Falk was reassigned to AHL Lake Erie on Thursday, Aaron Portzline of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Ryan Murray (illness) deemed available, Falk's been returned to the minors, where he's picked up six points and 41 PIM in 28 games this season. The 27-year-old defenseman has failed in his bid to secure a full-time role in the NHL, serving as an organizational depth piece since debuting with the Wild in 2009-10.
