David Spacek News: Elevated from minors

Spacek was recalled from AHL Iowa on Monday.

Spacek will provide depth on Minnesota's blue line since Jake Middleton is dealing with an illness, and it's unclear if the latter will be ready for Tuesday's home game against the Sharks. Spacek, a fifth-round pick in 2022, has yet to make his NHL debut. The right-shot defenseman has six helpers and a minus-1 rating across 12 appearances with the minor-league squad this year.
