The Wild have recalled another forward from AHL Iowa, adding Sweden-born scorer Michael Keranen to the roster ahead of a Tuesday night showdown with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The undrafted 25-year-old has eight points and two power-play goals in 13 games with the Iowa Wild this season, and registered 37 points in the AHL last year.

Keranen has spent much of his professional career in Finland, and racked up 57 points in 57 games for Ilves Tempere of SM-liiga, the nation's top professional league, during the 2013-14 season, and was named the league's regular-season MVP.
