Rehabilitating Wild defenseman Kurtis Foster hopes to play in a game within a month, as reported by the Canadian Press. Foster broke his left leg 10 months ago and has been working his way back. The plan is to send him to Houston sometime after the all-star break to play for their minor league team before being cleared for NHL action. He can spend a maximum of two weeks with the AHL Aeros for his conditioning assignment. "The idea is just to get him practising at a higher level and, hopefully, playing," GM Doug Risebrough said Tuesday. Risebrough said there's no timetable for Foster's return.
