Haight, 22, has three goals and two assists in six games with Iowa this season. He made his NHL debut at St. Louis on Oct. 9, 2025. The Wild took him in the second round (47th overall) of the 2022 draft.

Spurgeon is listed with an upper-body injury on the projected lineups page. Coach John Hynes said after Saturday's practice that he did not anticipate Spurgeon playing against the Blue Jackets.
The Wild (5-2-1) host Columbus (3-3-0) at Grand Casino Arena tonight, with the schedule listing a 6 p.m. ET start.
