Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Under the weather
Wallstedt is dealing with an illness and is unlikely to dress against the Canadiens on Monday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Wallstedt has given up three or more goals in each of his last five contests, posting a 2-3-0 record and 4.44 GAA. The 23-year-old backstop may not have featured in Monday's game anyway, so it's unlikely he is missing a start. Filip Gustavsson will get the nod versus the Habs while Cal Petersen could be called up from the minors to serve as the backup.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Steps up in win
Wallstedt stopped 39 of 42 shots in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Oilers.
Wallstedt picked up his second win in a row. The Wild gave him plenty of support, though the Oilers didn't back down with 42 shots, the most Wallstedt has faced in any game since Nov. 19 versus the Hurricanes. The netminder is 3-1-0 this season when facing 40-plus shots. He's 14-5-4 overall with a 2.72 GAA and a .913 save percentage across 23 appearances. The Wild have two games left before the Olympic break -- Monday at home versus the Canadiens and Wednesday on the road in Nashville. It wouldn't be surprising to see Filip Gustavsson and Wallstedt split those starts.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Wins in shootout
Wallstedt stopped 29 of 32 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Blackhawks.
Wallstedt gave up the first three goals of the game, but the Wild picked him up with a comeback. This ended the goalie's three-game losing streak, but he's still allowed at least three goals in eight of his last nine games. For the season, he's at a 13-5-4 record with a 2.71 GAA and a .914 save percentage over 22 starts. His strong start to the year has masked his recent struggles, but he's in the backup role behind Filip Gustavsson now. The Wild have a favorable matchup Thursday versus the Flames, but a starting goalie hasn't been announced.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Tending twine Tuesday
Wallstedt will start in Tuesday's home clash against the Blackhawks, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
Wallstedt enters Tuesday's contest with three consecutive losses, which is the longest losing streak of his rookie campaign. In that span, he has a 5.66 GAA and an .817 save percentage. Overall, the 23-year-old netminder has a 12-5-4 record, a 2.71 GAA, a .912 save percentage and four shutouts across 21 outings this season. With Filip Gustavsson beginning to see more frequent starts, Wallstedt will likely start seeing a true backup's workload for the time being if he can't turn things around quickly. Luckily for him, he will face a Blackhawks offense that ranks 27th with 2.65 goals per game this season, making Tuesday's game a strong bounce-back opportunity for the young goaltender.

Wallstedt has hit a rough patch with three straight losses and 15 goals allowed in that span. He also has just one win in his last six starts (1-3-2). Even with this tough run, Wallstedt still has a .914 save percentage, 2.70 GAA and 12-5-4 record overall.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Tending twine Tuesday
Wallstedt will defend the road net against Montreal on Tuesday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Filip Gustavsson played in Monday's 6-3 win over Toronto, and Wallstedt will get the second half of the back-to-back. The 23-year-old Wallstedt has lost his last two outings while allowing 11 goals on 49 shots. He has a 12-4-4 record this campaign with a 2.64 GAA, a .914 save percentage and four shutouts through 20 appearances. Montreal sits fourth in the league with 3.39 goals per game this season.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Gets hook in Thursday's loss
Wallstedt gave up six goals on 20 shots before being replaced by Filip Gustavsson to begin the third period of Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Jets.
The hook from coach John Hynes had more to do with protecting Wallstedt's confidence than his actual performance. The 23-year-old netminder has just one win in his last five starts, going 1-2-2 with a 4.13 GAA and .860 save percentage, and he could be in danger of falling out of a timeshare with Gustavsson until he turns things around.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: First goalie off Thursday
Wallstedt was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports, signaling that he'll draw the home start against the Jets.
Wallstedt and Filip Gustavsson have alternated starts over the past month, but Wallstedt will be in the net for a second consecutive game Thursday for the first time since early November. Wallstedt hasn't been particularly sharp over his last four starts, going 1-1-2 with a 3.35 GAA and .886 save percentage. However, he's made a pair of road starts against Winnipeg this year, going 2-0-0 with a 1.53 GAA and .948 save percentage.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Burned by Devils
Wallstedt turned aside 24 shots in Monday's 5-2 loss to New Jersey.
The game was close through two periods, but the Devils broke it open with three goals in just over two minutes during the third. Wallstedt didn't get a lot of help from his defense on the night -- all five New Jersey tallies came from in close, as Minnesota couldn't keep the front of the crease clear. It was Wallstedt's first regulation loss since Dec. 21, and on the season, he's gone 12-3-4 in 19 outings with a 2.42 GAA and a .921 save percentage.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Prevails in overtime
Wallstedt stopped 26 of 28 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kraken.

