Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Starting in Columbus

Wallstedt will serve as the starting netminder for Thursday's road game against Columbus, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Wallstedt has been effective this season, but he's started just once in the Wild's last five games. He'll return to the crease Thursday and is in the midst of a strong run in which he's gone 8-1-0 with a 1.43 GAA and .957 save percentage over his last nine starts.
