Soucy spent the majority of the 2017-18 season in the AHL, where he amassed 15 points (1G / 14A) in 67 games, but he also appeared in three games with Minnesota. With Ryan Suter definitely out to start the playoffs and Jared Spurgeon a big question mark, Soucy has been recalled and is expected to open the playoffs on the Wild’s second pairings.

Soucy, 23, was a fifth round pick in 2013 and has picked up 15 points (1G / 14A) in 67 games in his first full pro season in Iowa. Soucy has been recalled because Ryan Suter is out indefinitely with a fractured fibula.
