The Minnesota Wild added some depth with the recall of forward Tyler Pitlick from Iowa ahead of its game against the St. Louis Blues.
ST. PAUL, Minn. - The Minnesota Wild (35-15-10) is back in action tonight against the St. Louis Blues (21-29-9) for the first home game since February 2nd.
After losing forward Joel Eriksson Ek to an injury in the Wild's last game against the Utah Mammoth, the Wild recalled a forward from Iowa.
Eriksson Ek, 29, took a high stick to the face by Utah forward Nick Schmaltz. He left and did not return to the game. He missed the whole third period.
Forward Tyler Pitlick was recalled by the Wild. If Eriksson Ek can't play on Sunday, Ben Jones will likely slot in, being a center. And Pitlick will serve as the 13th forward, a healthy scratch.
