Wild's Frederick Gaudreau: Posts assist Monday
Gaudreau recorded an assist and went plus-3 in Monday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.
Gaudreau helped out on a Jake Middleton tally in the first period. The Wild's third line contributed on all three goals, a rarity for a team that tends to lean heavily on its top players with few depth-scoring contributions. This helper ended a four-game slump for Gaudreau, who now has 18 points, 62 shots on net, 29 blocked shots, 25 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 47 appearances.

Wild's Brendan Gaunce: Relegated to minors
Gaunce was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Tuesday.
Gaunce being sent to the minors could be an indication that one of Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) or Marcus Johansson (concussion) is ready to return to the lineup. Minnesota's next game is at home Thursday versus Utah. Gaunce has not found the scoresheet through five contests with the Wild this season.

Wild's Liam Ohgren: Records two assists vs. Colorado
Ohgren recorded two assists, three shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in 9:04 of ice time during Monday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.
Ohgren posted a minus-4 rating Saturday against Nashville in his return to NHL action, but he was much more effective Monday while getting on the scoresheet for the first time in 10 NHL appearances this year. The 20-year-old recorded his first helper on a first-period tally by Jake Middleton and also helped out on the game-winning goal by Yakov Trenin in the third period. Despite his solid performance against Colorado, it wouldn't be surprising to see Ohgren lose his spot on the NHL roster once the Wild get closer to full health.

Wild's Brock Faber: Records goal Monday
Faber recorded a goal on three shots along with a blocked shot in 28:17 of ice time during Monday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.
Faber made just his second appearance since a four-game absence due to an upper-body injury, and his playing time hasn't seemed to be monitored since returning to action. He scored his first goal since the start of the calendar year Monday, as his last goal came against Dallas on Dec. 27. Now that he appears to be back to full health, Faber should continue to see plenty of playing time for Minnesota.

Wild's Yakov Trenin: Finds twine in win
Trenin recorded the game-winning goal on two shots while also recording three hits in 10:37 of ice time during Monday's 3-1 win over Colorado.
Trenin had recorded a minus-3 rating over his two appearances leading up to Monday's matchup, but he was more effective against the Avalanche and got on the scoresheet for just the third time over his last 12 outings. The 28-year-old has appeared in each of the Wild's 13 matchups following a five-game absence due to an upper-body injury, and he's racked up multiple hits in 11 of those appearances.

Wild's Jake Middleton: Two points in victory
Middleton recorded a goal, an assist, two shots on net and four blocked shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.
Middleton was held without a point over his last five appearances, but he bounced back with a multi-point performance Monday, his second over seven outings since returning from a hand injury. The 29-year-old has had spotty production this season, but he's still on pace to surpass his offensive numbers from the 2023-24 campaign, as he's logged seven goals and 10 assists while averaging 21:07 of ice time over 36 contests in the 2024-25 season.

Wild's Marc-Andre Fleury: Allows one goal in win
Fleury turned aside 26 of 27 shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.
Although Filip Gustavsson (illness) was available as a backup Monday, Fleury drew a second consecutive start and turned things around after he allowed five goals on 37 shots (.865 save percentage) in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Predators. Fleury has now picked up wins in four of his last five outings and has seen more time between the pipes recently. The Wild will have a few days off before facing Utah at home Thursday.

Wild's Marc-Andre Fleury: Starting in Colorado
Fleury will defend the road net versus the Avalanche on Monday, according to Joe Smith of The Athletic.
Fleury allowed five goals on 37 shots in Saturday's loss to Nashville. Following a one-game absence, Filip Gustavsson (illness) will return to the lineup in the backup role. The Wild will wait a little longer before getting Gustavsson back between the pipes because he hasn't skated in a few days. Fleury has a 9-4-1 record with a 2.72 GAA and a .906 save percentage in 15 appearances this season. Colorado sits fifth in the league with 3.36 goals per game in 2024-25.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Available for Monday
Gustavsson (illness) is expected to return to the lineup in Monday's road game versus Colorado, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
Due to Gustavsson's absence, Dylan Ferguson was Marc-Andre Fleury's backup in Saturday's 6-2 loss to Nashville. Ferguson returned to AHL Iowa on Sunday. Gustavsson was going to start Monday's matchup initially, but it's unclear if his illness changed those plans. He has posted a record of 18-9-3 with a 2.58 GAA and a .914 save percentage across 31 appearances this season.

