Ivan Lodnia

Lodina, 19, spent the majority of last season in the OHL as a member of the Erie Otters, tallying 59 points in 62 games -- nearly a point-per-game player. In addition to his junior service, Lodina dressed in six games for AHL Iowa, going pointless in those contests (he did, however, post a plus-2 rating). The American-born right winger is likely still several years away from seeing NHL action but given that he finished 2017-18 playing in the AHL, Minnesota is hoping he can pick up where he left off and continue his growth and development in the minors, but failing that, he could return to the junior level for more seasoning. It would take an unprecedented slew of injuries to the Wild's forward group for the youngster to see any NHL action this season.
