Wild's Ben Jones: Trio of assists in AHL loss
Jones logged three assists in AHL Iowa's 8-6 loss to Springfield on Saturday.
Jones has two goals and eight helpers over his last six AHL outings. For the season, he's at 16 points in 15 outings for Iowa, as well as two points in 26 games for Minnesota at the NHL level. Jones would likely be considered for a call-up if the injury bug bites the Wild again.

Wild's Tyler Pitlick: Logs three points in AHL loss
Pitlick scored twice and added an assist in AHL Iowa's 8-6 loss to Springfield on Saturday.
Pitlick has earned four points over two games since he returned to the AHL. He has eight points over seven contests with Iowa this season. The Wild's numerous injuries at the NHL level have kept Pitlick in a depth role for the big club for much of the campaign, but he's earned just two goals in 31 contests for Minnesota.

Wild's Samuel Hlavaj: Can't weather storm against Sweden
Hlavaj made 46 saves in Slovakia's 5-3 loss to Sweden on Saturday in Olympic round-robin action.
Slovakia got outshot 51-32 in the contest, but Hlavaj came up with several big saves to keep his team in the game. The 24-year-old Wild prospect allowed six goals on 91 shots in his two Olympic starts. Slovakia has a 2-1 record in the preliminary round, but whether the team receives a bye to the quarterfinals or will have to play in Tuesday's qualification round hinges on the result of Finland's final round-robin game against Italy.

Wild's Samuel Hlavaj: Gets starting nod versus Sweden
Hlavaj will protect the Slovakian cage versus Sweden on Saturday at the 2026 Winter Olympics, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Hlavaj was outstanding in Wednesday's 4-1 upset win over Finland while stopping 39 shots. He has spent most of the 2025-26 campaign with AHL Iowa, going 5-9-4 with a 3.24 GAA and an .884 save percentage over 18 starts. Sweden has its back against the wall in Saturday's contest, as goal differential is poised to play a significant role in deciding which team wins Group B.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Falls to Finland
Gustavsson stopped 20 of 23 shots in Sweden's 4-1 loss to Finland on Friday in Olympic round-robin action, with Finland's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
The 27-year-old netminder got outplayed by Juuse Saros in the other crease, but Gustavsson also didn't get a lot of support, as Sweden's only goal was scored by Rasmus Dahlin on a second-period power play. After allowing five goals on 45 shots in his first two Olympic outings, Gustavsson will get a breather Saturday against Slovakia, with Jacob Markstrom or Jesper Wallstedt expected to be between the pipes.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Facing Finland
Gustavsson will draw the starting assignment for Sweden against Finland on Friday at the 2026 Winter Olympics, per Ethan Sears of the New York Post.
Gustavsson will make his second straight start for Sweden -- he allowed two goals on 22 shots in a 5-2 victory over Italy on Wednesday. The 27-year-old netminder is 20-9-6 with a 2.64 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 36 games this season for the Wild. The Finns have their backs against the wall after dropping a 4-1 decision to Slovakia on Wednesday.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Cruises to win over Italy
Gustavsson made 20 saves in Sweden's 5-2 win over Italy in Olympic round-robin play Wednesday.
The game was surprisingly close through two periods despite an overwhelming shot advantage for Sweden, but the favorites pulled away in the third and wound up out-shooting Italy 59-22. Gustavsson appears set as the No. 1 netminder for Sweden, and head coach Sam Hallam indicated he would be between the pipes again Friday against Finland, with either Jacob Markstrom or Gustavsson's teammate with the Wild, Jesper Wallstedt, getting the nod Saturday versus Slovakia.

Wild's Samuel Hlavaj: Shines in Olympic debut
Hlavaj stopped 39 of 40 shots in Slovakia's 4-1 win over Finland on Wednesday in the preliminary round of the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Hlavaj had the daunting task of facing a talented Finnish roster, but he was up for the challenge. He made 18 saves on 18 shots in the first period. The 24-year-old will probably get another chance to play in Slovakia's second game of the tournament against Italy on Friday.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Expected to start Wednesday
Contrary to a previous report, Gustavsson is expected to start for Sweden against Italy on Wednesday at the 2026 Winter Olympics, per Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press.
Jacob Markstrom initially looked like he would get the start, but it now seems he'll serve as the understudy. Gustavsson has a 20-9-6 record, 2.64 GAA and .906 save percentage in 36 outings with Minnesota in 2025-26. The 27-year-old Gustavsson will face the host nation. However, Italy doesn't have any players presently on NHL rosters and is a heavy underdog going into this match.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Won't play Wednesday
Wallstedt (illness) won't be in the lineup for Team Sweden's game against Italy on Wednesday at the 2026 Winter Olympics, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Wallstedt missed Minnesota's 6-5 overtime win over Nashville last Wednesday. However, he was available for Sweden for the start of the Olympics, according to Bill Price of NHL.com. Wallstedt has a 14-5-4 record, 2.72 GAA and .913 save percentage in 23 outings with the Wild in 2025-26. Filip Gustavsson is set to start for Sweden on Wednesday.

