Wild's Graeme Clarke: Dealing with injury

Clarke is expected to miss about a month with a lower-body injury, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports Saturday.

Clarke sustained his injury while blocking a shot during Minnesota's preseason game against the Stars on Sept. 29, and he'll begin the year on season-opening injured reserve. Once he's healthy, the 23-year-old will likely split time between the NHL and AHL clubs, which limits his fantasy value.
