Wild's Jake Middleton: Late scratch

Middleton is not suiting up for Sunday's home matchup versus Calgary due to an illness.

Middleton will miss his first game of the season Sunday. David Jiricek, who was a healthy scratch for the team's last two games, will take Middleton's place in the lineup against the Flames. The 29-year-old Middleton's next chance to play will be Tuesday against San Jose.
