The Minnesota Wild have recalled defenseman David Spacek from their AHL affiliate, the Iowa Wild, amid an injury to veteran Zach Bogosian. This marks Spacek’s third recall this season, having previously been a healthy scratch in multiple games without making his NHL debut. With Daemon Hunt averaging only 12:25 ice time on the third pairing, Spacek may finally get a chance to play. Regardless, Spacek benefits financially from his NHL time, earning a $775K salary compared to his $80K AHL pay.
