Wild's Matt Boldy: Deposits goal Thursday
Boldy scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.
Boldy snapped a six-game goal drought with the tally. He had five assists in that span. The winger hasn't quite locked in his scoring touch this season, though he remains heavily involved on the top line and first power-play unit. Boldy is at six goals, seven assists, 65 shots on net, 13 hits, 12 blocked shots, 15 PIM and a plus-11 rating across 15 appearances. Considering his current 9.2 shooting percentage is the lowest of his career, he should be able to improve as the season progresses.

Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Being evaluated Friday
Eriksson Ek is being evaluated by team doctors Friday after sustaining an apparent injury during Thursday's loss to the Islanders, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
While the exact nature and severity of Eriksson Ek's injury aren't yet clear, his status for Sunday's game against the Capitals appears to be up in the air. The 29-year-old has had a solid start to the 2026-27 campaign, recording five goals, seven assists, 20 hits, 10 PIM and five blocked shots while averaging 20:08 of ice time. A better idea of Eriksson Ek's status for Sunday's matchup could come into focus based on whether he participates in Saturday's practice session.

Wild's Mason Shaw: Reassigned to minors
Shaw was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Friday.
Shaw spent nearly a week with the NHL club, but he didn't appear in any of Minnesota's four games across the past several days. The 27-year-old hasn't appeared in a regular-season game at the NHL level since the 2023-24 campaign, and he should see more consistent playing time in the minors.

Wild's Carson Lambos: Sent down by Minnesota
Lambos was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Friday.
Lambos was called up by the Wild on Thursday, but he didn't appear in the team's 4-3 loss to the Islanders. He'll head back to the minors a day later but will be a candidate to be called back up at some point if Minnesota needs additional depth on the blue line.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Allows four goals in overtime loss
Wallstedt stopped 22 of 26 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.
Wallstedt suffered his first home defeat of the season after Matthew Schaefer beat him just 33 seconds into overtime. The young netminder entered the contest after winning his last two starts, but this outing matched his season-worst goals-allowed total. Despite the disappointing result, his role in a competitive Wild squad should continue to provide fantasy opportunities, although his save efficiency remains important to monitor. He's enjoying a strong start to the season even if he has the occasional down performance, going 8-2-3 with a 2.14 GAA and a strong .916 save percentage in 13 starts.

Wild's Quinn Hughes: Scores, assists in OT loss
Hughes scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.
Hughes tied the game late in the second period with a backhand goal before earning an assist on Matt Boldy's third-period equalizer. The defenseman continues to drive Minnesota's offense from the blue line, and his four shots highlight his willingness to contribute as a scorer rather than solely as a playmaker. His combination of offensive responsibility, shot generation and power-play involvement supports an elite fantasy ceiling. He has recorded two points in each of his last three games and is up to 20 points (four goals, 16 assists) in just 15 games.

Wild's Jared Spurgeon: Heads to IR
Spurgeon (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, per the NHL media site.
Spurgeon's move to IR cleared the roster spot for the Wild to acquire Cameron Crotty off waivers from the Senators. The Wild have dealt with a number of injured on the blue line this season. Spurgeon is considered week-to-week and won't be eligible to return until Tuesday's game versus the Flyers at the earliest, though it sounds like his absence will stretch beyond that.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Drawing home start Thursday
Wallstedt will start Thursday's home game against the Islanders, Dylan Daniel of the Wild's official site reports.
Wallstedt picked up his second consecutive win Tuesday against Utah, and he'll remain in the crease Thursday as the Wild return home following a five-game road trip. Across his 12 starts to begin the regular season, Wallstedt has gone 8-2-2 with a 1.99 GAA and .922 save percentage.

Wild's Cameron Crotty: Claimed off waivers
Crotty was claimed off waivers by Minnesota from Ottawa on Thursday, per Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia.
Crotty has no points, two hits and one block in three appearances with Ottawa in 2026-27. He appeared in just one of Ottawa's past 10 games before the Senators placed him on waivers, though Crotty also missed some time during that stretch due to an illness. Jared Spurgeon (undisclosed) is week-to-week, and Brock Faber (skull) might be a few days from skating, so Crotty provides the Wild with some extra defensive depth. However, there's no guarantee Crotty will draw into the lineup even while Faber and Spurgeon are unavailable.

