Just chatted with Eric Staal, who's en route to Iowa from his home in Minny. Plan is for him to sign an AHL PTO and play with the Iowa Wild this weekend and next week before hopefully joining the Canadian Olympic team. Nothing is set yet, but that appears to be the plan.
— Ken Campbell (@Ken_Campbell27) January 12, 2022- A bunch of the Minnesota Wild were out with injuries or COVID-related absences, but now some are making their way back! Kirill Kaprizov, Brandon Duhaime, Jordan Greenway, Joel Eriksson Ek, and maybe Alex Goligolski, can make their return to the ice on Friday against the Anaheim Ducks at home.
