Clarke was a third-round pick, 80th overall, of the New Jersey Devils in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. The 23-year-old has three games of NHL experience but has primarily played in the AHL, most recently scoring 49 points (25G / 24A) in 67 games with the Utica Comets last season.
Clarke's rights were acquired by Minnesota a month ago in a one-for-one trade for Adam Beckman and has signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Wild. The 23-year-old was an AHL All-Star in 2023-24 after putting up 25 goals and 49 points in 67 games with Utica (AHL) and will compete for a bottom-six role with the Wild this season.
Minnesota completed a minor move on Friday as Adam Beckman has been moved to New Jersey for Graeme Clarke. Clarke is a 23-year-old right-winger who was New Jersey's 2019 third-round pick (80th overall) and made his NHL debut in 2023-24, failing to pick up a point in three games played.
Clarke will be the odd-man out on Monday when the Devils play their final game of the regular season. Clarke played just three games with the Devils this season and did not register a point.
Tomas Nosek will not play on Thursday due to an undisclosed injury, allowing Clarke to re-enter the lineup. The 22-year-old Clarke recently made his NHL debut but has spent most of the season in the AHL, scoring 47 points (23G / 24A) in 64 games with the Utica Comets.
Clarke was the 80th overall pick of the Devils in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft and played one game with the club earlier this season, making his NHL debut. He has 47 points (23G / 24A) in 64 games with the Utica Comets (AHL) this season.
Clarke was the 80th overall pick of the Devils in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft and could get the chance to make his NHL debut after being recalled from the Utica Comets (AHL) on Wednesday. The 22-year-old Clarke has 21 points (11G / 10A) in 27 games with the Comets this season.
