Koivu out, Bouchard likely out for tomorrow's game for Islanders; Coyle leaving Boston University
Posted by: Michael Russo under Wild news, Wild pregame skate Updated: December 16, 2011 - 11:03 AM
Also, I have confirmed blog reports out of Boston that Charlie Coyle is leaving Boston University and will play for Saint John of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. The Wild would have been willing to sign him and place him in Houston, but Coyle's made the decision to play junior. The Wild still owns his rights for two more years and will likely sign him before next season.
Lines in practice
Clutterbuck-Cullen-Heatley
Powe-Brodziak-Johnson
Wellman-Almond-Staubitz/Gillies
Peters-Gillies/Staubitz
By these lines, my guess is they call up a guy like Jed Ortmeyer, but we'll see.
