Wild claim Prosser on waivers from Blues

The Minnesota Wild claimed defenseman Nate Prosser on waivers from the St. Louis Blues on Thursday.

Prosser, 28, spent his first five NHL seasons with the Wild; he signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Blues on July 22.

"To get the news that I'm coming back and to get that Minnesota Wild jersey back on, it's been a wild day," Prosser said.

In 53 regular-season games with the Wild last season, Prosser had two goals, six assists and a plus-2 rating. In 10 Stanley Cup Playoff games he had a plus-2 rating and seven shots on goal.
