Wild Yank Pitlick Up After Eriksson Ek Injury
The Minnesota Wild recall veteran forward Tyler Pitlick from AHL Iowa as Joel Eriksson Ek nurses a facial injury from last night's scrap in Utah. Pitlick, who's ping-ponged between Minnesota and the minors all season with three prior call-ups and waiver clearances, brings his fourth-line grit and 76 hits already logged up top. GM Bill Guerin slots him in seamlessly with an open roster spot, but all eyes stay on Eriksson Ek's status ahead of tomorrow's clash with the Blues.
