Wild attempt to keep trending upward, take on CoyotesThe Minnesota Wild appear to have turned the corner.Whether Minnesota has done it in time to be a playoff team remains to be seen, but it is...
Jiri Patera - Dropped to minorsPatera was assigned to AHL Henderson on Tuesday.
ImpactPatera suited up as Adin Hill's backup in Monday's 5-3 loss to Minnesota because Logan Thompson (illness) was unavailable. Thompson has plenty of time to recover ahead of Saturday's home matchup versus Carolina.

Sheldon Rempal - Sent back to minorsRempal was reassigned to AHL Henderson on Tuesday.
ImpactRempal has looked pretty good in limited NHL action this season, registering two goals and eight shots in five outings while averaging 9:42 of ice time. The decision to send Rempal back to the minors could be an indication that Paul Cotter (illness) will be available against Carolina on Saturday, though there is plenty of time for the Knights to bring Rempal back up if needed.

Wild take win streak into matchup with the Coyotes
The Minnesota Wild aim to keep their three-game win streak going when they visit the Arizona CoyotesFEBRUARY 13ā¢ASSOCIATED PRESS
Zach Whitecloud - Grabs helper in returnWhitecloud notched an assist and blocked two shots in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Wild.
ImpactWhitecloud was back in the lineup after being scratched Thursday versus the Coyotes and overcoming an illness over the weekend. With Kaedan Korczak back at AHL Henderson, there's room for both Whitecloud and Daniil Miromanov in the Golden Knights' lineup. Whitecloud's assist Monday snapped a 21-game point drought, giving him six points, 71 hits, 60 blocked shots, 32 shots on net and 22 PIM through 37 outings this season. Ben Hutton (upper body) was activated prior to Monday's game, but he'll likely be the seventh defenseman going forward.

Brendan Brisson - Lends power-play helper in lossBrisson notched a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Wild.
ImpactBrisson has a helper in each of the last two games. He helped out on a Michael Amadio tally in the first period Monday. Brisson is up to three points, 11 shots on net and a minus-3 rating through his first seven NHL contests. He may head back to AHL Henderson once the Golden Knights get healthier at forward, but it doesn't seem like the 22-year-old is that far away from being a middle-six fixture at the NHL level.

Nicolas Roy - Point streak at seven gamesRoy notched an assist and blocked two shots in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Wild.
ImpactRoy has three goals and eight assists during his seven-game point streak. His latest helper came on a Jonathan Marchessault tally in the opening minute. Roy is up to 29 points, 72 shots on net, 27 hits, 23 PIM and a plus-12 rating through 44 appearances. He's on pace for a career year, and his next point will get him to 30 for the third season in a row.
