Veilleux called up from Iowa, Zucker sent back

The Wild swapped forwards after Zucker struggled in Tuesday's loss at Nashville.

The Wild is bringing Stephane Veilleux up from Iowa today, and sending Jason Zucker back to its American Hockey League team. A third forward, Carson McMillan, was also reassigned to Iowa.

McMillan and Zucker were called up for last night's game. Zucker struggled a bit in a 3-2 loss at Nashville, and McMillan didn't play.

Veilleux is a 31-year-old feisty veteran who could give the winless team some spark in Thursday's game against Winnipeg.
