DiSalvatore recalled

The Wild recalled forward Jon DiSalvatore today from Houston.

December 21, 2009 at 7:21PM

Addendum to the previous post: the Wild just announced it has recalled right wing Jon DiSalvatore from Houston. He was a free-agent signing last summer; at age 28, he's played just five NHL games, with St. Louis in 2005-06. He's the Aeros' third-leading scorer with 19 points (eight goals, 11 assists) and is one of only two players to skate in all 32 of their games. He'll probably have a very short stay; Russo says he was called up because the team didn't know early this morning how many of the sick guys might be able to play tonight.
