Wild's David Jiricek: Expected to be called up

Jiricek is slated to be recalled from AHL Iowa on Friday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

The Wild are apparently dealing with an injury on the blue line, hence the recall of Jiricek. He has yet to pick up a point in 12 NHL games this season with the Wild. Jiricek has one goal and a pair of assists in 10 AHL games this season.
