Wild Expected To Assign Filip Gustavsson On Conditioning Loan
After weeks without a healthy roster, the Minnesota Wild are close to the roster they intended to start the season with. According to The Athletic’s Michael Russo, the Wild are expected to assign netminder Filip Gustavsson to the Iowa Wild in the AHL on a conditioning stint.
Gustavsson, 28, has been recovering from offseason hip surgery. At the time of his surgery, his recovery timeline was unknown. In mid-October, three weeks into the regular season, it was reported that Gustavsson would miss another month, if not more, of the season. If he returns the week of November 23rd (two Mondays from now), Gustavsson would be in line with his projected recovery.
