The Minnesota Wild have missed Ryan Hartman. Not that they’ve lost a lot of games because he’s not in the lineup, but just having a solid sense of offensive depth and the flexibility and options that head coach Dean Evason has at his disposal at forward is always nice.
According to Evason, who spoke to the media after the Wilds’ 4-1 win Detroit Red Wings On Wednesday night, Hartman wants to return to Friday’s match Chicago Blackhawks.
#mnwild just met ryan hartman who is going to skate with the assistants tomorrow. He wants to return to Chicago on Friday. If he feels good tomorrow and gets the all-clear from the doctors, it sounds like he’ll be back on Friday even without a full workout.

Hartman hasn’t played since October 30th, so is it worth the player’s return after six weeks out without a full training session? Probably not, but you can’t blame him for wanting to come back as soon as possible.
Upon his return, Sammy Walker will likely return to the AHL. It’s been a fun three games with the speedy winger, but he’ll be happy to score a lot more goals in the minors.
