The Wild recalled Kunin, Landon Ferraro and Zack Mitchell from AHL Iowa on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Wild are extremely banged up at forward, so it's quite possible that all three players Minnesota recalled Wednesday will be in the lineup for Friday's game against the Jets. Kunin might be worth a look in daily contests if he takes on a top-six role against Winnipeg, but Ferraro and Mitchell can be ignored in all formats.

Kunin was reassigned after making his NHL debut in a 5-4 overtime loss to Columbus on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The Wisconsin product's debut didn't exactly go to plan, with Kunin failing to record a shot and posting a minus-1 rating in nearly 14 minutes of time on ice. Kunin is a first-year pro with a lot of promise and is likely to return to the NHL before the end of the campaign.

Kunin was recalled from AHL Iowa on Friday, Rachel Blount of the Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The NHL's Wild has seen a slew of forwards sustain injuries recently, thus necessitating Kunin's call-up to hockey's highest level. Kunin appeared in six preseason contests ahead of this 2017-18 campaign, adding one goal to counter a minus-4 rating, but he was one of the last to be cut out of training camp.

Kunin was assigned to the Iowa Wild of the AHL on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The former Wisconsin Badger thoroughly impressed in training camp -- his first as a pro -- but ultimately the organization decided it would be best for Kunin and their roster math to begin the season in the minors. A talented player who's responsible in his own zone and isn't afraid to go to the "dirty areas" of the ice, Kunin has a good chance of being recalled at some point during the 2017-18 campaign.

Kunin scored a goal in Thursday's preseason win over St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

Kunin continues to make a strong impression during the preseason and could win a final roster spot with the Wild. However, the Wild may still want him to begin the season in the AHL since he's played just 12 games in the minors after playing college hockey with the University of Wisconsin the past two years.

Kunin is in the mix for a final spot on the Wild roster, Michael Russo of TheAthletic.com reports

EDGE Analysis

He's likely battling Joel Eriksson Ek for the final roster spot. Kunin played in the first preseason games and has just two shots on goal and no points. It would be a surprise if Kunin began the season in the NHL, as he likely needs some more experience in the AHL after playing college hockey last year. Kunin scored five goals with two assists in 12 games in the AHL last year after playing for the University of Wisconsin. The 15th overall pick in the 2016 draft could be an impact player when he reaches the NHL.
