Although he returned to practice at the end of last month, Lettieri wasn't quite ready to hit the ice. However, things have changed, as the Wild announced that Lettieri has been activated from injured reserve and played tonight against the Chicago Blackhawks at United Center.
Lettieri's return marks a homecoming of sorts, as he originally played collegiate hockey with the University of Minnesota. Despite going undrafted, he signed with the New York Rangers in 2017, later joining the Anaheim Ducks before ultimately landing with the Boston Bruins.
