Tyler Cuma News

Thank you everyone for the wishes! Unfortunately I was unable to make it out of Houston in time. Will not be in Phoenix tonight.

Cuma won't make it to the game tonight and therefore won't play. One of Clayton Stoner or Jared Spurgeon will play or the Wild will be forced to dress five defensemen.

Tyler Cuma, only here because of insurance, will play his first game (other than Traverse City) since tearing his ACL at the X in a Houston-Peoria game Feb. 13

Once a top prospect, Cuma will try to impress the team's brass in camp. The former first round pick only played 31 games for the Houston Aeros last season and likely will need at least another year worth of seasoning.
