The Wild has the day off from practice, but that doesn’t mean the Minnesota to Houston shuttle has stopped running. Minnesota has reassigned forward Jeff Taffe to the Houston Aeros of the American Hockey League (AHL).
Taffe heads back to the minors. The veteran has two assists in five games.
#mnwild has reassigned forwards Jed Ortmeyer and Jeff Taffe back to @Houston_Aeros
Taffe played well when given a chance to play on a scoring line but was relegated to a third line role. He has no fantasy hockey value while in the minors.
Peters, Taffe, DiSalvatore, Ortmeyer, Penner and Endras require waivers to get down there. They're on 48-hour waivers and can be claimed or cleared by 11 a.m. Tuesday.
