Injured against Vegas Sturm (upper body) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game versus the Golden Knights.

Impact Sturm logged just 3:20 of ice time prior to exiting the game. If the 31-year-old is unable to play in the second half of Minnesota's back-to-back Tuesday in Winnipeg, Tyler Pitlick, who was recalled from AHL Iowa on Monday, might draw into the lineup. However, the Wild could also choose to go with a configuration of 11 forwards and seven defensemen, which would result in Matt Kiersted or David Spacek suiting up against the Jets.

Impact Sturm set up a Marcus Foligno goal in the third period. This ended a five-game point drought for Sturm, who has played the last two contests while both of Yakov Trenin (upper body) and Mats Zuccarello (upper body) are out of the lineup.

Finds twine in loss Sturm scored a goal in Thursday's 2-1 loss to Chicago.

Impact Sturm sparked a comeback effort for the Wild with his goal late in the second period, but Minnesota would be shut out the rest of the way. Overall, the 30-year-old forward has five goals, 11 points, 34 shots on net and 49 hits through 45 games this season. While he's only added offensive contributions every so often, he has two goals over his last five games and is shooting 50 percent in that span. While his fantasy value is limited on Minnesota's fourth line, his recent efficiency could lead to more playing time with the team moving forward.
