Nashville recalled Wiesblatt as the team is dealing with injuries and Zachary L’Heureux’s three-game suspension for slew-footing Minnesota Wild captain Jared Spurgeon.
Wiesblatt has seven goals and seven assists in 27 games played for the Milwaukee Admirals. The former Sharks prospect winger was loaned to the Admirals at the end of the 23-24 season and then officially traded during the ensuing offseason.
