The Wild recalled Rechlicz from AHL Iowa on Saturday, the Minneapolis Star Tribune's Michael Russo reports. Rechlicz has hopped between Iowa and Minnesota several times this week, serving as extra preseason depth for the Wild. That appears to be the case for Saturday's preseason finale against the Blues.

Rechlicz was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Wednesday, Chad Graff of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. After he was waived by the Wild earlier in the week, Rechlicz rejoined the team Thursday, with the team needing extra bodies for the exhibition against the Blues. He'll now return to Iowa, where he is expected to remain for the majority of the 2014-15 campaign.

Rechlicz was recalled from AHL Iowa on Wednesday, Michael Russo of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Rechlicz, who posted one goal, one assist and 87 penalty minutes in 25 games with AHL Hershey last season, will be up merely to provide depth for Thursday's preseason game against St. Louis.

Minnesota has placed Rechlicz on waivers. The Wrecker offers little for fantasy owners outside of penalty minutes if he does make his way into the NHL this year.

Joel Rechlicz has agreed to a one-year, two-way deal with the Minnesota Wild. Rechlicz had two points and 87 penalty minutes in 25 AHL games in 2013-14. He's not expected to have any fantasy value next season.

Joel Rechlicz was an unusual choice as the Capitals' fourth shooter in Washington's 4-3 shootout victory over Philadelphia. Rechlicz has no goals, one assist, and 105 penalty minutes in 26 career NHL games. "He's an unsung hero," Capitals coach Adam Oates said. "All you ever hear is that he's a great guy. He fights for his teammates all the time. I love that he scored but there aren't a lot of times you get to thank a guy. I asked him if he's any good at breakaways. He said, 'Yeah,' and I said, 'You're up.' He didn't even bat an eye. It's like he expected it. And when he scored it was like it was no big deal." Rechlicz told the story a little different, saying that he was "kind of in shock" after being picked by Oates. Either way, don't count on Rechlicz doing much offensively in 2013-14.

Joel Rechlicz has signed a one-year, two-way contract to remain with the Washington Capitals. He was acquired from Phoenix in April in exchange for fellow minor-leaguer Matt Clackson. In 40 AHL games with Portland and Hershey this past season, Rechlicz recorded no points and 154 penalty minutes.