Wild's Brock Faber: Clears return to play protocol
Faber (skull) has cleared his return to play protocol and could resume skating within a few days, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.
While there's no official timetable for Faber's return yet, he checked off a crucial box in his recovery Thursday, as he's progressed through his return to play protocol. The 24-year-old blueliner suffered his skull injury in the preseason, which has kept him sidelined on injured reserve throughout the entire regular season thus far. He remains one of the best IR stashes for fantasy managers who drafted him, and when he's able to return, Faber is a must-start in all fantasy formats given his two-way success to begin his NHL career.

Wild's Jared Spurgeon: Considered week-to-week
The Wild announced Thursday that Spurgeon (undisclosed) is considered week-to-week, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Spurgeon exited Tuesday's game against the Mammoth due to an undisclosed injury, and he's facing a multi-game absence. It's not yet clear when the 36-year-old will be able to return to action, but David Spacek and Carson Lambos are candidates to see additional playing time in the near future, while it's possible that Spurgeon will land on injured reserve at some point.

Wild's Carson Lambos: Brought up to Minnesota
Lambos was Michael Russo of The Athletic from AHL Iowa on Thursday, per Michael Russo.
Lambos will head up to the big club Thursday after Jared Spurgeon (undisclosed) suffered an injury in Tuesday's win over the Mammoth. The 23-year-old Lambos has been solid for AHL Iowa across his eight appearances this season, where he's posted two points and a minus-2 rating. He'll likely serve as the team's seventh defenseman in practice ahead of Thursday's clash against the Islanders, but he might have a chance to make his season debut if Spurgeon's injury persists.

Wild's Quinn Hughes: Slings two power-play helpers
Hughes notched two power-play assists, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Mammoth.
Hughes is rolling with five points over his last three games. This was the first time he's had multiple power-play points in the same contests this season despite his steady offense to start the year. He's at three goals, 15 helpers, 39 shots on net, nine blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 14 outings from the Wild's top pairing and first power-play unit.

Wild's Max Shabanov: Pots goal Tuesday
Shabanov scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Mammoth.
Shabanov has three points over his last two contests. The 26-year-old winger is seeing middle-six minutes and looks to be a good fit in the Wild's offense as a complementary source of points. He has four goals, five assists, 17 shots on net, seven hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-4 rating across 13 appearances on the year.

Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Tallies on power play in win
Eriksson Ek scored a power-play goal on four shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Mammoth.
Eriksson Ek has three goals and five assists over his last seven games, getting on the scoresheet in all but one of them. The 29-year-old center continues to be a steady source of offense, offering a gritty net-front presence to complement Kirill Kaprizov's elite shot on the first line and top power-play unit. Eriksson Ek is at four goals, seven helpers, 47 shots on net, 18 hits and a plus-8 rating through 14 appearances this season.

Wild's Kirill Kaprizov: Adds two power-play points
Kaprizov scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Mammoth.
Kaprizov also had four shots on net and two hits. The superstar winger has racked up three straight two-point games, and he's earned multiple points in eight of 14 contests overall. He's at 14 goals, nine helpers, 48 shots, seven hits and a plus-10 rating for the year. Kaprizov is shooting 29.2 percent, which is bound to come down a bit -- no one's goal-per-game good.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Sharp again in win over Mammoth
Wallstedt stopped 26 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Mammoth.
Wallstedt has allowed exactly one goal in six of his 12 outings this season. This was his second win in a row, and he improved to 8-2-2 on the year. He's added a 1.99 GAA and a .922 save percentage. Wallstedt is in the early Vezina conversation with how well he's played while also seeing the most work in the league so far. The Wild return home for one game Thursday versus the Islanders before another pair of road contests.

Wild's Jared Spurgeon: Departs Tuesday's game
Spurgeon (undisclosed) did not finish Tuesday's game versus the Mammoth after blocking two shots on the same shift. Head coach John Hynes had no status update on the defenseman after the contest, per Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
Spurgeon was injured in the second period. The 36-year-old recently returned from an upper-body injury that cost him four contests. If Spurgeon misses additional time beyond Tuesday, David Spacek will likely get to play in a bottom-four role while Jonas Brodin and Zach Bogosian would get extra ice time.
