ST. PAUL - The Wild announced today that forward Mason Shaw was signed to a one-year, two-way deal in the NHL which burned his one-year AHL deal. Shaw will join the Wild tomorrow and will practice with the club.
In a corresponding move, the Wild sent forward Adam Beckman down to Iowa for the second time in the last week. Earlier today the Iowa Wild recalled Louis Boudon from the Iowa Heartlanders of the ECHL and yesterday they signed forward Gavin Hain to another professional tryout.
Iowa also mutually agreed to a release of forward Mike O'Leary from their AHL team. This led to the Hain PTO. Hain has played in 21 games with the Iowa Wild this season and has two goals and three points.
Beckman, 22, was called up by the Wild from the AHL on Sunday but did not play in any of the Wild's two games this week. He was recalled a week ago as well and sat as a healthy scratch in Chicago and was sent down before the Pittsburgh Penguins game.
He was recalled for the road trip but did not play. The Wild have returned home and host the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday.