The 23-year-old also allowed fewer than three goals for the first time in five outings. Wallstedt is up to 12-2-4 with a 2.28 GAA and a .928 save percentage over 18 starts. Should the Wild continue to alternate goalies, Filip Gustavsson is lined up for Saturday's home game versus the Islanders, while Wallstedt would draw the floundering Devils on Monday, also at home.

While he's having a superb campaign, he's working through a rough patch, in which he's allowed 14 goals on 133 shots (.895 save percentage) across his past four appearances. Seattle ranks 25th in goals per game with 2.78.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Loses in shootout again
Wallstedt stopped 34 of 38 shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Kings.
Wallstedt has lost his last two outings in the shootout. The 23-year-old made sure to keep the Wild within a goal at all times in this contest, but he's now given up 14 goals on 133 shots over his last four games. The Swede is at an 11-2-4 record with a 2.30 GAA and a .928 save percentage through 17 starts. He's still a decent fantasy play, given the strong team in front of him, but his magic from earlier in the year has worn off a bit. Should the Wild's goaltending pattern continue, Filip Gustavsson would handle Monday's road rematch versus the Kings, while Wallstedt could get a favorable road outing against the Kraken on Thursday.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Set to start Saturday
Wallstedt is expected to start on the road against the Kings on Saturday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Falls in shootout Wednesday
Wallstedt stopped 25 of 28 shots on goal in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Sharks.
Wallstedt tended a clean first period before allowing three consecutive goals and eventually giving up two tallies in the shootout. With the OT loss, he now has an 11-2-3 record with a .928 save percentage and a 2.21 GAA through 16 appearances this season. After his hot start to the season, the 23-year-old goaltender has alternated wins and losses over his last four outings. While he remains a strong 1B option for the Wild in tandem with Filip Gustavsson, the latter has won six of his last seven outings, giving him an edge over Wallstedt in the interim. Regardless, the rookie netminder is a viable option in all fantasy formats and should continue to see a decent number of starts moving forward.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Slated to start Wednesday
Wallstedt is expected to start on the road against San Jose on Wednesday, per Max Miller of NHL.com.
Wallstedt has an 11-2-2 record, 2.16 GAA and .931 save percentage in 15 outings in 2025-26. He stopped 23 of 26 shots in a 4-3 overtime victory over Winnipeg in his last start Saturday. San Jose is tied for 17th in goals per game with 3.05.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Hangs on for OT win
Wallstedt turned aside 23 of 26 shots on net in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.
After allowing Winnipeg's second and third goals late into the second period, Wallstedt stopped every shot the rest of the way to help lead the Wild to a comeback win. He improved to an 11-2-2 record with a 2.16 GAA and a .931 save percentage through 15 appearances this season. The 23-year-old netminder is constructing a case for this season's Calder Trophy and will likely be in contention for the award alongside rookie skaters Matthew Schaefer, Ivan Demidov and Beckett Sennecke. Wallstedt has the best save percentage among goalies who have appeared in 10-plus games during the 2025-26 campaign. While Minnesota's rising star will likely continue to operate in a timeshare between the pipes with Filip Gustavsson, Wallstedt is a must-start across all formats when he is slated to take the ice.
