TEMPE, Ariz. — The Wild on Thursday recalled forward Adam Beckman from their AHL team in Iowa and placed Marcus Johansson on injured reserve with a lower body injury.
It seems unlikely Minnesota would recall Beckman if he wasn’t expected to play in an 8 p.m. puck drop against the Coyotes at Mullett Arena. A 6-foot-2, 190 pound 2019 third-rounder, Beckman, 22, has 10 points in his past 10 games in Des Moines (7-3–10).
If Beckman plays against Arizona, it would likely be because of an injury. Marcus Foligno (lower body) hasn’t played since Feb. 9 but is with the team here after going through a full practice on Wednesday in St. Paul. Beckman has played in 12 NHL games (0-0–0) but none this season, despite a short call-up.
Johansson has nine goals and 27 points in 61 games for Minnesota this season.
