Wild Injury Update
Defenseman Kurtis Foster sustained a hairline fraction in his face, and he'll be out three to five days.
According to head coach Jacques Lemaire, Pavol Demitra will probably be back for the Wilds next game on Wednesday against the Phoenix Coyotes. Demitra has missed 13 of the last 15 games, and Minnesota is 5-9-1 in those contests.
Mikko Koivu doesn't appear ready to return. After sustaining a crack in his left fibula a week ago in Vancouver courtesy of Mattias Ohlund, he was originally expected to miss a week but it now appears as though it will take longer for his injury to heal.
Kings Call Up Klemm
The Los Angeles Kings recalled defenceman Jon Klemm from AHL Manchester on Sunday prior to their game against the Anaheim (LA) Ducks. Klemm, a 14-year NHL veteran, hasn't played for the KIngs this season, but in 17 games with Manchester, where he served as captain, had no points and 16 penalty minutes.
Lehtinen Out Indefinitely
Dallas Stars right wing Jere Lehtinen will be out indefinitely with an abdominal strain, but might not need surgery as the team originally thought, according to head coach Dave Tippett. Lehtinen led the stars with 26 goals last season, and the 13-year NHL veteran has six goals and 13 assists in 21 games this season
