The Wild originally thought Heatley could come back for the playoffs, but Fletcher announced Heatley isn’t expected to return until the beginning of the 2013-14 season.
 

Heatley was injured in a fight at the end of the Wilds’ 4-2 loss to San Jose last Wednesday, when he was slashed in the arm by the Sharks’ Marc-Edouard Vlasic.

The 32-year-old Heatley has 11 goals and 10 assists in 36 games for the Wild this season.

Minnesota (22-15-2, 46pts) currently holds the seventh seed in the Western Conference.
