DeMelo (wrist) is finally healthy after missing 22 games but could be a healthy scratch Sunday, Curtis Pashelka of Mercury News reports.
This year has been anything but normal for DeMelo, who has moved to and from the minors multiple times, and then suffered a broken wrist. Head coach Peter DeBoer said DeMelo is "ready to play" in Minnesota on Sunday, but if teammate David Schlemko (lower body) is able to play, DeMelo will likely sit out. The 23-year-old blueliner has played 14 games with the big club this year, scoring a goal and notching three assists. He hasn't quite been making himself valuable in other ways either -- he only has 18 hits and 14 blocked shots. Before the injury, though, DeMelo clocked time on the power play, which shows potential for future fantasy production.
