Eriksson Ek scored a goal on four shots, added two PIM, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Flyers.

Eriksson Ek stretched his point streak to six games with a goal early in the second period, which stood as the game-winner. The center has amassed four goals and four assists during the streak. On the year, he's up to six tallies, nine helpers, 57 shots, 20 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-12 rating over 17 appearances. Eriksson Ek should remain productive as long as he's centering the Wild's top line.

Sergachev delivered two assists in a 3-2 win over the Maple Leafs on Tuesday. Both helpers came on the power play.

Sergachev's point streak is now at a mammoth eight games and 10 points (three goals, seven assists), and he has five goals, 14 assists, 17 PIM, 21 blocked shots, 11 hits and 37 shots in 16 games. Sergachev is tied with Adam Fox of the Rangers for third overall in scoring from the blue line, and he's in a three-player tie for second overall in power-play scoring (nine points). He's coming off a 10-goal, 59-point campaign in 2025-26 and he's well on his way to whipping past his career mark of 64 points set in Tampa Bay in 2022-23.

Boldy scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Flyers.

Boldy stretched his point streak to six games (two goals, five helpers) with this performance. It was his fourth multi-point effort of the campaign and first since Oct. 20 versus the Oilers. The star winger is up to seven goals, nine assists, 72 shots on net, 17 PIM, 14 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating across 17 appearances this season. He leads the league in shots, and with a modest 9.7 shooting percentage so far, he could be poised for even better scoring totals if his efficiency catches up to his career norms.

Wallstedt stopped 23 of 25 shots in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Flyers.

Wallstedt has gone 4-0-1 over his last five games, allowing just nine goals on 129 shots in that span. The Flyers started slow and pushed back later, but they were unable to catch up to the Wild in this one. Wallstedt improved to 10-2-3 with a 2.06 GAA and a .920 save percentage across 15 starts this season. The 23-year-old netminder has been excellent in a starting role, though he'll get some rest soon. The Wild's next two games are a home back-to-back, with the Sharks coming to Minnesota on Friday followed by the Lightning on Saturday. Expect Wallstedt and Calvin Pickard to split those contests.

Keller set up all three Utah goals in a 3-2 win over Toronto on Tuesday. He fired five shots.

Two of the helpers came on the power play. Keller has six points -- all assists -- four power-play assists and 12 shots in this span. He leads Utah in points with 21 on the season (four goals, 17 assists; 16 games played), and sits fourth in the NHL in helpers and top-10 in overall scoring. Keller is cycling through an interesting pattern that may belpful for you to know. Since he opened the season on a four-game streak, Keller has been held off the score sheet once and than gone on three, four-game cycles that start with being held off the score sheet for one game and then putting up points in the next three before repeating that cycle. This may be valuable in daily formats at some point in the future.

Bobrovsky made 33 saves in a 3-2 loss to Utah on Tuesday.

This loss was not on Bob, despite his struggles to this point in the season. Bobrovsky kept the Leafs in this game for a long time, but he was ultimately done in by stupid Leafs penalties that put the entire team on its head. Even head coach Jim Hiller commented after the game about hsi frustrations with the Leafs untimely infractions. Bobrovsky remains average, at best, with a 3-6-2 record, 3.27 GAA and .889 save percentage in 11 games played.

Matthews picked up two assists in a 3-2 loss to the Mammoth on Tuesday.

Matthews had five shots and rang the post at least once Tuesday in 20:01. His point streak is at five games and eight points (three goals, five assists), and he has 14 shots in that span. Overall, Matthew remains in the NHL's top-five scorers with 26 points (11 goals, 15 assists; nine PPP) and 51 shots in 17 games. He's had two seasons with at least 106 points, but stands to shatter that with his current 128-point pace.

Roslovic scored twice in a 3-2 loss to Utah on Tuesday.

Rosco has been a fantasy revelation this season. His point streak now stands at seven games and 12 points, including five goals. We're not exactly sure how Roslovic is doing this, given his meager shot total (13), but four shots Tuesday is a a great sign -- he had four total in his previous four contests. The winger has almost lifelong chemistry with pivot Auston Matthews given their time together in the USNDP, and the two are showing they are one of the NHL's better duos right now. Overall, Roslovic has eight goals, 10 assists, 43 shots, 10 PIM, 10 hits and seven blocks in 17 games.

Middleton was reassigned to AHL Colorado following Tuesday's game versus the Blue Jackets.

Middleton was up with the big club for a pair of road game, but he didn't get into the lineup. The 28-year-old defenseman could get called up again next week when the Avalanche head back out on the road.

Heiskanen (upper body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Capitals.

Heiskanen was injured early in the second period on a hit from Justin Sourdif. The 27-year-old Heiskanen will miss the rest of Tuesday's game, but his status beyond that hasn't been revealed. The Stars' road trip ends in Columbus on Thursday.
