Wild's Tyler Pitlick: Sent to minors

Pitlick was assigned to AHL Iowa on Saturday.

Due to the return of Mats Zuccarello from a lower-body injury, Pitlick was a healthy scratch in Friday's 5-2 win over the Islanders. The 34-year-old Pitlick hasn't earned a point in nine NHL appearances this season while contributing six shots on goal, six blocked shots and 24 hits.
