Wild's Dominic Turgeon: Latches on with Minnesota
Rotowire
Turgeon signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Wild on Wednesday.
The 25-year-old forward had just 13 points in 31 contests with AHL Grand Rapids last year. He's made nine NHL appearances for the Red Wings, but none since 2018-19, and it's unlikely he'll make a breakthrough with the Wild this year.

Turgeon appeared in four games with Detroit last season, registering two shots, three hits and a minus-3 rating while averaging 12:35 of ice time. The 23-year-old center didn't fare much better in the AHL, notching a mere 20 points in 72 appearances.

Red Wings' Dominic Turgeon: Ascends to big club
Rotowire

Red Wings' Dominic Turgeon: Full recovery expected after multiple surgeries
Rotowire
Turgeon required two surgeries in response to a diagnosis of thoracic outlet syndrome (blood clot) in his right arm, though he's expected to make a full recovery.
This is great news for Turgeon, who reportedly was treated by the same doctor that addressed Lightning superstar Steven Stamkos' own blood-clot condition two years ago. A touted center prospect for the Red Wings, Turgeon is said to need blood thinners "for a few months," but the 22-year-old -- who appeared in five NHL games for his debut season with the Red Wings in 2017-18 -- should be ready by the time training camp rolls around. He should be eager to get going after this recent malady and having produced 14 goals, 18 assists and a plus-13 rating through 69 games with AHL Grand Rapids.

Turgeon is facing an indefinite absence after being treated for thoracic outlet syndrome, which led to a blood clot in his right arm, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
The good news for the Red Wings prospect is that this isn't a career-threatening condition. Turgeon, whom the Red Wings selected with a 2014 third-round (63rd overall) draft pick, appeared in five NHL games this season, adding three hits and eight blocked shots in January.

While hockey fans are treated to the NHL's All-Star Weekend festivities, Turgeon heads back to the Wings' top development affiliate with a home game against the Rockford IceHogs on tap Friday.

Red Wings' Dominic Turgeon: Comes back to Detroit
Rotowire
Turgeon was summoned to the Red Wings via AHL Grand Rapids on Wednesday.
In a cap-saving move, Turgeon will trade places with David Booth. However, this only concerns the team's fourth line or its press box attendees, and you won't see fantasy owners flocking to the fantasy waiver wire to pick up a guy who's only averaged 9:37 through his first four NHL games.

Red Wings' Dominic Turgeon: Returns to top development affiliate
Rotowire
Turgeon was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Tuesday.
Not much was expected of Turgeon during a four-game stint with the Wings, but he still managed eight blocked shots over 9:37 of average ice time in that span. This shouldn't be viewed as a performance demotion, as the rookie was merely patching up the forward depth with Darren Helm and Justin Abdelkder recently tending to lower-body injuries and Luke Glendening hampered by a hand ailment. At least one of those guys should return for Tuesday's home game against the Flyers.
