Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Moves to injured reserve
Gustavsson (hip) was placed on injured reserve Monday, according to Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News.
Gustavsson is expected to be out until at least early November. He posted a 28-15-6 record with two shutouts, a 2.69 GAA and a .903 save percentage in 50 appearances for Minnesota during the 2025-26 regular season. Once he returns, Gustavsson will be in the mix for starts with Jesper Wallstedt.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Expected back in November
Gustavsson (hip) is expected to return around early November, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports Friday.
This is the first timeline that's been provided regarding Gustavsson's recovery. It also means he'll be missing about a month to begin the campaign. In Gustavsson's absence, expect Jesper Wallstedt to get a heavy workload while Calvin Pickard mixes in as the backup.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Still recovering from offseason surgery
Gustavsson is still recovering from his offseason hip surgery ahead of training camp, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Friday.
While Gustavsson's teammates have moved past their injuries from late in the 2025-26 campaign, the netminder is still recovering from the procedure he underwent early in the offseason. The 28-year-old's recovery timetable isn't yet clear, and whether he'll be available for preseason action or the start of the regular season remains to be seen. Gustavsson lost out on playing time to Jesper Wallstedt late in the 2025-26 season, and Wallstedt will presumably have increased opportunities to earn the No. 1 goaltending job if Gustavsson is sidelined during camp, while Calvin Pickard will be available as a depth option.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Set for offseason surgery
Gustavsson will undergo hip surgery in the offseason, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports Monday.
According to general manager Bill Guerin, Gustavsson's availability for the start of the 2026-27 season won't be known until after his procedure. On top of that concern for fantasy managers, the fact that the 27-year-old backstop was effectively benched for the postseason in favor of Jesper Wallstedt will raise questions about who is the No. 1 option heading into next season.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Takes loss in Game 2
Gustavsson stopped 18 of 22 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 2.
Gustavsson went into the playoffs cold, and that led to him watching from the bench for the first seven games of the postseason. He didn't make a great impression in this contest, which led to the Wild falling behind 2-0 in the series. Gustavsson went 28-15-6 with a 2.69 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 50 regular-season contests, so he can play better than he's shown lately, though his work at the Olympics may have added some fatigue. With both Gustavsson and Jesper Wallstedt coming off ugly losses, it's unclear who the Wild will turn to in Game 3 on home ice Saturday.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: In goal Tuesday
Gustavsson will get the starting nod for Game 2 on the road versus the Avalanche on Tuesday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Gustavsson will make his first appearance in the postseason, having watched Jesper Wallstedt feature in the last seven contests. For his part, the 27-year-old Gustavsson went 28-15-6 with a 2.69 GAA, .903 save percentage and four shutouts in 50 regular-season outings. At this point, Gustavsson's hold on the starting job should be considered tenuous at best.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Fades late in Monday's loss
Gustavsson turned aside 16 of 21 shots in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Blues, with St. Louis' final goal getting scored into an empty net.
The Wild grabbed a 3-1 lead early in the second period, but the game was all Blues the rest of the way. Gustavsson is struggling badly to close out the regular season -- he's given up at least four goals in four straight starts and five of his last six, stumbling to a 2-4-0 record, 4.25 GAA and .836 save percentage over that latter stretch. By contrast, Jesper Wallstedt hasn't given up four goals in an outing since late February, posting a 1.97 GAA and .927 save percentage over his last nine appearances. Minnesota coach John Hynes could have a tough choice to make between the pipes when the playoffs begin.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Between pipes against St. Louis
Gustavsson will start Monday's road game against St. Louis, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Gustavsson has been inconsistent over the past month, going 4-4-0 with a 3.54 GAA and .862 save percentage over his last eight starts. He's made a pair of starts against the Blues this year -- one at home and one on the road -- and he went 1-1-0 with just two goals allowed on 49 shots across those two games.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Beaten five times Thursday
Gustavsson stopped 15 of 20 shots in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Stars.
Gustavsson faltered in one of the biggest games of the season for the Wild, as he posted a .750 save percentage and couldn't help Minnesota sustain its 4-3 lead in the final period. Gustavsson is ending the regular season on a sour note, as he's posted a save percentage under the .850 threshold in four of his last five appearances, going 2-3-0 with a 4.08 GAA in that span. Jesper Wallstedt could be in line for more playing time down the stretch given Gustavsson's recent struggles.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: In goal Thursday
Gustavsson will get the starting nod on the road against the Stars on Thursday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Gustavsson has given up four or more goals in three of his last four outings but still managed a 2-2-0 record. In three previous matchups with Dallas, the Swedish netminder is 2-1-0 with a .915 save percentage and 1.99 GAA, ratios he'll need to maintain if the Wild are going to try to push for the No. 2 spot in the Central Division.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Hangs on for win
Gustavsson stopped 18 of 22 shots on net in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Red Wings.
Despite struggling in the third period, Gustavsson held on for Sunday's win to earn his seventh victory across his last 10 outings. Overall, the 27-year-old netminder is up to a 28-13-6 record, a 2.59 GAA and a .908 save percentage across 48 outings this season. He's been a big factor for the Wild's success this season and should continue to garner the majority of opportunities between the pipes during Minnesota's push for the second seed in the Central Division. Gustavsson holds strong value for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Starting in Detroit
Gustavsson will defend the road net against the Red Wings on Sunday, according to Joe Smith of The Athletic.
Gustavsson will get the second half of Minnesota's back-to-back after Jesper Wallstedt played in Saturday's 4-1 win over Ottawa. The 27-year-old Gustavsson has a 27-13-6 record this campaign with four shutouts, a 2.56 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 47 appearances. Detroit sits 21st in the league with 2.88 goals per game this season.
