Veeeeeeerrrrrrrrrry interesting.
The Wild have sent Robbie Earl down to Houston, recalling Cody Almond. This is Almond’s first call up to the big show and, as Brian Stensaas said over at Russo’s Rants, there’s a chance that he cracks the lineup tomorrow against the Atlanta TrashOurYoungGuys (in all seriousness, the Thrashers are my favorite team not named the Minnesota Wild…I just thought that the name given by Razor was funny).
Almond is having a decent season with Houston, despite having struggled after an early injury. He has four goals and ten points in his last nine games with Houston and has been one of the team’s more intriguing prospects over the last year or two.
As for Earl, Richards said that he “has slipped a little.”
It will probably be determined tomorrow whether or not Almond debuts, but I’d say there’s a good chance.
