Kris Fredheim, Chay Genoway, Nate Prosser and Marco Scandella were reassigned to Houston and join the Aeros, as the club pushes for the Calder Cup Playoffs.
Scandella scored three goals and 12 points in 63 games with the Wild.
The Wild hasn't called anybody up for Kampfer, so that must mean Marco Scandella is on the trip and good to go after not playing last night with an upper body injury.
Scandella is expected to draw back in tonight. He has three goals and 10 points in 59 games.
In nine games with the Houston Aeros of the AHL, Scandella scored two goals and five points. Expect him to get a look in all situations with the big club.

In nine games with the Houston Aeros of the AHL, Scandella scored two goals and five points. Expect him to get a look in all situations with the big club.

Marco Scandella in #mnwild morning skate. Not that he would, but I don't think he'd be eligible to come off IR until tomorrow
Scandella stepping back onto the ice is a positive sign for his recovery. While he likely doesn't draw back in for a few games, the Montreal native could make a speedy recovery from a concussion.
Scandella was placed on IR retroactively so don't be too disappointed with this paper move. The Montreal native had scored two goals in 16 games this season. He remains sidelined indefinitely with a concussion.
The worse news is Marco Scandella appears to have suffered another head injury. Mike Yeo said he didn’t know for certain, but Scandella was hit hard (shoulder to chin) by Ethan Moreau on his fourth shift and never returned. He looked out of it after the game, was definitely glum and didn’t want to talk. Remember, Scandella missed 14 games last season with a concussion.
Rough break for Scandella, who battled the same injury last season and was just establishing himself as a regular. The Montreal native had scored two goals in 16 games this season. Look for Clayton Stoner to replace him in the lineup.
Mike Yeo said he believes Marco Scandella will be a top defenseman in the NHL for a long time. The Wild coach said since the start of training camp that Scandella is good enough to be a top-four defenseman.
Scandella gets his first legitimate shot at a top-6 assignment due to Lundin's injury. Last season he produced two assists in his first NHL campaign. Look for Scandella to improve those point totals in his first full season.
