The Wild currently have 12 healthy forwards on the roster after sending Ohgren to the minors, so he could be back with the big club in short order. This move could also signal that one of Marcus Foligno (upper body) or Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) is close to returning, but that remains to be seen. Ohgren has two goals and five points across 24 outings with Minnesota this season.

Rotowire
Ohgren scored a goal on four shots in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Kraken.

Ohgren has logged 19 games for Minnesota this season in which he generated one goal on 25 shots, three assists and 17 hits while averaging 11:02 of ice time. Whether Ohgren remains in the lineup for Saturday's clash with the Red Wings will likely depend on the health of Jakub Lauko (lower body).

Ohgren has one goal, three assists, 25 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and 17 hits through 19 NHL outings this season. There's a good chance Ohgren will return to Minnesota after the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off because Ryan Hartman (suspension) and Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) will be unavailable to play against Detroit on Feb. 22.

Wild's Liam Ohgren: Opens scoring in win
Rotowire
Ohgren scored a goal on two shots and had a hit in Thursday's 4-0 win over Montreal.
Ohgren gave Minnesota the lead early in the second period when he took advantage of Montreal goalie Jakub Dobes, who had lost his stick, and beat the netminder over his right shoulder. It was the first goal of the season for Ohgren, the 2022 first-round draft pick who was called up from AHL Iowa two weeks ago for his third stint this season. The 21-year-old forward told Joe Smith of The Athletic that he's feeling more comfortable in the NHL during his latest callup and understands there's more time and space to make plays.

Wild's Liam Ohgren: Records two assists vs. Colorado
Rotowire
Ohgren recorded two assists, three shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in 9:04 of ice time during Monday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.
Ohgren posted a minus-4 rating Saturday against Nashville in his return to NHL action, but he was much more effective Monday while getting on the scoresheet for the first time in 10 NHL appearances this year. The 20-year-old recorded his first helper on a first-period tally by Jake Middleton and also helped out on the game-winning goal by Yakov Trenin in the third period. Despite his solid performance against Colorado, it wouldn't be surprising to see Ohgren lose his spot on the NHL roster once the Wild get closer to full health.

Wild's Liam Ohgren: Recalled from AHL Iowa
Rotowire
Ohgren was elevated from the minors Tuesday.
Ohgren's promotion comes as Jakub Lauko (lower body) was designated for injured reserve. While Ohgren could be in contention to face the Canucks on Tuesday, he's far from a lock for the lineup and would need to edge out Devin Shore or Ben Jones for a spot. In his eight NHL games this year, the 20-year-old Ohgren has yet to register a point while recording 10 shots, eight hits and a minus-2 rating.

Ohgren hasn't earned a point in eight NHL appearances this season while collecting 10 shots on net, three blocked shots and eight hits. If Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) is ready to return for Tuesday's game against St. Louis, Ohgren could still be summoned from the minors to accompany Minnesota on the team's three-game road trip.

Rotowire
Ohgren was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Thursday.
Ohgren has played in seven games for the Wild to start the season but has yet to write his name on the scoresheet. In those outings, the 20-year-old winger managed eight shots, eight hits and three blocks while averaging 9:33 of ice time. The decision to send Ohgren back to the minors is a good indication that Ryan Hartman (upper body) will be ready to suit up versus the Lightning on Friday.

Wild's Liam Ohgren: Stands out in win
Rotowire
Ohgren scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Sharks.
Ohgren was quiet in his debut Friday versus the Golden Knights but made up for it with a strong showing in his second game. The winger helped out on a Declan Chisholm tally in the first period, and his first NHL goal at 14:23 of the second stood as the game-winner. Ohgren is likely to close out the campaign in a middle-six role for the Wild, and he's in a good position to compete for an NHL job in training camp ahead of the 2024-25 season.
