6:03 p.m: The Wild officially announced<\/a> Bogosian\u2019s activation in advance of their game tonight against the Montreal Canadiens.<\/p>\n

In a corresponding move, they reassigned defenseman Matt Kiersted to the AHL. Kiersted, 27, began his most recent recall on Jan. 27, and ended up serving as a healthy scratch for the club\u2019s game\u2019s on Jan. 29 and Jan. 31. The 27-year-old undrafted blueliner has gotten into four NHL games for the Wild this season, and has four points in 28 AHL games. He\u2019s under contract through next season at a league-minimum NHL cap hit, with a $450K AHL salary.<\/p>\n

12:13 p.m.:\u00a0The Wild have now activated Bogosian from injured reserve, per the NHL\u2019s media site. Since teams can exceed the roster limit to have a third goalie under emergency conditions twice during the season, they won\u2019t need to make a move to reinstate him. He\u2019s been out for 13 games with an undisclosed injury sustained on Jan. 3 against the Kings. In 23 appearances this season, the veteran righty has four points with a +8 rating while averaging 14:52 of ice time per game.<\/p>\n

11:30 a.m.: According to regional reporter Jessi Pierce<\/a>, the Minnesota Wild have recalled netminder Cal Petersen<\/a> from the AHL\u2019s Iowa Wild. Minnesota confirmed<\/a> the news, sharing that it\u2019s under emergency conditions. The Wild will need to make an additional transaction before tonight to activate defenseman Zach Bogosian<\/a> from the injured reserve.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, there are no injury concerns with Minnesota\u2019s usual goaltending tandem. Several reports from practice indicate that Jesper Wallstedt<\/a> is dealing with the flu, and he won\u2019t be available for tonight\u2019s contest. Filip Gustavsson<\/a> will assume the starting position.<\/p>\n

This morning\u2019s roster move is the first call-up of the year for Petersen. He was waived shortly before the start of the 2025-26 campaign after signing a one-year, $775K contract with the Wild last offseason. He\u2019s spent the entire year with AHL Iowa up to this point.<\/p>\n

Although his win\/loss record isn\u2019t great, it\u2019s not the worst performance Petersen has had throughout his professional career. The 31-year-old veteran has a 4-13-0 record in 17 games with a .897 SV% and 2.82 GAA. Last season, with the AHL\u2019s Lehigh Valley Phantoms, Petersen finished with a 13-15-3 record in 31 games with a .885 SV% and 3.14 GAA.<\/p>\n

His results are more indicative of the team in front of him rather than his individual performance. It\u2019s much of the same for AHL Iowa, a team that has only made the playoffs twice since the 2013-14 season, though no postseason was held in 2020 or 2021. That\u2019s not expected to change this season, as the Wild are in last place in the Central Division with a 12-26-4-1 record in 43 games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"6:03 p.m: The Wild officially announced Bogosian\u2019s activation in advance of their game tonight against the Montreal Canadiens.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":450476,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[49,96528,48,150187,761,82,4584,182563],"class_list":{"0":"post-450475","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-cal-petersen","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-jesper-wallstedt","12":"tag-minnesota-wild","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-transactions","15":"tag-zach-bogosian"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450475","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=450475"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450475\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/450476"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=450475"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=450475"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=450475"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
