Kiersted registered an assist, five shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.
Kiersted could have a path to playing time after the Wild lost Daemon Hunt on waivers to the Predators. Through four games on the Wild's third pairing, Kiersted has one helper, eight shots on net, five blocked shots and a plus-5 rating. He'll battle with David Spacek for playing time in the absence of Brock Faber (skull).
