The Wild have returned Anton Khudobin to the Aeros, and I suppose he will be available tomorrow night in Des Moines if Nolan Schaefer is unable to play and if Barry Brust hasn't received his medical clearance. Krys Kolanos, however, appears to be staying for a bit longer with the Wild. I don't see him returning until the Wild's season ends short of the playoffs, at which point he, Peter Olvecky, and John Scott will all return to help the Aeros out on their hoped for run through the playoffs. (I wonder if, with Kolanos gone, they're gonna try to find someone else for the Bo's Place thing?)
And Jeff Henderson, the goalie who has never played in college or the pros, was released from his amateur tryout contract.

Khudobin and Kolanos Go Wild (WITH UPDATES)
This is a really quick post, but for those who haven't heard the news...
Anton Khudobin and Krys Kolanos were called up to the Wild today. To replace Khodobin, Jeff Henderson was signed to an Amateur Tryout Contract. I'll see what I can dig up -- hopefully Andrew or Heather or Fred know more info.
UPDATE:
Sorry about that Fred, I didn't see your update below.
EVEN FURTHER UPDATE:
Niklas Backstrom is suffering from "lower body soreness" according to Russo, so Khudobin has been called up on an emergency basis. Harding is starting, and supposedly, Backstrom is suiting up and can play if needed.
And the Wild have several injuries on the foward front, so the Kolanos move makes some sense, especially if they're hoping for some offense. And Russo says that Kolanos is suiting up tonight and should play.
As to our newest emergency goalie Jeff Henderson...the best that I can find is, like Fred said in the comment, that he is a backup goalie for the University of Wisconsin who doesn't appear to have gotten any playing time. Then again, I caught the end of Constantine's interview with Joe O'Donnell right before the game started, and Constantine said that at this point of the season, the team didn't really have many options for players and were just looking for someone who could make the arena in time. But you would think that maybe they would have asked Tony Hrkac about grabbing one of his players for an amateur tryout :-)
Now Schaefer has missed the past several games due to a lower body injury, but Constantine had made it clear on Friday night that Schaefer could play if needed, but that he hadn't seen the need to make him push through an injury when Khudobin was available. He also said they were hoping that Barry Brust would be cleared to play come Monday.
