Ekman-Larsson scored a goal Tuesday in a 3-2 win over Chicago.

He has a goal in each of his last two games (four shots). Ekman-Larsson has already put up 22 points, including six goals, in 32 contests in 2025-26. He delivered 29 (four goals, 25 assists) in 77 games during the 2024-25 regular season.

Kiersted logged a shorthanded assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Capitals.

Kiersted first point with the Wild came on a Matt Boldy tally in the third period. The 27-year-old Kiersted is filling in as a depth defenseman while the Wild are missing a handful of regulars on the blue line. With no one expected to return Thursday versus the Blue Jackets, per Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News, Kiersted figures to remain in the lineup for at least one more contest. Over two appearances this season, he's racked up four shots on net and a blocked shot.

LaCombe scored a goal Tuesday in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Penguins.

LaCombe tied it 3-3 with 3:16 left in the third frame with a shot from below the goal line that went off the mask of Jet Greaves and ultimately forced overtime. LaCombe has a goal in each of his last two games. The left-shot defenseman's ice time is climbing -- he recorded a whopping 31:23 in Tuesday's loss. He has six goals, 14 assists and 77 shots in 34 contests this season.

Brodin (lower body) is not expected to travel to Columbus for Thursday's game, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports.

Barring a surprise at practice Wednesday, Brodin is set to miss his fourth straight game Thursday. The 32-year-old is still considered day-to-day, but it's unclear if he'll suit up for the first of three games in four days when the Wild host the Oilers on Saturday.

Bogosian (lower body) is not expected to travel for Thursday's game versus the Blue Jackets, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports.

The Wild will be missing as many as four blueliners for Thursday's contest, with Bogosian set for a second straight absence. It's unclear if he'll be good to go Saturday versus the Oilers.

Middleton (upper body) will start skating Wednesday, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports.

Middleton's already missed four games and is in line to miss at least one more, as he's not expected to travel to Columbus on Thursday. The 29-year-old blueliner will need to be activated from injured reserve once he's ready to return.

Hunt (undisclosed) didn't finish Tuesday's game versus the Capitals, and there was no update on his status from head coach John Hynes, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports.

Hunt joins a growing list of injured blueliners, which could leave the Wild thin on defense heading into Thursday's road game versus the Blue Jackets. The 23-year-old hasn't officially been ruled out for that contest yet, but he may be deemed unavailable if the Wild call up another blueliner.

Werenski scored twice and added an assist in a 4-3 overtime win over the Ducks on Tuesday.

Both goals were off rushes. Werenski followed the play on the first goal, took a pass as he entered the zone and wired a low wrister when he got into the left circle. He carried the puck from his zone into theirs and wired another wrist shot on his second. Werenski snapped a seven-game goal slump, and he now has 11 goals, 36 points and 120 shots in 33 games this season. He's proving that his 23-goal, 82-point, 298-shot outburst last year was real. Werenski is currently the second-best offensive defender in the NHL.

Dunn (illness) will be in the lineup Tuesday versus the Avalanche, Joe Pohoryles of Emerald City Spectrum reports.

Dunn missed practiced Monday, but he'll suit up a day later. The defenseman should be good to handle a top-pairing role while seeing ample power-play time as well.

Murchison was reassigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Murchison was the odd man out on the blue line with Rasmus Ristolainen (triceps) returning to the lineup versus the Habs on Tuesday. During his brief NHL stint, the 22-year-old Murchison posted five hits, two blocks and one shot in three outings while averaging 15:00 of ice time.
