Wild forward Brad Staubitz clears waivers, reassigned to Houston

The Minnesota Wild continue to shake up their roster in hopes of turning around their sinking season.

The latest move was the demotion of forward Brad Staubitz, who was reassigned to the AHL's Houston Aeros on Saturday after clearing waivers.

Staubitz, 28, had 73 penalty minutes, no points and a minus-7 plus/minus rating in 43 games with the Wild this season.
