis left the Wild's 3-2 shootout victory over Washington on Thursday after suffering a knee injury at the end of the first period.

After being re-evaluated on Friday, it was determined that Dupuis suffered a second degree sprain in his left knee. The injury will force him out of the lineup for four to six weeks.

The Wild is not expected to call anyone up from the Houston Aeros at this point. The absence of Dupuis will allow Mattias Weinhandl another opportunity to play after he sat out the last three games as a healthy scratch.

Sucks for Dupuis but great for Weinhandl! For as many injuries as there were during the pre-season I'm surprised that this is the first major injury during the regular season.

I guess we'll find out tomorrow night when they play the Blue Jackets at home.

Yeah, should be an interesting test for The Wild.
