Kunin left Sunday's game against Detroit in the second period Michael Russo of The Athletic Minnesota reports, and is reportedly dealing with an injury.

EDGE Analysis

While it's uncertain what specific play forced Kunin's exit, the injury appeared to be to his left leg. This is especially unfortunate for Kunin as this was just his second game NHL game since November, and it appeared he'd be given steady playing time as Minnesota enters the thick of the playoff hunt. The 20-year-old's status for Tuesday's tilt against Carolina is certainly in question and figures to be updated by the team ahead of the game, but if he doesn't recover in time, Marcus Foligno figures to draw into the lineup.

Kunin will suit up for Friday's game against the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Kunin hasn't dressed since a Nov. 20 meeting with the Devils. Instead, he's spent his time with AHL Iowa, scoring 10 goals and 19 points through 36 games. The rookie forward has held his own with the big club, though, mustering two goals and two assists in 17 games earlier this season, but he averaged just 13:14 per game, making it tough to produce a consistent fantasy impact.

The Wild recalled Kunin from AHL Iowa on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kunin is Minnesota's top offensive prospect, so he'll join the Wild for the stretch run as they continue to battle for a playoff spot in the highly competitive Central Division. The 2016 first-round pick has been a solid contributor in the minors this season, notching 10 goals and 19 points in 36 contests, so he could provide a spark up front for a Minnesota team that's averaging 2.98 goals per game this campaign, 11th in the NHL.

Kunin was sent down to AHL Iowa on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

With Kunin bogged down in a 10-game pointless streak, it shouldn't come as a surprise the club opted to flip him for hot hand Zack Mitchell, who has been lighting it up in the AHL. It probably won't be the last we've seen of Kunin with the Wild this season, as his demotion is probably just a way to motivate him to rediscover his scoring touch.

Kunin scored the team's lone goal in a loss to Winnipeg on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 2016 first-round draft pick has impressed in seven games this season, managing two goals and four points. The 19-year-old plays on the penalty kill and it won't be long before he gets a spot on the power play, making him lethal in all situations. Kunin skated on a top-six line with Eric Staal and a returning Nino Niederreiter and should turn into a dynamic goal-scorer. If he sticks around with the big club, Kunin is worth a look in some deeper leagues.

Kunin was called up Monday from AHL Iowa.

EDGE Analysis

After just being sent to the AHL on Sunday Kunin will drive right back up I-90 and return to the majors, and it seems likely that Minnesota simply wanted the 19-year-old to practice with their AHL affiliate. After potting three points in his first five career games, Minnesota could certainly use Kunin's scoring touch regardless with their forward corps currently banged up.

Kunin was returned to the minors Sunday, per the NHL transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

The last two weeks have been a roller coaster for the 19-year-old, as he's now been called up to the show and sent back down three times since Oct. 13. Still Kunin has looked sharp throughout his trial period, and recorded three points in five games while averaging 13:48 of ice time.

Kunin was called up to the NHL on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The 19-year-old barely lasted 24 hours in the minors, as after being sent down Sunday to AHL Iowa he'll come right back up I-35 to Minnesota. Kunin looked sharp in his two game stint averaging 13:35 of ice time, logging six hits and contributing two points. While it's uncertain how head coach Bruce Boudreau plans to slot him into the lineup, Kunin seems to have the skills to potentially stick with the team.

Kunin was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Despite Kunin notching an impressive two assists on Saturday, Minnesota will return the 19-year-old to the minors. Kunin has a wicked shot and posted 38 points in 35 games for the University of Wisconsin last season, and if injuries re-arise in the future for Minnesota don't be surprised if he gets recalled again.

Kunin notched a pair of assists in Saturday's win over Calgary.

EDGE Analysis

The 19-year-old skated on the second line and showed signs of what's to come. Kunin is expected to turn into a special player for Minnesota and could stick with the big club if he keeps up this play. He was a point-per-game player in the NCAA and his tremendous work ethic combined with his offensive skill-set makes him one to keep an eye on.