Wild's Dylan Ferguson: Returns to AHL
Ferguson was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Sunday.
Minnesota recalled Ferguson on an emergency basis to occupy the backup role behind Marc-Andre Fleury in Saturday's 6-2 loss to Nashville. Ferguson's demotion to the minors likely bodes well for the availability of Filip Gustavsson (illness) ahead of Monday's road matchup versus Colorado. Gustavsson could still make his scheduled start versus the Avalanche.

Wild's Marco Rossi: Generates helper Saturday
Rossi provided an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Predators.
Rossi helped out on a David Jiricek tally in the first period. Over eight contests in January, Rossi has racked up three goals and five assists while playing in a top-line role. The 23-year-old center has matched his 82-game point total from last year with 40 points through 46 outings in 2024-25. He's added 87 shots on net and a plus-15 rating, offering steady offensive metrics in his second full campaign.

Wild's Mats Zuccarello: Logs power-play helper
Zuccarello posted a power-play assist and two hits in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Predators.
This is the first time Zuccarello has logged exactly one point in a game in January -- he opened the month with four multi-point efforts and three scoreless outings over seven contests. The 37-year-old winger hasn't been able to string together any significant streaks, as his longest one was four games in October. Still, he has 11 goals, 22 helpers, 67 shots on net and a plus-7 rating over 33 appearances in a top-six role.

Wild's David Jiricek: Gets first goal of season
Jiricek scored a goal and added two hits in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Predators.
The goal was Jiricek's first point over five games as a member of the Wild. The team has sheltered the 21-year-old defenseman even with the organization's defensive depth being heavily tested with three top-four blueliners injured currently. Jiricek has two points, eight shots on net, 12 hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 11 appearances between Minnesota and Columbus this season.

Wild's Matt Boldy: Earns two points in loss
Boldy scored a power-play goal on six shots, added an assist and logged two PIM in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Predators.
Boldy earned his fourth multi-point effort over the last seven games. In that span, the star winger has five goals and four assists. The 23-year-old is up to 18 goals, 41 points (12 on the power play), 161 shots on net, 35 PIM and a plus-3 rating across 46 appearances. Boldy has been excellent in the absence of Kirill Kaprizov (lower body), though Boldy has also held his own when on the second line when the Wild are closer to full strength.

Wild's Marc-Andre Fleury: Struggles in Saturday's loss
Fleury allowed five goals on 37 shots in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Predators. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.
Fleury had one of his worst performances of the season. He allowed more goals in Saturday's contest than in his first three games in January combined. The 40-year-old netminder slipped to 9-4-1 with a 2.72 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 15 games. Filip Gustavsson (illness) was unavailable to play Saturday but was penciled in to start Monday's road game against the Avalanche. If Gustavsson can't play in that contest, Fleury would likely get the nod again.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Shifts to IR
Brodin (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
Minnesota converted David Jiricek's emergency recall to a regular recall in a corresponding move. Brodin has missed the last four games and won't play during Minnesota's two-game road trip, which begins Saturday versus Nashville. He has accounted for four goals, 16 points, 54 shots on net and 67 blocked shots through 31 appearances this season.

Gustavsson will miss Saturday's game in Nashville due to an illness, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Marc-Andre Fleury is getting the start in goal Saturday, and Dylan Ferguson will back him up with Gustavsson out of action. Gustavsson could return as early as Monday when the Wild are in Colorado. Gustavsson is 18-9-3 with three shutouts, a 2.58 GAA and a .914 save percentage this season.
