Reilly, 23, has not recorded a point in one game at both the NHL and AHL level. Tonight he is expected to draw back into the Wild lineup for Mathew Dumba. Reilly has a lot of offensive ability, but that has yet to translate into his NHL game.
Reilly played 14:09 and was a minus-1 in the Wild’s season opening loss in St. Louis and tonight he will come out of the lineup in favour of Christian Folin. It may be more of a reaction to their opponent than a knock on Reilly. The Jets are a heavy, physical team and it should be a game more suitable for Folin’s game.
Reilly has been minus-3 in his last three games and has just two assists in his last 16 games. He will be replaced by Nate Prosser tonight.
The Wild signed the University of Minnesota product last season and he has picked up 18 points (5G / 13A) in 32 games with Iowa (AHL) this season.

His offensive ability could see him playing a bit of power-play in his debut, but head coach Mike Yeo did not confirm that.
Reilly, 22, has five goals and 13 assists (18 points) in 32 games with Iowa this season. The highly-touted offensive defenseman didn’t make his NHL debut during his last call-up, but with Nate Prosser dealing with an injury, he could get into the lineup this time around.
Reilly, 22, has registered two goals and seven assists in his first 23 AHL games with the Iowa Wild. He as a great offensive-defenseman in his time at the University of Minnesota and now it looks like he will get a crack at the NHL.
