Wiesblatt was reassigned to AHL Milwaukee on Friday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
Wiesblatt earned his first career helper in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Kraken. The 22-year-old may just be getting involved in a paper move for AHL playoff eligibility. He should see some time with the Predators over the remainder of the campaign before challenging for a full-time role in the fall.

Rotowire
Wiesblatt notched an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Kraken.
Wiesblatt earned his first career point with a helper on a Michael McCarron tally late in the second period, which stood as the game-winner. This is Wiesblatt's third stint on the NHL roster, and with the Predators entering sell mode, he may stick around this time. He's added three shots on net, eight hits and a plus-2 rating over four NHL appearances, though he'll likely be limited to a bottom-six role for now.

Predators' Ozzy Wiesblatt: Rejoins big club
Rotowire
Wiesblatt was called up from AHL Milwaukee on Wednesday, Emma Lingan of The Hockey News reports.
Wiesblatt made three NHL appearances earlier in the season, posting five hits, one shot on goal and a plus-1 rating. The 22-year-old winger will join the big club and could stick around a while -- the Predators dealt away Thomas Novak on Wednesday following Saturday's Gustav Nyquist trade, so the team's forward depth has taken a hit. Wiesblatt is a candidate for middle-six minutes as he looks for his first NHL point.

Wiesblatt was recalled by the Predators on Thursday, John Glennon of NHL.com reports.

Over 27 appearances with AHL Milwaukee this year, Wiesblatt has logged seven goals, seven assists and 45 PIM.

Sharks' Ozzy Wiesblatt: Playing Monday
Rotowire
Wiesblatt (upper body) will be in the lineup for the Shark's rookie tournament matchup Monday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
Wiesblatt finished his 2021-22 junior campaign on the sidelines due to his upper-body issue but appears to be ready to go for the upcoming season. Despite being selected in the first round of the 2020 NHL Draft, the 20-year-old winger is likely a long shot to make the Opening Night roster.
