Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Starting against Toronto
Wallstedt will start Thursday's road game against Toronto, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Wallstedt has been sharp during his current four-game winning streak, posting a 1.25 GAA and .952 save percentage during that time, and he'll be rewarded with a second consecutive start Thursday. The Maple Leafs have logged 3.35 goals per game to begin the regular season, which ranks 12th in the NHL.

Wild's Bobby Brink: Opens scoring Tuesday
Brink scored a goal on five shots in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Canadiens.
This tally ended his six-game goal drought. He had three assists in that span. Brink continues to fill a middle-six role for the Wild, which has made him a decent secondary scorer for a strong team. He's up to two goals, 10 points, 33 shots on net, 21 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 20 appearances, putting him on pace to reach the 40-point mark for the second time in his career.

Wild's Kirill Kaprizov: Nets OT winner on power play
Kaprizov scored the game-winning goal on the power play in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime victory over Montreal.
With Cole Caufield in the box to begin OT, Kaprizov blasted home a one-timer from the faceoff dot to the left of Jacob Fowler. It was Kaprizov's sixth PP tally of the season and his fourth GWG, and through 20 games he's produced an impressive 17 goals and 32 points, putting him third in the NHL in scoring -- the only non-Oiler in the top four -- and second in the race for the Rocket Richard Trophy behind Leon Draisaitl's 18 tallies.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Sharp in Tuesday's OT win
Wallstedt turned aside 27 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Canadiens.
The 23-year-old netminder nearly recorded his first shutout of the season, but Nick Suzuki was able to jam home a rebound with less than 90 seconds left in regulation to tie the game. Wallstedt still came away with the win when Kirill Kaprizov struck just 21 seconds into the extra frame on a power play. Wallstedt has won four straight starts and hasn't taken a regulation loss since Oct. 22, going 6-0-1 over his last seven outings with a dazzling 1.57 GAA and .939 save percentage.

Wild's Brock Faber: Targeting Saturday return
Faber (skull) has told the Wild that he's ready to play and expects to return for Saturday's game against the Bruins, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Wednesday.
Faber began the regular season on injured reserve after sustaining a fractured skull during the preseason. However, he cleared his return to play protocol in late October and resumed skating with his teammates last week. The 24-year-old is with the Wild on their current road trip, and while he's slated to remain out for Thursday's game in Toronto, he'll likely be able to make his regular-season debut a few days later. Faber recorded 15 goals, 36 assists, 148 blocked shots, 29 PIM and 33 hits while averaging 24:41 of ice time across 80 regular-season appearances with Minnesota last year.

Wild's Michael McCarron: Given green light
McCarron (upper body) will play in Tuesday's road clash against the Canadiens.
McCarron was sidelined for Saturday's clash against the Lightning after he was forced to exit Friday's game against the Sharks with an upper-body injury. Overall, the 31-year-old center has posted three goals, eight points, a plus-6 rating, 32 shots on net, 53 hits and 17 blocked shots over 18 games this season. He's expected to rejoin Minnesota's fourth line Tuesday in place of Nico Sturm.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Starting against Canadiens
Wallstedt will defend the road net against Montreal on Tuesday, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.
Wallstedt has stopped 72 of 76 shots during his three-game winning streak. In 16 appearances during the 2026-27 campaign, he has posted an 11-2-3 record, a 1.99 GAA and a .922 save percentage. Montreal (11-3-3) ranks 10th in the league this season with 3.47 goals per game.

Wild's Jared Spurgeon: Set to play Tuesday
Spurgeon (lower body) will be activated from injured reserve and is slated to play in Tuesday's road clash against the Canadiens, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.
Spurgeon has missed each of Minnesota's last five games and nine of the last 13 contests due to two separate injuries. He's expected to be activated after waivers clear Tuesday, and will rejoin one of the team's top two defensive pairings for Tuesday's road game. When healthy, the 36-year-old blueliner has been a solid all-around fantasy option with a goal, five points, a plus-6 rating, 13 shots on net, eight hits and 19 blocked shots over 10 appearances.

Wild's Tyler Pitlick: Lands on waivers Monday
Pitlick was placed on waivers by the Wild on Monday.
Pitlick spent nearly a month with the NHL club, and he was held scoreless with 32 hits, 12 blocked shots and four PIM while averaging 7:39 of ice time. However, he was a healthy scratch for Saturday's game against the Lightning and will lose his spot on the NHL roster now that Marcus Foligno and Nick Foligno are healthy. Pitlick will presumably head to AHL Iowa if he clears waivers, where he should see more consistent opportunities to contribute.

Wild's Cameron Crotty: Back on waivers
Crotty was placed on waivers Monday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
After being claimed off waivers from Ottawa on Oct. 29, Crotty didn't see any playing time with Minnesota. He will likely report to AHL Iowa if he clears waivers.

Wild's Michael McCarron: Might play Tuesday
McCarron (upper body) could be an option versus the Canadiens on Tuesday, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
McCarron's potential return could see Nico Sturm relegated to a spot in the press box against Montreal, though several players in the bottom-six could be in danger of being scratched. For his part, McCarron has notched three goals and five assists in 18 games while averaging 13:35 of ice time.

Wild's Dylan Gambrell: Picks up three points in Iowa win
Gambrell scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Iowa's 5-2 win over Rockford on Sunday.
Gambrell has done well so far with two goals and 10 assists over 15 games. He played on an AHL deal in 2025-26 with Iowa, earning 36 points in 35 contests. Despite his steady offense, he doesn't appear likely to be in the mix for a call-up in 2026-27.

Wild's Calvin Pickard: Loses in overtime
Pickard made 30 saves in a 4-3 overtime loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday.
His team staked him to a 2-0 lead in under three minutes at the start of the game, but the Bolts clawed their way back. The tying goal was scored on a 6-on-4 power play with the opposing netminder on the bench. Pickard is 1-1-1 with a 3.60 GAA and .855 save percentage, but his time with the big club is numbered. Filip Gustavsson (hip) is traveling with the team and will soon see time in the blue paint.

Wild's Blake Coleman: First goal in seven games
Coleman scored a goal Saturday in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Lightning. He also delivered two hits.
It was Coleman's first goal in seven games (two assists). The second-line winger hasn't been able to muster much offense lately or even shots -- he has just six in his last five games. And he has just eight points (five goals, three assists) in 19 games so far. But Coleman has 41 hits overall (19 games), so he's well on his way to topping the 150-hit mark for the third-straight season and seventh time in his career.

Wild's Max Shabanov: Two goals and effort earn coach's praises
Shabanov scored twice, including once on the power play, in a 4-3 overtime loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday.
Shabanov has four goals, including two on the power play, in his last four games. And eight snipes (five assists) on the season to sit second in that category on the Wild. Shabanov didn't flourish on Long Island last season, but he's showing his talent in the land of lakes. And getting the praises of his head coach John Hynes. "He's got great instincts," Hynes said after the game. "He can shoot the puck, and he's got really good poise. I like his demeanor. He's a focused kid. He's got good poise with the puck. He clearly understands how we want to play and the things we want to do. He's got good details." Shabanov may be lurking on the wire. Go get him.

Wild's Michael McCarron: Won't play Saturday
McCarron (undisclosed) isn't expected to play Saturday versus Tampa Bay, per Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News.
McCarron has three goals, eight points, 14 PIM and 53 hits in 18 appearances with Minnesota in 2026-27. His exit from the lineup coincides with the return of Nick Foligno (upper body) and Marcus Foligno (lower body). Tyler Pitlick is also projected to shift out of the lineup Saturday as a healthy scratch.
