Wild's Brock Faber: Stays hot with shortie
Faber scored a shorthanded goal on four shots, doled out two hits and added two blocked shots in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Jets.
Faber has two goals and two assists over his last three contests, following a four-game slump. The defenseman won't be among the league leaders for offense from the blue line, but he's providing steady play in a top-four role this season. Overall, he has five goals, 13 points, 52 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 23 appearances.

Wild's Vinnie Hinostroza: Placed on injured reserve
Hinostroza (lower body) was designated for injured reserve Monday.
Hinostroza was previously deemed week-to-week, so his placement on IR shouldn't come as a surprise. The veteran winger becomes the fourth forward on IR for the Wild right now, joining Ryan Hartman, Marco Rossi and Vladimir Tarasenko, all of whom are also dealing with lower-body problems. All the injuries will see Danila Yurov and Yakov Trenin taking on bigger roles.

Wild's Danila Yurov: Scores against Winnipeg
Yurov scored a goal in Sunday's 3-0 victory over the Jets.
Yurov scored his third goal of the season with a snap shot at the 8:23 mark of the second period. The playmaker has been skating on the first line of late and has been productive in recent games, collecting four points (one goal, three assists) over his last four appearances. He should remain a player to keep close tabs on as long as he remains in a top-six role, although he's holding that spot due to the absences of Marco Rossi and Ryan Hartman due to lower-body injuries.

Wild's Kirill Kaprizov: Nets goal Sunday
Kaprizov scored a goal and took three shots in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Jets.
Kaprizov continues to produce every time he gets the chance. The star winger has found the back of the net in three of his last four games while also collecting at least one point in each of those contests. Kaprizov has 11 points (six goals, five assists) across his previous 10 games in November.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Another shutout
Wallstedt posted a 32-save shutout in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Jets.
Wallstedt has been absolutely dominant between the posts of late. This was his third shutout across his last four starts, as he also achieved this feat against the Ducks (Nov. 15) and Flames (Nov. 9), recording 28 and 36 saves in those games, respectively. The 23-year-old netminder has won each of his last five starts, posting a 0.99 GAA and an outstanding, yet unsustainable, .970 save percentage over that stretch.

Wild's Vinnie Hinostroza: Deemed week-to-week
Head coach John Hynes said Sunday that Hinostroza is week-to-week due to a lower-body injury, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
Hinostroza was hurt in Friday's 5-0 win over Pittsburgh. The 31-year-old will now miss some time as a result, which means Tyler Pitlick could see more regular playing time in the short term. Hinostroza has accounted for two goals, three helpers and a minus-5 rating across 22 games this campaign.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Starting Sunday
Wallstedt will get the start Sunday against the Jets, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.
Wallstedt's strong recent play has earned him a more prominent role in Minnesota's goalie rotation. After playing only three of the first 15 games, he's now making his fifth start in the team's past eight games. The 23-year-old is the NHL's leader in both GAA (2.20) and save percentage (.926). He'll be tested against a Jets team that scores 3.30 goals per game, just outside the league's top five.

Wild's Brock Faber: Collects two assists
Faber logged two assists and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 5-0 win over the Penguins.
Faber has three points and a plus-4 rating over his last two games. After a slow start to the year, Faber has four multi-point efforts over his last 13 contests, a span that includes all 12 of his points this season. The 23-year-old defenseman has added 48 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 22 appearances.

Wild's Marcus Johansson: Lights lamp Friday
Johansson scored a goal and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-0 win over the Penguins.
Johansson continues to offer steady offense with two goals and an assist over his last four games. The 35-year-old has seen a slight dip in productivity now that Mats Zuccarello is healthy. Johansson is still at eight goals, 10 assists, 33 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 22 contests, putting him over halfway to matching his 34-point effort from 72 regular-season outings a year ago.

Wild's Kirill Kaprizov: Racks up two points
Kaprizov recorded a goal, an assist and a plus-2 rating in Friday's win over the Penguins.
Kaprizov found the back of the net at the 1:09 mark of the second period with a tip-in before assisting on Matt Boldy's second goal in the same frame. Kaprizov has 12 goals and 14 assists this season, establishing himself as one of the most dangerous wingers in the league after putting up 56 points in 41 regular-season games in 2024-25. It's still early in the campaign, but if Kaprizov stays healthy and productive, he could flirt with the 100-point mark.

Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Scores, assists in win
Eriksson Ek delivered a power-play goal and an even-strength assist in Friday's 5-0 win over the Penguins.
Eriksson Ek has cracked the scoresheet in four of the Wild's last six games, and this was the second time he recorded a multi-point performance in that span. The 28-year-old winger has 15 points (four goals, 11 assists) in 22 games this season, and he looks to be on pace to surpass the numbers he posted in 2024-25, when he had 29 points across 46 regular-season contests.

Wild's Matt Boldy: Three points vs. Pittsburgh
Boldy recorded two even-strength goals and a power-play assist in Friday's 5-0 win over the Penguins.
Boldy's three-point effort extended his streak to six games with at least one point. The prolific winger has 10 points (six goals, four assists) in that stretch while also adding 22 shots, four hits, six blocked shots and an impressive plus-7 rating.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Posts 19-save shutout
Gustavsson posted a 19-save shutout in Friday's 5-0 win over the Penguins.
Gustavsson has earned wins while posting a save percentage of at least .920 in his last two outings. The 27-year-old seems to be turning things around after a couple of subpar showings in recent weeks. Gustavsson has a .921 save percentage while going 4-1-1 in six November appearances.

Wild's Adam Benak: Pots two in Brantford's win
Benak scored twice in OHL Brantford's 7-2 win over Sarnia on Friday.
Benak has four goals and seven points over his last three games, and he's posted five multi-point efforts over nine outings in November. He's up to 13 goals and 25 assists over 21 appearances this season while continuing to play a leading role in Brantford's offense.

Wild's Vinnie Hinostroza: Will miss time
Hinostroza sustained a serious undisclosed injury in Friday's game versus the Penguins and will miss time, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Hinostroza was hauled down during the second period and landed awkwardly, resulting in the injury. He will return to Minnesota for further evaluation, effectively ruling him out of the Wild's next two games at a minimum. That said, head coach John Hynes' update after Friday's contest suggests Hinostroza's absence could be much longer.

Wild's Nico Sturm: Activated off injured reserve
Sturm (back) was activated off injured reserve Friday.
Sturm missed the first month and a half of the 2025-26 campaign due to a back injury, but his season debut is imminent. Although he'll officially be available to suit up for Friday's game in Pittsburgh, a previous report from Michael Russo of The Athletic suggested that Sturm would practice Saturday before potentially returning to game action, so it seems as though the 30-year-old could spend at least one more matchup on the shelf. Sturm made 62 regular-season appearances between San Jose and Florida last year, recording seven goals, seven assists, 107 hits, 34 blocked shots and 20 PIM while averaging 10:25 of ice time. He'll likely handle a bottom-six role once he suits up for Minnesota.

Wild's David Jiricek: Back in AHL
Jiricek was demoted to AHL Iowa on Friday.
Jiricek was a healthy scratch in each of the Wild's last three games. The defenseman was held off the scoresheet in all 12 NHL appearances this season. Jiricek was selected sixth overall by Columbus in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft and was traded to the Wild last season. Minnesota activated Zach Bogosian (lower body) off injured reserve in a corresponding move.
