Bartkowski was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Bartkowski was up with the parent club to serve as depth while Carson Soucy (illness) was out. Per Michael Russo of The Athletic, Soucy may be ready to return Sunday versus the Avalanche. If not, Bartkowski will likely rejoin the team in Minnesota, although it's unlikely he'll draw into the lineup.

Minnesota recalled Bartkowski from AHL Iowa on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Carson Soucy is under the weather, so Bartkowski will be on hand as an insurance policy for Thursday's clash with the Canucks. The 31-year-old blueliner will return to the minors as soon as Soucy is deemed fit to play.

Minnesota assigned Bartkowski to AHL Iowa on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The Wild activated Greg Pateryn (groin) off injured reserve in a corresponding move, so they're no longer in need of Bartkowski's services as a depth defenseman. The 31-year-old will likely spend the rest of the campaign in the minors.

Minnesota recalled Bartkowski from AHL Iowa on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Wild have a few defensemen dealing with minor injuries ahead of Thursday's clash with Calgary, so Bartkowski will be on hand as an insurance policy. In all likelihood, the 31-year-old journeyman will return to the minors after sitting as a healthy scratch against the Flames.

Bartkowski signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Wild on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bartkowski essentially spent the entirety of the 2018-19 campaign in the minors, notching four goals and 19 points while posting a plus-11 rating in 70 contests. The 31-year-old blueliner is nothing more than an organizational depth option at this stage in his career and will carry zero fantasy value in 2019-20.

Bartkowski was assigned to AHL Iowa on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Bartkowski scored a goal during his two-game stint with the big club before heading back down to the minors. His demotion suggests that Nick Seeler (upper body) will likely be set to play in the team's next game in Toronto on Thursday.

The Wild recalled Bartkowski from AHL Iowa on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Bartkowski has 253 career NHL games under his belt, but he has spent the whole season in the minors, recording nine points in 28 games. The veteran blueliner could slot into Saturday's game versus the Jets with Mathew Dumba (pectoral) out for three months and Nick Seeler (undisclosed) considered questionable.

Bartkowski was waived by the Wild on Saturday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bartkowski failed to record a point through five preseason games with the wild, even though he was heavily featured by means of averaging 20:42 of ice time. He'll head to AHL Iowa in the likely event that he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Bartkowski agreed to a one-year, two-way deal with Minnesota worth $650,000.
EDGE Analysis
The 6-foot-1 Pittsburgh native scored just one goal and five points in 42 games with Calgary over the last two season. Bartkowski has posted a pair of 18-point campaigns in his NHL career, but has watched his playing time slowly disappear, averaging just 13:21 of ice time per game in 18 games last season.

Bartkowski tallied an assist and fired six shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old blueliner has been a healthy scratch more often than not this season, so although his performance against Arizona was definitely noteworthy, it shouldn't be viewed as a sign of things to come.
