ST. PAUL, Minn – The Minnesota Wild made a few roster moves on Friday. The Wild first claimed defenseman Daemon Hunt off of waivers from the Columbus Blue Jackets and recalled defenseman Matt Kiersted from the Iowa Wild.
In addition to these moves, the Wild released defenseman Jack Johnson from his professional tryout (PTO).
Johnson, 38, has played in 1,228 NHL games in his career across 19 seasons. He was set to play in his 20th NHL season if the Wild would have signed him but they just released him from his PTO which makes him a free agent now.
