Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Tagged with OT loss
Wallstedt stopped 19 of 25 shots in Sunday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Sharks.
Wallstedt was beaten twice in the first period, twice more in the second frame, again in the final period and once more in overtime. Wallstedt is firmly entrenched as Filip Gustavsson's backup, and his performances haven't shown he's ready to embrace a bigger role between the pipes any time soon. Through three starts, Wallstedt has gone 1-0-2 with a 3.46 GAA and an .863 save percentage.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Starting Sunday

Wallstedt will get the second half of Minnesota's back-to-back after Filip Gustavsson played in Saturday's 6-2 loss to Utah.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Sharp despite defeat
Wallstedt stopped 19 of the 21 shots he faced during Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Flyers.
Wallstedt was sharp in his second start of the season. He faced just 21 shots from the Flyers, but many of them were high-quality chances, and he was up for the task almost every time. The 22-year-old continues to be the Wild's second goaltender behind starter Filip Gustavsson. Wallstedt has allowed five goals on 55 shots through two outings.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Tending twine Saturday
Wallstedt will protect the road net in Saturday's game versus the Flyers, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
Wallstedt will handle the second half of a back-to-back after Filip Gustavsson started in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Capitals. In his season debut against the Kings, Wallstedt stopped 31 of 34 shots to pick up a shootout win. The 22-year-old has handled a backup role so far in 2025-26.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Allows three goals in season debut
Wallstedt stopped 31 of 34 shots in Monday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kings.
Wallstedt was beaten three times in the final frame, including allowing the equalizer with 46 seconds left in regulation. However, Wallstedt came through in the clutch during the shootout and stopped all four shots to eventually carry the Wild to victory. This was Wallstedt's first start of the campaign, but he should revert to this regular backup role when the Wild take on the Stars on Tuesday in the second leg of a back-to-back set, with Filip Gustavsson likely to start that contest.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Guarding cage versus Kings
Wallstedt will patrol the crease for Monday's home game against Los Angeles, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
Wallstedt will take the first game of the Wild's back-to-back, which means Filip Gustavsson should get the nod on the road versus Dallas on Tuesday. It will be the season debut for the 22-year-old Wallstedt. Last season, the Swede appeared in just two regular-season games for Minnesota, going 0-2-0 with a 4.10 GAA. Even as the No. 2 option for the Wild, Wallstedt should see significantly more opportunities in 2025-26.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Set to start versus Winnipeg
Wallstedt will guard the home crease during Tuesday's preseason contest against the Jets, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
Wallstedt will play the entirety of Tuesday's game, while Cal Petersen will be the backup. This will be the 22-year-old Wallstedt's third appearance of the preseason, as he has turned aside a combined 33 of 35 shots in his prior two outings. If he continues his strong showing in exhibition play Tuesday, Wallstedt has a good chance at earning the No. 2 gig behind Filip Gustavsson for the 2025-26 campaign.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Playing two periods Thursday
Wallstedt will patrol the home crease versus Dallas on Thursday and play two periods, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic.
Wallstedt is attempting to garner the backup goaltender position in Minnesota, behind first-stringer Filip Gustavsson. Wallstedt was considered the Wild's goaltender of the future heading into last season, but poor play in the 2024-25 campaign in which he was 0-2-0 while allowing eight goals on only 51 shots with Minnesota and a 9-14-4 mark with AHL Iowa, really hurt his value. Wallstedt will battle Cal Petersen for backup duty with the Wild heading into the regular season.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Called up from minors
Wallstedt was recalled from AHL Iowa on Friday.
Wallstedt struggled at the NHL level early in the season, going 0-2-0, allowing eight goals on 51 shots (.843 save percentage). The 22-year-old, who is considered the Wild's goaltender of the future, went 9-14-4 with a 3.59 GAA and an .879 save percentage across 27 AHL appearances. He will be the third goaltender as Filip Gustavsson will start with Marc-Andre Fleury as his backup, barring any injuries, through the playoffs.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Suffers OT loss
Wallstedt (undisclosed) gave up two goals on 32 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout defeat to AHL Texas.
Wallstedt was back in action for the first time since suffering his undisclosed injury back in late December. With the 22-year-old youngster fit again, he should be available if needed by Minnesota -- though it would likely take an injury to Filip Gustavsson or Marc-Andre Fleury for Wallstedt to be promoted to the NHL roster.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Dealing with undisclosed injury
Wallstedt has missed the last five games for AHL Iowa due to an undisclosed injury, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports Thursday.
