St. Paul, MN (SportsNetwork.com) – Minnesota Wild center Mikael Granlund will miss at least the team’s next three games due to a head injury he sustained in Tuesday’s 3-1 loss against Phoenix.<\/p>\n
The Wild placed Granlund, who has served as the club’s second-line center for most of this season, on injured reserve Thursday. The 2010 first-round pick had previously sat out a pair of games last week after taking a hard shot in an Nov. 20 contest at Ottawa, then returned to action on Tuesday but was injured again on his initial shift.<\/p>\n
Granlund has recorded two goals, 10 assists and a plus-four rating through 24 games this season.<\/p>\n
Forward Jason Zucker was recalled from Iowa of the AHL Thursday to fill the roster spot.<\/p>\n
Zucker had four goals and an assist over 20 contests with the Wild last season, but has spent the majority of the 2013-14 campaign in the minors. The 21-year-old has posted six goals and four assists in 13 games with Iowa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