Wild's Samuel Hlavaj: Set to get Olympic start Wednesday
Hlavaj is set to start for Slovakia against Finland on Wednesday at the 2026 Winter Olympics, Patrik Mitas of STV reports.
Hlavaj has a 3.33 GAA and an .884 save percentage in 18 outings with AHL Iowa in 2025-26. The 24-year-old was never drafted, but he signed a two-year, entry-level contract with Minnesota on April 5, 2024. This is the first game of the tournament for Slovakia and Finland, but the Finnish team is expected to be very good. Hlavaj will be facing the likes of Roope Hintz, Sebastian Aho and Mikko Rantanen, as well as other NHL talent.

Wild's Rieger Lorenz: One of each in win
Lorenz scored a goal and added an assist in the University of Denver's 4-1 win over Colorado College on Saturday.
Lorenz has surpassed his 20-point total from 44 games last season. He's now sitting at 11 goals and 11 helpers through 31 appearances, giving him a chance to take a run at his 30-point campaign from 2023-24, which is his best in the NCAA. The senior forward looks set to end the season strong, which could earn him a contract with the Wild after his collegiate campaign is over.

Wild's Zach Bogosian: Nabs helper Wednesday
Bogosian logged an assist in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Predators.
This was Bogosian's second game back after missing 13 due to a lower-body injury. The 35-year-old should hold onto a third-pairing role as long as he can stay healthy, which has been a challenge. He's now at five points, 21 shots on net, 21 hits, 23 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 25 appearances this season.

Wild's Quinn Hughes: Two more assists
Hughes logged two assists and two PIM in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Predators.
Hughes goes into his stint with Team USA at the Olympics riding a 10-game point streak. He's amassed two goals, 16 assists (seven on the power play) and 26 shots on net in that span. For the season, the 26-year-old blueliner is up to 57 points (25 on the power play), 143 shots on net, 59 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 52 appearances between the Wild and the Canucks.

Spurgeon scored the game-winning goal, added four hits and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Predators.
Spurgeon has two goals and an assist over his last five games. The 36-year-old defenseman secured the win 4:14 into overtime Wednesday, ending a back-and-forth game. For the season, he's produced six goals, 17 points, 69 shots on net, 108 blocked shots, 70 hits and a minus-1 rating over 58 appearances while seeing steady top-four minutes.

The 29-year-old is up to five goals, 17 points, 66 shots on net, 286 hits, 30 blocked shots, 25 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 58 appearances this season. He's on pace to get back to the 20-point mark for the first time in three years, and he's already set a career high in hits.

Wild's Vladimir Tarasenko: Pots goal Wednesday
Tarasenko notched a goal and took five shots in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Predators.
Tarasenko has found the back of the net in two of his last three appearances, and the veteran winger has been trending in the right direction of late. Tarasenko has scored 15 goals this season, but seven of those -- and 11 of his 31 points -- have come since the beginning of January.

Wild's Matt Boldy: Nets hat trick Wednesday
Boldy recorded a hat trick, including a power-play goal, and added an assist in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Predators.
Boldy has been on fire since returning from a four-game absence in mid-January due to a lower-body injury. The star winger has five goals and 11 total points over his last six outings, a span in which he's also racked up four PIM, a plus-2 rating, 16 shots on goal -- along with an incredibly high 31.3 shooting percentage -- and eight hits.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Gives up five goals
Gustavsson stopped 30 of 35 shots in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Predators.
Gustavsson didn't have his best performance in this contest, but he still managed to extend his undefeated streak in regulation to nine games, going 6-0-2 with a 3.15 GAA and an .888 save percentage over that span. Gustavsson should remain the Wild's No. 1 goaltender once the league resumes following the Olympic break.
