Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Sent to AHL
The Minnesota Wild reassigned Jesper Wallstedt to AHL Iowa on Thursday.Minnesota had only six healthy defensemen since Declan Chisholm is out with an illness, so they demoted Wallstedt, who was set to be the Wild's third goaltender Thursday, and they promoted Daemon Hunt as their seventh defenseman. Wallstedt is expected to see plenty of action at the NHL level this season, as the Wild are likely to share the net between Wallstedt, Filip Gustavsson and Marc-Andre Fleury, unless one of the threesome gets hot. Wallstedt should make approximately 25-30 appearances this year, as he is the Wild's goaltender of the future.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Getting start Saturday
Jesper Wallstedt is set to be between the pipes on the road against the Jets on Saturday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.Wallstedt taking the first game of the preseason by no means guarantees he will earn a roster spot coming out of training camp, but it certainly is something worth monitoring. The 21-year-old netminder has just three games of NHL experience, having gone 2-1-0 with a 3.02 GAA and one shutout last season. Veteran Marc-Andre Fleury is slated to serve in the backup role Saturday, giving Filip Gustavsson the night off.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Earns first NHL win
Jesper Wallstedt recorded a shutout in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Blackhawks on Sunday, stopping all 24 shots for his first NHL victory.Wallstedt is getting a look at the NHL level with the Minnesota Wild nearly eliminated from playoff contention.
