In his 6th NHL game, undrafted 2nd year Minnesota Wild center Jarod Palmer(19) scored his first goal in his team’s win over Edmonton Oilers. He also suffered an upper body injury, which will sideline him for at least one upcoming game.
At the time of his recall he had 4 goals to go along with 6 assists and a +8 plus/minus in 26 games with their AHL affiliate Houston Aeros.
In his rookie season, he put up 9 goals and 19 assists in 65 regular season games and another 3 goals and 2 assists in 24 Calder Cup playoff games.
He was originally signed by the Wild to a one-year, two-way deal in 2010 and received a qualifying offer to keep him in the fold for 2011/2012.
