I'm hearing Chad Rau, Jed Ortmeyer and Matt Kassian, who were part of the Wild's two-game winning streak over Dallas and Colorado before the break, will all return.

Look for Rau to come back up to the big club. The undrafted rookie has a goal in two games.

With the All-Star break upon the Minnesota Wild, the team trimmed its roster by three, sending Matt Kassian, Jed Ortemeyer and Chad Rau to Houston of the AHL.

Rau heads back to the minors to get more seasoning. He has a goal in his two career NHL games.

Prosser has been up and down all season but figures to add depth to the team's ineffective blue line. He has five assists through 18 games.
