After making the Wild out of training camp, Tyler Graovac got some bad news on Tuesday -- head coach Mike Yeo said Graovac would miss the next 2-3 weeks with a groin strain.

Graovac, 22, played just under 14 minutes in Minnesota’s crazy 5-4 comeback win over Colorado in the season-opener, but sat out Saturday’s win over St. Louis.

At 6-foot-5 and 200 pounds, Graovac was a notable physical presence in the Wild lineup, and is an intriguing prospect -- he impressed with AHL Iowa last year, scoring 21 goals and 46 points in 73 games.
