23 Gustav Olofsson D

Wild's Gustav Olofsson: Healthy ahead of playoffs

Olofsson missed the final five games of the regular season due to a concussion, so it's good to see the 23-year-old blueliner back to 100 percent ahead of postseason play. He isn't listed in the projected lineup for Wednesday's contest, but if Jared Spurgeon (hamstring) is unable to go, Olofsson could be called into action against the Jets.

Wild's Gustav Olofsson: Won't dress for season finale

Olofsson made the trip to San Jose for Saturday's contest, which indicates he's likely nearing a return to action, but there's no reason for him to suit up for a meaningless game ahead of postseason play. Minnesota should release another update on the 23-year-old blueliner's status ahead of Game 1 of their first-round playoff series against Winnipeg.

Wild's Gustav Olofsson: Set to rejoin team in San Jose

Olofsson didn't make the trip to Los Angeles for the first of the two-game west coast swing to close out the regular season, but the news that he's traveling to San Jose bodes well for his chances of getting a game in before the postseason. Even if he doesn't play Saturday, it sounds as though the blueliner will have a good chance at being ready for the postseason.

Wild's Gustav Olofsson: Not traveling with team

That means Olofsson won't play against the Oilers on Monday or the Ducks on Wednesday. However, the Swede could potentially return Thursday against the Kings, although even that feels unlikely. Since the 23-year-old only has eight points -- all assists -- this season, fantasy owners should probably not be too concerned.

Wild's Gustav Olofsson: Suffering from concussion

Olofsson sustained the injury during Thursday's game against the Stars and will need to clear concussion protocol before he's able to rejoin the lineup again. Given the limited time remaining in the regular season, the team will likely opt to take precautions with the blueliner to ensure his health for a potential postseason run.
