A day after the Minnesota Wild submitted their official opening night roster to the NHL, they made a little tweak. The changes allow for yet another young prospect to make the roster as the youth movement continues for the Wild. Hunter Haight was recalled from Iowa as Mats Zuccarello and Nico Sturm officially went on injured reserve. The team also announced that Cameron Butler, Michael Milne, and Stevie Leskovar would start the season as injured, non-roster players.
