Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Back in win column
Wallstedt made 18 saves in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Panthers.
The 23-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period, but goals by Matthew Tkachuk and Aaron Ekblad tied things up before Joel Eriksson Ek bailed Wallstedt out with five seconds left in regulation. It was Wallstedt's 15th win of the season but his first since Jan. 31, snapping a seven-outing stretch in which he'd gone 0-3-2 with a 2.90 GAA and .903 save percentage.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Set to start Thursday
Wallstedt will guard the visiting cage in Florida on Thursday, per Joe Smith of The Athletic.
Wallstedt is 14-8-6 with four shutouts, a 2.75 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 30 appearances this season. The rookie netminder will face the Panthers, who are 20th in league scoring, averaging 2.94 goals in 2025-26.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Decent showing in loss
Wallstedt stopped 24 of 26 shots on goal in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Blackhawks.
Despite allowing no goals in the final period of Thursday's contest, Wallstedt gave up one in each of the first two periods, which would be enough for Chicago to steal the win. Wallstedt now holds a 14-8-6 record, a 2.75 GAA and a .911 save percentage across 30 outings this season. Since the Olympic break, the rookie netminder has struggled to find the win column with a 0-3-2 record across his last seven appearances. His record doesn't tell the full story, however, as he's maintained a .903 save percentage during that span. Wallstedt holds solid fantasy value for the remainder of the regular season.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Between pipes Thursday
Wallstedt will tend the twine at home against the Blackhawks on Thursday, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
Wallstedt hasn't secured a victory in six straight appearances, though some of those were brief relief outings. Still, the backup netminder is 0-2-2 over that stretch with a 3.09 GAA. While Wallstedt should get some opportunities in the stretch run, he is firmly cemented behind Filip Gustavsson as the No. 2 option in Minnesota.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Needed in relief Tuesday
Wallstedt stopped both shots he faced in relief of Filip Gustavsson during Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over Chicago.
Gustavsson left the ice for a little over three minutes during the third period due to an equipment issue, and Wallstedt held down the fort until he returned. Wallstedt hasn't won a game since Jan. 31 and has fallen behind Gustavsson in the pecking order for the Wild. However, the 23-year-old Wallstedt has a 2.20 GAA and .922 save percentage over four outings in March despite a record of 0-1-2.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Loses to Toronto
Wallstedt stopped 22 of 25 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Wallstedt is winless in his last five appearances, giving up 13 goals on 127 shots in that span. While he isn't playing poorly, he hasn't been good enough to get results, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Filip Gustavsson get a heavier workload down the stretch. Wallstedt is now 14-7-6 with a 2.78 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 28 appearances this season.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Set to start Sunday
Wallstedt is expected to feature in the crease for Sunday's home clash with Toronto, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
Wallstedt will get the nod Sunday after Filip Gustavsson goes against the Rangers at home Saturday. The 23-year-old Wallstedt is currently mired in a three-game losing streak during which he has posted a 0-1-2 record, 2.85 GAA and .910 save percentage.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Starting Thursday
Wallstedt will patrol the home crease versus Philadelphia on Thursday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Wallstedt will make his second start in the last three games, after giving up two goals on 36 shots in a 3-2 shootout loss in Colorado on Sunday. Wallstedt is 14-6-5 with four shutouts, a 2.81 GAA and a .911 save percentage across 26 contests this season. The Flyers are 25th in NHL scoring, producing 2.81 goals per game.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Falls to Avs in shootout
Wallstedt stopped 34 of 36 shots in regulation and overtime and two of four shootout attempts in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Colorado.
The young netminder came up with a number of big stops, but he couldn't deny Nathan MacKinnon in the fourth round of the shootout. Wallstedt has begun to find his form again while working as Filip Gustavsson's backup, allowing three goals or fewer in three of his last four starts dating back to Jan. 27. However, since the calendar flipped to 2026, Wallstedt has gone 3-4-2 in 10 outings with a 3.92 GAA and an .882 save percentage.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: In goal Sunday
Wallstedt will start Sunday's game against the Avalanche, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Wallstedt is getting the net after sitting in favor of Filip Gustavsson for the Wild's last three contests. That's the longest stretch in which Wallstedt hasn't played since early November. He'll check back in for a daunting matchup against the league-leading Avalanche, who have won four straight games. The 23-year-old has a 14-6-4 record with a 2.86 GAA and a .910 save percentage on the year.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Struggles versus Mammoth
Wallstedt allowed five goals on 37 shots in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Mammoth.
