Dewar needs to miss at least seven days of action in order to be placed on injured reserve. But a few weeks are anticipated to pass during the center’s absence, per Joe Smith of The Athletic.

With nine points and seven goals in 45 games this season, Dewar is one of the Wild’s most important penalty takers. This season, he has spent 93 minutes and 55 seconds on the penalty kill, second only to Joel Eriksson Ek’s 100:09.
The Wild recalled Lucchini prior to their Sunday afternoon game against the Carolina Hurricanes, which will wrap up their three-game road trip, because Freddy Gaudreau (upper-body) is also hurt. Between his first two call-ups with the Wild this season, Lucchini, 28, participated in four games.i
