Lorenz was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Monday.
Lorenz spent the past few weeks with Minnesota and appeared in five consecutive games early in his stint with the NHL club, but he was a healthy scratch for three of the team's last four games. The 22-year-old recorded an assist, 15 PIM, seven hits and three blocked shots while averaging 8:39 of ice time across six appearances with the NHL club, and he should see more consistent playing time with Iowa.

Lorenz picked up an assist and five PIM in Monday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Lorenz's helper was his first point. He's also shown an ability to mix things up early in his NHL career, earning 15 PIM and two hits across two games. The 22-year-old University of Denver product will likely continue to see bottom-six minutes while the Wild battle some injuries among their depth forwards.

Lorenz was recalled from AHL Iowa on Friday.
Lorenz had a strong start to the year in the AHL, recording two goals, an assist and a plus-3 rating over his first two regular-season appearances with Iowa. He hasn't yet made his NHL debut but will be called up to provide additional depth after Nick Foligno (upper body) was placed on injured reserve and Tyler Pitlick was sent down Friday.

Lorenz scored two goals in AHL Iowa's 4-3 shootout loss to Texas on Friday.
Lorenz made three appearances late in the 2025-26 campaign for Iowa. He spent the bulk of last year with the University of Denver, earning 35 points over 43 games in his senior year of college. He'll now look to keep his scoring success up as he adjusts to the AHL, and he's off to a fantastic start.

Lorenz agreed to terms on a two-year, entry-level contract with Minnesota on Wednesday.
Lorenz is fresh off winning a second National Championship with Denver, having racked up 16 goals and 18 assists in his senior campaign. Selected by the Wild in the second round of the 2022 NHL Draft, the 22-year-old winger's deal will start in 2026-27. Look for Lorenz to finish up the year with AHL Iowa.

Lorenz scored a goal and added an assist in the University of Denver's 4-1 win over Colorado College on Saturday.
Lorenz has surpassed his 20-point total from 44 games last season. He's now sitting at 11 goals and 11 helpers through 31 appearances, giving him a chance to take a run at his 30-point campaign from 2023-24, which is his best in the NCAA. The senior forward looks set to end the season strong, which could earn him a contract with the Wild after his collegiate campaign is over.
