Minor Transactions: 11/04/18

It could be a quiet day on the NHL docket today with just three games on the schedule, but many teams will start making moves as early as today for the upcoming week. Check back throughout the day to see what moves teams have made today.

• The Minnesota Wild have announced they have recalled defenseman Nate Prosser from the Iowa Wild after playing two games there on a conditioning stint. Prosser is trying to work his way back into the lineup as he has appeared in just one game for the Wild and only played a total of three minutes. The 32-year-old averaged 13:26 of ATOI last season for the Wild.
• The Washington Capitals announced they had assigned defenseman Aaron Ness to the Hershey Bears of the AHL. Ness was recalled Thursday to fill in as a seventh defenseman as Brooks Orpik was out of the lineup. With Ness returning to Hershey, that likely suggests that Orpik may be ready to return to the lineup. The 28-year-old Ness has played 11 games for the Bears this year, posting four assists.
• The Anaheim Ducks have brought up center Sam Carrick, per a team release.  It’s his first stint with the big club this season after he cleared waivers late in September.  The 26-year-old has nine points in eight games with the AHL’s San Diego Gulls while leading the team in goals and points.  If Carrick gets into a game with the Ducks, it will be his first NHL action since 2015-16.
