The Minnesota Wild released veteran forward Ryan Malone from his professional tryout, the team announced Friday. He will now try out for Minnesota's AHL affiliate in Iowa.

Even if he signs an AHL contract, Malone would still be eligible to suit up for Team USA at the upcoming Olympics.

Malone last played in the NHL in 2014-15 with the New York Rangers, but only dressed for six games and didn't record a point. He did enjoy success early in his career, however, compiling six 20-goal season from 2003-04 to 2011-12.
