Butler (undisclosed) was activated from the non-roster injured list and assigned to AHL Iowa on Thursday.
Butler spent the first few weeks of the regular season on injured reserve, and his assignment to the minors suggests that he's back to full health heading into November. He made 37 regular-season appearances with AHL Cleveland last year, recording two goals, an assist and 74 PIM.

Butler had two goals, one assist and 74 PIM over 37 regular-season outings with AHL Cleveland last year.
