Wild call up Vinni Lettieri, send Sammy Walker to AHL IowaThe Wild exchanged one former Gophers forward for another.
Vinni Lettieri - Up with big clubLettieri was recalled from AHL Iowa on Sunday.
ImpactMinnesota also returned Samuel Walker to the AHL on Sunday, so Lettieri will probably be in the lineup Tuesday against Edmonton. The 28-year-old Lettieri has one goal and two assists through four minor-league contests this season. He has picked up seven goals and 18 points in 83 career NHL appearances.

Jack Roslovic - First goal is OT winnerRoslovic scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's 5-4 overtime victory over the Wild.
ImpactHe also added eight shots, a hit and a blocked shot to his ledger. The 26-year-old was nearly the goat on the night, committing a terrible turnover in the neutral zone that led to a Minnesota scoring chance less than a minute earlier, but after Columbus survived that flurry, Roslovic took the puck the other way, split the defense and beat Filip Gustavsson under his blocker arm. Roslovic moved up into the top six Saturday and even saw a bit of second-unit power-play time with Patrik Laine (upper body) unavailable, but he's tough to rely on as a fantasy asset given his erratic play and inconsistent role.

Sammy Walker - Sent back to AHLWalker was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Sunday.
ImpactWalker got into two games with Minnesota, averaging 10:05 TOI while logging two hits and a shot on goal. The 24-year-old winger will likely fill a depth role with the Wild throughout the campaign. Walker tallied 27 goals and 48 points in 56 AHL contests last season.

Kent Johnson - First snipe of campaignJohnson scored his first goal of the season in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Wild.
ImpactOn a faceoff in the Minnesota end early in the second period, Cole Sillinger won the draw and got the puck back to Johnson, who immediately ripped it top shelf over Filip Gustavsson. It's Johnson's second point in four games, and after recording 16 goals and 40 points in 79 games as a rookie last season, the fifth overall pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft could take a step forward in his sophomore campaign as part of Columbus' young core.
