Cristoph Bertschy May Make NHL Debut Saturday

With Zach Parise set to miss a few games, the Wild will recall 21-year-old Swiss forward Cristoph Bertschy, according to reports.

With Zach Parise going down with an injury in Thursday night's loss to the Nashville Predators, the Wild had to make a call-up to fill in the roster, which doesn't currently have four full lines of forwards. Who gets called up couldn't be an easy decision for Chuck Fletcher with Justin Fontaine and Tyler Graovac already on injured reserve.

Options on a thin Iowa Wild roster are not plentiful either. One of the Iowa's top scorers, Michael Keranen, a potential call-up candidate, is also out with an injury.
