  "account": "The Minnesota Wild are currently 5-2-1 heading into their home game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The team's latest victory came over Central division rival, the Blues, though Kirill Kaprizov was injured during that game. The Wild are currently without several key players, including captain Jared Spurgeon, who has been dealing with an upper-body injury since October 12th and was placed on injured reserve on Sunday. In his absence, the Wild have recalled forward Hunter Haight and defenseman Carson Lambos from the Iowa Wild to provide additional insurance for tonight's game. Spurgeon's injury status is still unknown, but he may be able to return to the team as early as Tuesday in his hometown of Edmonton.",
  "summary": "The Minnesota Wild made a pair of moves before puck drop against Columbus, and one of them involves the team captain.",
