Wild Recall Katchouk from Iowa

Minnesota pulls the trigger on Boris Katchouk, yanking the gritty winger from AHL Iowa just as the Olympic break winds down. The 27-year-old journeyman, who bounced from Tampa to the Wild in December, brings 179 games of NHL experience and a physical edge that's been missing in the minors. Bill Guerin knows depth matters when the stars return, and Katchouk gets his shot to prove he's more than a call-up placeholder before the real games resume.
