Zuccarello (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Blues, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Zuccarello will rest for a second consecutive game since Minnesota's playoff seeding is secured. Regardless of whether he suits up Tuesday against the Ducks, he should return to action for the start of the postseason.

Hofer will protect the home net against Minnesota on Monday, Elise Butler of the Blues' official site reports.

Hofer is coming off a 31-save effort in Saturday's 5-3 win over Chicago. He has a 22-13-5 record in the 2025-26 campaign with six shutouts, a 2.59 GAA and a .910 save percentage across 44 appearances. Minnesota will be resting Quinn Hughes, Kirill Kaprizov, Matt Boldy, Marcus Foligno, Ryan Hartman, Joel Eriksson Ek, Brock Faber and Mats Zuccarello in Monday's matchup.

Faber won't play in Monday's game against the Blues due to rest purposes, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Faber has appeared in every game for the Wild this year, but he'll get a night off in the penultimate game of the regular season since Minnesota's playoff seeding is secure. It's not yet clear whether he'll suit up Tuesday against the Ducks, but he should be back in action for the start of the playoffs.

Ingram will start Monday's home game against the Avalanche, Tom Gazzola of Edmonton Sports Talk reports.

Ingram has gone 1-2-0 with eight goals allowed on 64 shots over three appearances in April. He made a relief appearance on the road against Colorado on March 10 and turned aside 16 of 18 shots (.889 save percentage) in a 4-3 loss.

Foligno (rest) won't play against St. Louis on Monday, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic.

Foligno will be out of the lineup for at least one game, but it's unclear if he will play against Anaheim on Tuesday in Minnesota's regular-season finale. He has collected eight goals, 13 points, 65 shots on net, 47 blocked shots and 179 hits through 56 outings this campaign.

Eriksson Ek (rest) won't play in Monday's game against the Blues, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Eriksson Ek sat out Saturday's game against Nashville for rest purposes, and he'll miss a second consecutive matchup Monday. It's not yet clear whether he'll suit up for Tuesday's regular-season finale against the Ducks, but he should at least return to action for the start of the playoffs.

Hartman will get the night off against St. Louis on Monday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Hartman has been rolling offensively of late, racking up seven goals and five assists in his last nine contests. After generating just 11 goals last year, the 31-year-old winger got back over the 20-goal threshold in 2025-26, producing 23 tallies and 43 points in 76 regular-season games, including a career-high six power-play goals.

Kaprizov won't play Monday against St. Louis for rest purposes, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

The Wild have clinched a playoff spot and will rest Kaprizov and several other key contributors during the penultimate game of the regular season. The 28-year-old has produced multi-point performances in three of six appearances this month, recording six goals, two assists, five hits and three blocked shots while averaging 20:22 of ice time across that span. It's not yet clear whether Kaprizov will suit up Tuesday against Anaheim, but he should at least return to action for the start of the postseason.

Boldy will be rested for Monday's matchup with the Blues, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Boldy joins a lengthy list of Wild players who will be sitting out Monday. With the team heading into a back-to-back, it's possible that the 25-year-old winger misses Tuesday's game against the Ducks as well. If that's the case, Boldy will finish the regular season having set new personal bests in goals (42), points (85) and power-play points (30).

Hughes (rest) won't play against St. Louis on Monday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Hughes will get at least one game off to rest, but it's unclear if he will play in Tuesday's regular-season finale against Anaheim. He has generated seven goals and 76 points in 74 games between Minnesota and Vancouver this campaign.
