Rask cleared waivers and has been reassigned to Iowa (AHL).
With Nick Bjugstad close to returning to the Wild lineup, Rask was waived and sent to the minors to clear room on the roster. The emergence of Matt Boldy and Connor Dewar had pushed Rask to a reserve role.
The Wild recalled Calen Addison from Iowa (AHL).
