ST. PAUL – The Minnesota Wild announced a few roster moves on Sunday. They sent down defenseman Daemon Hunt and forwards Liam Ohgren and Mikey Milne to the American Hockey League (AHL).
Hunt, 22, did not play a game during his recall and has been sent down. He was called up with Jonas Brodin hurt. But with Jon Merrill and Declan Chisholm playing well, Hunt did not get in.
Brodin is expected to practice Monday and join the team on their upcoming three-game road trip.
Ohgren, 20, played one game for the Wild during his emergency loan. He wasn’t recalled on normal conditions and only was able to play if Joel Eriksson Ek couldn’t. He had two shots at 12:10 of ice time on Saturday.
Milne, 22, got eight shifts in his NHL debut on Saturday. He had three hits in six minutes and 34 seconds of ice time.
I thought he did good. Im certainly happy for him and his family to obviously get your first NHL game is special,” Wild head coach John Hynes said on Milne. “I thought he did good. Hes a quick player. I thought he made good decisions. He got his feet wet. Its also some games you come into in your first NHL game it might be a different style of game but when youre playing a team like we played tonight, its a hard game and I thought he did well.
The Wild will have to recall a forward for the upcoming road trip because even with Eriksson Ek healthy, they would only have 11 forwards. They also may call up an extra forward.
