With the Wild's season on the brink and facing a potential must-win tonight at Colorado, the Wild is expected to recall former University of Denver star Jason Zucker and energy bug Stephane Veilleux for tonight's game.
It sounds like Jake Dowell and Carson McMillan will be returned to Houston.
Zucker, 21, has scored four goals and one assist in 19 games for the Wild this year. If Veilleux plays, and at this point, why not, it would be his season debut, 461st NHL game and 383rd for the Wild.
Jason Pominville, I don't believe, traveled to Denver.
I thought Veilleux had been up the whole time.
A little late to panic now don't you think?
At this point I'm pretty sure we're just chucking forwards at the wall and seeing what sticks.

Hmm, nice decision I'd say.
Interesting way to say it given our forwards spend 90% of their time in the offensive zone along the wall.
Veilleux could teach a few of our forwards a thing or two about hustle and not giving up. He may not be very skilled, but at least Veilleux is out there giving it his all night in and night out.