Wallstedt's injury normally wouldn't have been a big deal for Minnesota fans but with Marc-Andre Fleury (illness) questionable against the Avalanche on Thursday, the team may have to use an emergency backup goalie as the No. 2 option behind Filip Gustavsson due to a lack of viable options. Considering the organization decided to sign Dylan Ferguson to a two-way deal Tuesday, fantasy managers probably shouldn't be expecting Wallstedt's absence to be a short-term issue.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Reassigned to Iowa
Wallstedt was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Sunday.
Wallstedt struggled in his start Saturday against the Jets, allowing five goals on 24 shots in a 5-0 defeat. With Filip Gustavsson (lower body) expected to be back Monday, Wallstedt will return to the AHL where he's gone 5-6-1 with an .874 save percentage this season.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Gets no help in loss
Wallstedt stopped 19 of 24 shots in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Jets.
Wallstedt has lost both of his NHL appearances this season. He's given up eight goals on 51 shots. The Wild didn't do him any favors Saturday, failing to score on their 19 shots against Connor Hellebuyck in the contest. Wallstedt continues to serve as backup to Marc-Andre Fleury while Filip Gustavsson (lower body) is on the mend. The Wild have one more game before the holiday break, Monday at home versus the Blackhawks, so it's unclear when Wallstedt might see his next action.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Getting start Saturday
Wallstedt will start Saturday's road game in Winnipeg, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Marc-Andre Fleury took a narrow 2-1 loss to Utah on Friday, so Wallstedt will work the second half of a back-to-back. In his season debut last Sunday, Wallstedt stopped 24 of 27 shots in a 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights. He's also struggled in the AHL, but the Wild will continue to give the top prospect some looks until Filip Gustavsson (lower body) can play again.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Tastes defeat in first start
Wallstedt gave up three goals on 27 shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Victor Olofsson tallied twice and Shea Theodore had the other goal to send Wallstedt to the loss in his NHL season debut. Wallstedt was called up after Saturday's game versus the Flyers because Filip Gustavsson (lower body) is dealing with an injury. Wallstedt is considered a top goalie prospect, but he has struggled at the AHL level this year, so he likely still needs more development time, which he should get once Gustavsson is back to 100 percent.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Starting against Vegas
Wallstedt will patrol the home crease versus the Golden Knights on Sunday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Wallstedt has a 5-6-1 record with a 3.77 GAA and an .874 save percentage in 12 AHL appearances this season. The 22-year-old Wallstedt will get the second half of Minnesota's back-to-back because Filip Gustavsson (undisclosed) is unavailable, and Marc-Andre Fleury played in Saturday's 4-1 win over Philadelphia. Vegas ranks fifth in the league with 3.47 goals per game in 2024-25 and lost 6-3 to Edmonton on Saturday.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Receives emergency call-up
Wallstedt was called up from AHL Iowa on Saturday under emergency conditions.
Wallstedt's emergency recall indicates there may be some concern with one of Filip Gustavsson or Marc-Andre Fleury, but nothing has been reported. Jakub Lauko (lower body) was placed on injured reserve to clear a roster spot. Wallstedt has not played in the NHL in 2024-25 and has struggled to a 3.77 GAA and an .874 save percentage over 12 outings with Iowa this season.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Returns to AHL
Wallstedt was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Wednesday.
Wallstedt was recalled Tuesday and returned to the minors after being a healthy scratch in Minnesota's 3-2 overtime win against Vancouver. His brief stint in the NHL might have just been for developmental purposes to give him a chance to work with the big club, especially because Iowa is off until Saturday anyway. The 22-year-old has a 4.34 GAA and an .860 save percentage in 10 outings with Iowa in 2024-25.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Called up from minors
Wallstedt was promoted from AHL Iowa on Tuesday.
Wallstedt hasn't been exactly dominating in the minors, posting a 3-6-1 record and 4.34 GAA in 10 outings for the club. Iowa is off until Saturday's clash with AHL Milwaukee, so the netminder may just be up with the big club to get the opportunity to work with the team's goalie coach and get some reps with the Wilds as a way to boost his confidence. Still, fantasy players probably should monitor the status of Filip Gustavsson and Marc-Andre Fleury ahead of puck drop against the Canucks on Tuesday.
