Calen Addison News
Minnesota Wild defenseman Calen Addison will be back from the press box Thursday against Columbus and return to the lineup after a four-game stint as a healthy scratch. The 22-year-old has been a liability defensively for the team and head coach Dave Evason has elected to keep him out of action for a bit, but Jon Merrill (illness) and Jonas Brodin (lower body) won't be available Thursday and there are bodies needed at the back. Addison has enjoyed a fine campaign offensively with 27 points in 52 games, although it also must be noted that 18 of his points have come on the power play. Dakota Mermis will also come into the Wild lineup Thursday.
Minnesota Wild defenseman Calen Addison will be a healthy scratch for Wednesday's matchup against Colorado. The young defenseman is among the league's top-scoring rookies, but his defensive play has been lacking and head coach Dave Evason has once again run out of patience. Addison was also taken out of the lineup earlier in the season. The 22-year-old has tallied 27 points in 52 games but is also carrying a horrible minus-18 rating. He's minus-10 since the start of last month. Veteran Alex Goligoski is set to take Addison's spot Wednesday, with Jared Spurgeon moving to the first power-play unit.
Minnesota Wild defenseman Calen Addison ended a scoring slump with a goal and two assists in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Lightning, becoming the first rookie blue-liner in franchise history to have multiple three-point games. Sitting on 19 points, Addison is the top-scoring first-year defenseman in the league, but he tends to be very erratic with his production. He had seven points in October and enjoyed a good scoring spurt at the start of December, but there have many dry spells, including prior to Wednesday's action when Addison had posted only one point in nine games. Addison's offensive contributions are tied to Minnesota's success on the power play, as the 21-year-old has tallied 13 of his points with the man advantage.
Minnesota Wild defenseman Calen Addison will have Friday night off as a healthy scratch. The 22-year-old is having a nice rookie campaign with 14 points in 25 games, but head coach Dave Evason has said that he wants to see Addison defend better. The young blue-liner will hope to get back into the lineup Saturday versus Vancouver. It appears that the empty spot in the team will be filled by Jonas Brodin (lower body) on Friday. He has missed the last four games, but Brodin worked with his usual partner Matt Dumba during the morning skate, which strongly suggests that he's back in for Friday's clash with the Oilers.
