The young netminder entered the contest after winning his last two starts, but this outing matched his season-worst goals-allowed total. Despite the disappointing result, his role in a competitive Wild squad should continue to provide fantasy opportunities, although his save efficiency remains important to monitor. He's enjoying a strong start to the season even if he has the occasional down performance, going 8-2-3 with a 2.14 GAA and a strong .916 save percentage in 13 starts.

Wallstedt stopped 23 of 24 shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.
Wallstedt was able to cruise after the Wild's three-goal second period gave him plenty of support. He had lost his first two appearances of this road trip, but he's back on track now. The 23-year-old netminder is 7-2-2 with a 2.08 GAA and a .918 save percentage through 11 outings this season. Wallstedt has provided the Wild with elite goaltending in the absence of Filip Gustavsson, and it's tough to envision the former losing much playing time when the latter returns. Wallstedt will likely get a well-earned break Sunday against the Canucks, which is slated to be a Calvin Pickard start. Expect Wallstedt back between the pipes Tuesday in Utah to close out the road trip.

Wallstedt stopped 20 of 22 shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Flames.
Both of Calgary's goals came on the power play. This wasn't a terrible outing for Wallstedt, but given the opponent, expectations were higher. He dropped to 6-2-2 with a 2.19 GAA and a .915 save percentage through 10 starts this season. Wallstedt continues to handle a heavy workload ahead of Calvin Pickard while the Wild wait for Filip Gustavsson (hip) to get to full health. Up next is a back-to-back with stops in Seattle on Saturday and in Vancouver on Sunday. Expect Wallstedt and Pickard to split those games, with Minnesota the likely favorite in each one.

The 23-year-old Swedish netminder has suffered just one defeat in regulation this season, going 6-1-2 with a 2.20 GAA and a .915 save percentage in nine appearances.
