Rau was reassigned to the minors Monday.
EDGE Analysis
While the team could still bring Rau back prior to Wednesday's clash with the Blackhawks, the decision to not at least keep Rau on the taxi squad could be an indication Marcus Foligno (upper body) will be ready to play against Chicago. The 29-year-old Rau has logged just five games for Minnesota this year and figures to remain a fringe roster player.

Rau was promoted to the taxi squad from AHL Iowa on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Rau has averaged 8:56 of ice time and recorded three shots on net over his four NHL appearances this season. Since he was reassigned to AHL Iowa last Sunday, the 29-year-old has logged one goal and one assist over two AHL performances. Should Nick Bjugstad (upper body) or Joel Eriksson Ek (COVID-19) remain ineligible to participate in Monday's contest against Colorado, Rau is a likely candidate to receive a call up to the active roster.
