Clutter with Koivu/Heatley
With the two combining for only two goals and eight points over eight games, the Wild likely want to create some space for their most talented duo.

#Flyers announced that they have recalled forward Brayden Schenn.
Schenn figures to play on one of the bottom two lines. With four goals and eight points through four games with the Phantoms, the former fifth overall pick certainly regained his scoring touch.

Sources continue to say that 18-year-old rookie Sean Couturier and 25-year-old Matt Read are both on the roster.
Schenn may have made the roster but isn't 100 percent healthy at this point. Last season Schenn scored 21 goals and 53 points over 27 games for the Saskatoon Blades following playing for the Los Angeles Kings, Manchester Monarchs and Brandon Wheat Kings. Expect him to be eased into the lineup.
Cal Clutterbuck didn't practice today with a groin strain, but Yeo hopes he'll skate tomorrow in Duluth.
The gritty forward might not be ready for Game 1 with the season opener less than a week away. Last season he posted a career high 19 goals and 34 points -- totals he could hit if he remains on the third line. Nevertheless, he remains a player who will miss some games every year due to his style of play.
Andreas Nodl (groin pull) and Brayden Schenn (shoulder injury) worked out on their own initially on Sunday before joining the main group on the ice at Skate Zone. It’s becoming more feasible that Schenn could start the season with the Phantoms while rehabbing his shoulder. That would allow the Flyers significant salary cap relief during the first week of the season to make some roster adjustments, then LTI Ian Laperriere (post-concussion syndrome) and deal with any cap issues in mid-October.
Schenn could get called down as the Flyers have no shortage of youngsters ready to step into the lineup. Last season Schenn scored 21 goals and 53 points over 27 games for the Saskatoon Blades following playing for the Los Angeles Kings, Manchester Monarchs and Brandon Wheat Kings. Expect him to put on a Flyers sweater sooner rather than later.

No immediate fantasy hockey value in the AHL.
Cal Clutterbuck is the latest player to go on the shelf. He’s been dealing with a tweaked groin, so Mike Yeo will keep him out of the lineup tonight as a precaution, saying he’s seen everything he needs to see from Clutter.

As far as Palmieri, Carlyle expressed disappointment in the winger’s performance overall as his play didn’t approach what he showed with the Crunch last season when he led them with 29 goals.
Palmieri failed to show up despite having a chance to earn playing time during training camp. The former 26th overall pick still led the Syracuse Crunch in goals last season and should be considered a top prospect. Look for him to get called up if any significant offensive player gets hurt.
