Forward Jakub Lauko returns to the lineup tonight for the Minnesota Wild (18-5-4) after missing the last six games with a lower-body injury.
Lauko, 24, practiced with the Wild on Monday and has been cleared to play on Tuesday against the Utah Hockey Club (12-11-4).
The Wild went 5-1-0 in his absence and will happily welcome him back to the lineup and top penalty kill.
The 6-foot-1 forward has two goals and four points in 21 games this year and is set to play on the Wild's third line tonight with Yakov Trenin and Freddy Gaudreau.
