Set to play Tuesday Spurgeon (lower body) will be activated from injured reserve and is slated to play in Tuesday's road clash against the Canadiens, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.

Impact Spurgeon has missed each of Minnesota's last five games and nine of the last 13 contests due to two separate injuries. He's expected to be activated after waivers clear Tuesday, and will rejoin one of the team's top two defensive pairings for Tuesday's road game. When healthy, the 36-year-old blueliner has been a solid all-around fantasy option with a goal, five points, a plus-6 rating, 13 shots on net, eight hits and 19 blocked shots over 10 appearances.

Will join road trip Spurgeon (lower body) is expected to travel with the team for its upcoming three-game road trip starting Tuesday against Montreal, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

Impact Spurgeon has missed seven of the Wild's last 11 games due to injury, and will likely be out of action for at least two more due to his lower-body problem. During those four appearances, the veteran blueliner failed to register a point while producing six shots, five blocks and three hits.

Heads to IR Spurgeon (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Spurgeon's move to IR cleared the roster spot for the Wild to acquire Cameron Crotty off waivers from the Senators. The Wild have dealt with a number of injured on the blue line this season. Spurgeon is considered week-to-week and won't be eligible to return until Tuesday's game versus the Flyers at the earliest, though it sounds like his absence will stretch beyond that.

Considered week-to-week The Wild announced Thursday that Spurgeon (undisclosed) is considered week-to-week, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Spurgeon exited Tuesday's game against the Mammoth due to an undisclosed injury, and he's facing a multi-game absence. It's not yet clear when the 36-year-old will be able to return to action, but David Spacek and Carson Lambos are candidates to see additional playing time in the near future, while it's possible that Spurgeon will land on injured reserve at some point.

Impact Spurgeon was injured in the second period. The 36-year-old recently returned from an upper-body injury that cost him four contests. If Spurgeon misses additional time beyond Tuesday, David Spacek will likely get to play in a bottom-four role while Jonas Brodin and Zach Bogosian would get extra ice time.

Buries goal in win Spurgeon scored a goal, blocked two shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Bruins.

Impact Spurgeon has gotten a chance at a larger role than initially expected due to the indefinite absence of Brock Faber (skull fracture). Spurgeon is currently on the top pairing at even strength and is also involved on the second power-play unit. The 36-year-old has held up his end of the bargain with two points, two shots on net, five blocks, four PIM and a plus-3 rating over two contests so far. Spurgeon has a fairly lengthy injury history as well, but he's in a position to be productive as long as he stays healthy.