Wallstedt gave up the first three goals of the game, and that was too big a deficit for the Wild to overcome. The 23-year-old has allowed 27 goals on 195 shots over his last seven outings (six starts), so the Wild's defense hasn't exactly been limiting the shots he faces. For the season, he's 14-6-4 with a 2.86 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 25 appearances. Assuming Filip Gustavsson is feeling close to 100 percent after a recent illness, Wallstedt is likely to be back on the bench for Sunday's game versus the Blues.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Set to start Friday
Wallstedt will guard the road goal versus the Mammoth on Friday, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
Wallstedt will get the second half of a back-to-back. He was pressed into duty late in Thursday's win over the Avalanche after Filip Gustavsson (illness) was unable to finish the contest. Gustavsson is feeling well enough to back up, so the Wild should be able to establish some kind of rotation to keep Wallstedt playing regularly moving forward.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Allows goal in mop-up duty
Wallstedt gave up a goal on two shots in relief of Filip Gustavsson (illness) in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.
Luckily for Wallstedt, that mop-up duty was just metaphorical -- Gustavsson became ill in the crease late in the third period. Wallstedt gave up a goal while coming in cold, but that won't be held against him. The 23-year-old will likely get the nod for Friday's game in Utah, though it's unclear if Gustavsson will be feeling well enough to back up for that contest.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Won't play Wednesday
Wallstedt (illness) won't be in the lineup for Team Sweden's game against Italy on Wednesday at the 2026 Winter Olympics, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Wallstedt missed Minnesota's 6-5 overtime win over Nashville last Wednesday. However, he was available for Sweden for the start of the Olympics, according to Bill Price of NHL.com. Wallstedt has a 14-5-4 record, 2.72 GAA and .913 save percentage in 23 outings with the Wild in 2025-26. Filip Gustavsson is set to start for Sweden on Wednesday.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Didn't travel with team
Wallstedt (illness) is not with the team ahead of Wednesday's road matchup with Nashville, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
Wallstedt will have some extra time to return to full health before joining Team Sweden at the 2026 Winter Olympics. The Tre Kronor could use fellow Wild netminder Filip Gustavsson against Italy next Wednesday. However, Wallstedt has put himself in a good position to see minutes at some point during the tournament.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Under the weather
Wallstedt is dealing with an illness and is unlikely to dress against the Canadiens on Monday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Wallstedt has given up three or more goals in each of his last five contests, posting a 2-3-0 record and 4.44 GAA. The 23-year-old backstop may not have featured in Monday's game anyway, so it's unlikely he is missing a start. Filip Gustavsson will get the nod versus the Habs while Cal Petersen could be called up from the minors to serve as the backup.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Steps up in win
Wallstedt stopped 39 of 42 shots in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Oilers.
Wallstedt picked up his second win in a row. The Wild gave him plenty of support, though the Oilers didn't back down with 42 shots, the most Wallstedt has faced in any game since Nov. 19 versus the Hurricanes. The netminder is 3-1-0 this season when facing 40-plus shots. He's 14-5-4 overall with a 2.72 GAA and a .913 save percentage across 23 appearances. The Wild have two games left before the Olympic break -- Monday at home versus the Canadiens and Wednesday on the road in Nashville. It wouldn't be surprising to see Filip Gustavsson and Wallstedt split those starts.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Set to face Edmonton
Wallstedt is set to start on the road against Edmonton on Saturday, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.
Wallstedt stopped 29 of 32 shots in a 4-3 shootout win over Chicago in his last start Tuesday. He's 13-5-4 with a 2.71 GAA and a .912 save percentage in 22 outings in 2025-26. Edmonton has won its past three games while accumulating a staggering 17 goals in that span.
