A day after coach Bruce Boudreau said Darcy Kuemper will likely play this final week of the regular season, Alex Stalock was reassigned to Iowa.

Makes sense.
Devan Dubnyk, whom Boudreau made clear after Sunday's win over Colorado was his "guy," was obviously going to start the home finale Tuesday against the Carolina Hurricanes.
So if Stalock wasn't going to start, the team may as well send him back to Iowa for the time being. Iowa, fighting for its playoff lives, lost two ginormous 4-0 decisions with Stalock pulled off that team. Those losses severely hurt the Baby Wild's chances of making the Calder Cup playoffs.
Whether he's Minnesota's backup in the playoffs could largely depend on how Kuemper plays in his next outing.
I could see Kuemper starting Thursday's game at Colorado or Saturday's game at Arizona (I think the latter, after doing some digging).
If Kuemper doesn't play well, there's little doubt in my mind Stalock is the No. 2 when the playoffs start.
At a minimum, I'd think after the goalie drama the Wild has had in the playoffs in the past (Niklas Backstrom getting hurt during warmups before Game 1 in Chicago in 2013, Kuemper being knocked out of Game 7 in Colorado in 2014, Dubnyk breaking his finger during a morning skate last season in Dallas), we'll see Stalock at least recalled once the Minnesota playoffs begin.
