The Minnesota Wild are close to having their entire roster available for the first time this season as D Alex Goligoski is back at practice. Goligoski's return means the Wild are finally at full strength. Vinni Lettieri has been placed on waivers by the Wild, indicating that Alex Goligoski will be activated before Friday night’s game against Colorado. In a similar move, Matt Tomkins has been placed on waivers by the Tampa Bay Lightning, signaling the imminent activation of goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy from long-term injured reserve ahead of their game in Carolina tomorrow night.
#mnwild have place Vinni Lettieri on waivers with the purposes of reassigning him to Iowa. Indicates Alex Goligoski will be activated before Friday night’s game against Colorado at the X.
Matt Tomkins has been placed on waivers by #GoBolts, which is the last procedural step left before activating goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy from long-term injured reserve to the active roster in advance of tomorrow’s road game in Carolina.
#mnwild’s Vinni Lettieri placed on waivers. As I wrote today, with Alex Goligoski coming off LTIR, Lettieri and Mermis would likely be reassigned so Minnesota can start accruing cap space. Mermis cleared waivers last weekend. https://t.co/jcL0nB0wae
Matt Tomkins placed on waivers today, so there’s the final sign that Andrei Vasilevskiy is set to be activated from LTI ahead of #GoBolts game at Carolina tomorrow night
