I'm hearing Chad Rau, Jed Ortmeyer and Matt Kassian, who were part of the Wild's two-game winning streak over Dallas and Colorado before the break, will all return.
Look for Rau to come back up to the big club. The undrafted rookie has a goal in two games.
With the All-Star break upon the Minnesota Wild, the team trimmed its roster by three, sending Matt Kassian, Jed Ortemeyer and Chad Rau to Houston of the AHL.
Rau heads back to the minors to get more seasoning. He has a goal in his two career NHL games.
On Sunday, the Wild recalled forwards Jed Ortmeyer and Chad Rau.
Like Palmer, it would be the first NHL game for the 24-year-old who has posted five goals and nine assists through 29 games with the Aeros this season. -View from the Lighthouse
So, sent packing today for Houston were: Kris Foucault, David McIntyre, Carson McMillan, Warren Peters, Chad Rau, Jeff Taffe, Jon DiSalvatore, Jed Ortmeyer, Jarod Palmer, Tyler Cuma, Chay Genoway, Jeff Penner, Dennis Endras, Matt Hackett and Darcy Kuemper.
