Elevated from minors Tufte was promoted from AHL Texas on Wednesday. Impact Tufte's promotion could be an indication that Joe Pavelski (undisclosed) won't be ready to face Minnesota in Wednesday's Game 2 matchup. For his part, the 25-year-old Tufte has played in just three NHL contests this season, nothing one shot, six hits and a minus-1 rating while averaging 7:57 of ice time. Even with his call-up, Tufte may not crack the lineup versus the Wild, with Joel Kiviranta or Fredrik Olofsson more likely to slot into the lineup.
