Spacek notched a power-play assist in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Capitals.

Spacek has filled a part-time role even with all the injuries the Wild have had to navigate on the blue line. The 23-year-old has often worked on the third pairing when in the lineup. He has one helper, eight shots on net, eight blocked shots and four hits over eight contests this season. Spacek and Cameron Crotty will compete for playing time until Brock Faber (skull) or Jared Spurgeon (lower body) can return to action.
