The Minnesota Wild are facing the Montreal Canadiens at home on Monday, and along with the visiting team is a familiar face.
Montreal claimed now-former Wild forward Rem Pitlick off of waivers earlier this month, and it didn’t take long for him to face his old club. In his return, he was able to reflect on his experience of going through that waiver process.
“I’m not going to lie, it was hard,” Pitlick said of being placed on waivers by the Wild. “I loved so many different things about Minnesota. And to everyone that was involved in getting me there, I’m beyond grateful, it was an amazing time.
