Wild's Samuel Walker: Summoned by Minnesota

Walker was called up by Minnesota on Thursday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Walker has a goal in six games with Minnesota this season. At the AHL level, he's contributed 24 goals and 44 points in 50 contests with Iowa in 2022-23. Kirill Kaprizov sustained a lower-body injury during Wednesday's contest versus Winnipeg, so Walker might draw into the lineup Saturday against San Jose.
