Wild's Teemu Pulkkinen: Getting hot in AHL

Pulkkinen has scored five goals in the past week at AHL Iowa and ranks ninth in the league with eight, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Analysis:

He would appear likely to get a trial with Minnesota again soon. However, the Finn's struggled to turn his AHL success (he led the circuit in goals two years ago) into a steady role at hockey's highest level to this point.
