Wild's Danila Yurov: Tallies in Sunday's win
Yurov scored a goal on four shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
Yurov has scored in consecutive contests, and he's up to four goals and one assist on the year. The 22-year-old forward is doing a decent job of contributing in a middle-six role with just enough of everything to be interesting in deeper fantasy formats. Over nine outings, he's added 15 shots, 10 hits, five blocked shots and four PIM.

Wild's Kirill Kaprizov: Keeps scoring Sunday
Kaprizov scored a power-play goal on five shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
Kaprizov was deemed fine after an early exit Thursday versus the Blues, though he also had to recover from an illness that cost him practice time Saturday. The 29-year-old winger didn't look any worse for wear, logging 22:32 of ice time in Sunday's win. He's up to 10 goals, 15 points (four on the power play), 31 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through nine contests this season.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Light work in win
Wallstedt stopped 13 of 14 shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
Wallstedt collected his fourth straight win in this outing, and he faced a season low in shots to do so. The 23-year-old has allowed just one goal in half of his eight outings this season. He's posted a 6-1-1 record with a 1.99 GAA and a .921 save percentage. Wallstedt is poised for at least another month unchallenged as the Wild's top goalie before Filip Gustavsson (hip) is in the mix to return to action. A road trip is up next as the Wild face a four-game week -- expect Wallstedt to start three of them, beginning with Tuesday's tough matchup against the Oilers.

Wild's Olli Maatta: Traveling with team
Maatta (upper body) will be on the Wild's upcoming five-game road trip, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic on Sunday.
Maatta missed his second straight game Sunday against Columbus and doesn't have a clear timeline for a return to game action. The left-shot blueliner didn't practice Saturday, so he might not be that close to suiting up in a game, but it's at least positive that he will travel with the team. Minnesota's road trip begins Tuesday in Edmonton and concludes Oct. 27 in Utah.

Wild's Nico Sturm: Joining team on road trip
Sturm (concussion) will be with the team on its upcoming five-game road trip, per Michael Russo of The Athletic on Sunday.
While Sturm will travel with the team on its lengthy road trip, it wasn't revealed when he will be able to return to the lineup. The 31-year-old has missed the past two games due to his concussion and is currently on injured reserve.

Wild's Jared Spurgeon: Set to travel with team
Spurgeon (upper body) will travel with the Wild on their upcoming five-game road trip, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Sunday.
Spurgeon hasn't been in the lineup since Oct. 12 and was placed on injured reserve earlier Sunday due to his upper-body injury. It wasn't made explicitly clear by head coach John Hynes if Spurgeon will play on the road trip, but the fact that he is traveling is a good sign. Minnesota's final game on the road before returning home will be in Utah on Oct. 27.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Likely out at least another month
Head coach John Hynes said Sunday that Gustavsson (hip) is slated to miss at least another month, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports.
Gustavsson was moved to long-term injured reserve earlier in October, so Sunday's update isn't particularly surprising. The 28-year-old netminder recently began skating on his own, but he still has several steps to take in his recovery before he's in the mix to return to game action. Jesper Wallstedt and Calvin Pickard should continue to handle goaltending duties in Gustavsson's absence.

Wild's Carson Lambos: Brought up from minors
Lambos was summoned from AHL Iowa on Sunday.
Minnesota also placed Jared Spurgeon (upper body) on injured reserve and recalled forward Hunter Haight from AHL Iowa on Sunday. Lambos has notched one goal and one assist in six AHL appearances this campaign. He will be an option for Sunday's matchup against Columbus, but it wouldn't be surprising if he sat as a healthy scratch.

Wild's Hunter Haight: Up from AHL
Haight was called up from AHL Iowa on Sunday.
Haight has three goals and five points in six appearances with Iowa this season. Although the 22-year-old has been demonstrating his offensive abilities in the minors, he might be limited to a bottom-six capacity if he draws into Minnesota's lineup.

Wild's Jared Spurgeon: Shifts to IR
Spurgeon (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Sunday.
Minnesota also recalled forward Hunter Haight and defenseman Carson Lambos from AHL Iowa on Sunday. Spurgeon has missed the last two games, and there is no timeline for his return. He has earned one goal, four assists, seven shots on net, 14 blocked shots and five hits in six appearances this season.

Wild's Ryder Ritchie: Nets both goals in BU win
Ritchie scored twice in Boston University's 2-1 win over the University of Vermont on Saturday.
Ritchie is on the board for the first time in three games this season. The winger was alright last year with 17 points across 36 outings as a freshman. The Wild prospect is a skilled forward, but it'll be important for him to be a leader on offense for the remainder of his collegiate career.

Wild's Olli Maatta: Slated to sit Sunday
Maatta (upper body) isn't expected to play against Columbus on Sunday, per Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News.
Maatta didn't participate in Saturday's practice and is poised to miss his second straight game. He has contributed two assists, three shots on goal and nine blocked shots in six appearances this season.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Facing Blue Jackets on Sunday
Wallstedt will protect the home net against Columbus on Sunday, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports.
Wallstedt has allowed only seven goals on 79 shots during his three-game winning streak. He has a 5-1-1 record this campaign and has stopped 173 of 188 shots. Columbus (2-3-0) is tied for 17th in the league with 3.00 goals per game this season. The Blue Jackets host the Rangers on Saturday before heading to Minnesota for Sunday's contest.

Wild's Kirill Kaprizov: Poised to play Sunday
Kaprizov (undisclosed) is expected to play against Columbus on Sunday, per Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News.
After leaving Thursday's 5-4 win over St. Louis to be evaluated for a potential injury, Kaprizov is fine. He missed Saturday's practice because of an illness, but he is expected to play against the Blue Jackets on Sunday. Kaprizov has nine goals, 14 points and 25 shots on net in eight appearances this season.

Wild's Carson Lambos: Sent back down
Lambos was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Friday.
Lambos was called up by Minnesota on Thursday, but he didn't appear in the team's 5-4 victory over the Blues. He'll head back to the minors a day later and should continue to see more consistent opportunities for playing time with the AHL club.

Wild's Yakov Trenin: Slides assist Thursday
Trenin contributed an assist and seven hits in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Blues.
This was Trenin's first point of the campaign. The 29-year-old is a mainstay in the Wild's bottom six, offering elite physicality and a little depth scoring. He's already amassed 36 hits in eight games this year while adding 10 shots on net and a minus-3 rating. Trenin's highest fantasy value is in banger leagues.

Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Sends two assists
Eriksson Ek notched two assists, including one on the power play, and added three shots on net and four hits in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Blues.
This was the first multi-point effort of the season for Eriksson Ek. The 29-year center has earned four points over his last four games, coinciding with a move to the top line. He's at one goal, four assists, 23 shots on net, 12 hits, four blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over eight appearances. While he's a few rungs below elite, Eriksson Ek offers well-rounded production for fantasy when he's at his best.

Wild's Quinn Hughes: Dishes pair of helpers
Hughes notched two assists, including one on the power play, and added five shots on net in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Blues.
Hughes has stretched his season-opening point streak to eight games. He's alternated multi-point efforts in that span, racking up two goals and 10 assists so far, including five power-play points. The defenseman also has 24 shots on net, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. While both Jared Spurgeon (upper body) and Brock Faber (skull) are out, Hughes will see even more premium time in scoring situations.
