Wild's Carson Lambos: Up from minors
Lambos was called up from AHL Iowa on Wednesday.
Jonas Brodin (lower body) was placed on injured reserve in a corresponded move. The Wild are also missing defensemen Zach Bogosian (lower body), Jake Middleton (upper body) and Daemon Hunt (undisclosed), so unless one of them can play Thursday in Columbus, Minnesota will need Lambos to draw into the lineup. Lambos has two goals, five points and 22 PIM in 26 appearances with Iowa this season. The 22-year-old hasn't made his NHL debut yet.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Shifts to injured reserve
Brodin (lower body) was moved to injured reserve Wednesday.
Brodin has already missed enough games that his placement on IR won't impact his recovery timeline. The 32-year-old blueliner will miss his fourth straight game against Columbus on Thursday, and it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup despite being considered day-to-day.

Wild's Matt Kiersted: First point with new club
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.

Wild's Matt Boldy: Keeps rolling with shorthanded goal
Boldy scored a shorthanded goal on two shots and added two blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Capitals.
Boldy has scored in four of the last six games, and he has four goals and five helpers in that span. This was his second shorthanded tally of the season -- a larger penalty kill role has been a new responsibility for the winger this year. He's up to 19 goals, 38 points, 111 shots on net, 25 hits, 26 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-11 rating through 34 appearances.

Wild's Kirill Kaprizov: Sets franchise record
Kaprizov scored a power-play goal on four shots in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Capitals.
The goal was Kaprizov's 70th career power-play tally, setting a franchise record for the Wild by breaking a tie with Zach Parise. This was Kaprizov's first goal on the power play since Nov. 26. The 28-year-old superstar is up to 21 goals, 38 points, 113 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 34 contests this season. Kaprizov's quiet stretch in early December has taken him off a 100-point pace for the year, but he's still among the most productive forwards in the league.

Wild's Danila Yurov: Collects three points
Yurov scored a goal, logged two assists, added two PIM and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Capitals.
Yurov set up two goals for Vladimir Tarasenko before the veteran returned the favor once on the rookie's third-period tally. This was Yurov's first career three-point effort, and he snapped an eight-game goal drought. For the season, the 21-year-old has four goals, 11 points, 32 shots on net, 19 blocked shots, 17 hits and a minus-1 rating over 27 appearances. Yurov has a little more room to grow as a top-six forward after the Wild sent Marco Rossi to the Canucks in the Quinn Hughes trade.

Wild's Vladimir Tarasenko: Three-point burst in win
Tarasenko scored twice on four shots, dished an assist and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Capitals.
Tarasenko has three goals and three helpers over his last five outings after this burst. The 34-year-old winger looks to be building chemistry with rookie Danila Yurov, with both forwards putting up a trio of points Tuesday. Tarasenko is now at five goals, 16 points, 51 shots on net and a minus-2 rating across 27 appearances.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Earns third shutout of season
Gustavsson posted a 25-save shutout in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Capitals.
Gustavsson looks to have clawed back the starting role, as he's tended the twine four times in the Wild's last five games. He's won all of those outings while allowing just five goals on 98 shots. The 27-year-old is up to three shutouts this year and 14 in his career, and through 22 appearances in 2025-26, he's at an 11-8-3 record with a 2.49 GAA and a .912 save percentage. The Wild also have Jesper Wallstedt in what's becoming an embarrassment of riches in the crease, with both goalies worth starting in fantasy whenever they get the nod.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Not returning Thursday
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.

Wild's Zach Bogosian: Set to miss another game
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.

Wild's Marcus Johansson: Unlikely to travel
Johansson (lower body) is not expected to travel to Columbus for Thursday's game, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports.
This essentially guarantees the forward will miss a second straight game. Johansson's next chance to play is Saturday at home versus the Oilers, the first of a stretch of three games in four days prior to the holiday break.

Wild's Jake Middleton: Resuming skating Wednesday
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.

Wild's Daemon Hunt: Exits Tuesday's contest
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.

Wild's Hunter Haight: Rejoins AHL Iowa
Haight was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Tuesday.
The Wild needed to make room on the roster after activating Marcus Foligno (lower body) from injured reserve, which resulted in Haight being dropped to the minors. The 21-year-old Haight will head back to Iowa, where he's recorded five goals, six points and a minus-12 rating across 16 contests in 2025-26.

Wild's David Jiricek: Available Tuesday
Jiricek (lower body) will be in the lineup for Tuesday's home matchup versus the Capitals, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
Jiricek exited Sunday's contest against the Bruins as a result of a lower-body injury, but he won't miss any additional action. The right-shot blueliner should skate on the third pairing alongside Matt Kiersted on Tuesday. The 22-year-old Jiricek has not recorded a point through 14 appearances this year.

Wild's Vinnie Hinostroza: Upgraded to day-to-day
Hinostroza (lower body) won't be in the lineup against Washington on Tuesday but is considered day-to-day, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
It's a step in the right direction for Hinostroza, even if he won't be in action for Tuesday's tilt. Prior to his absence, the winger was mired in a six-game pointless streak during which he managed seven shots, four hits and one block while averaging 9:41 of ice time. Once given the all-clear, Hinostroza figures to slot into a bottom-six role, though he'll need to be activated off injured reserve first.

Wild's Marcus Johansson: Not available against Washington
Johansson (lower body) won't be an option against the Capitals on Tuesday and is day-to-day, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.
While Johansson will not be available Tuesday, the Wild are scheduled to get Marcus Foligno (lower body) back in the lineup. Yakov Trenin is expected to move into the top six due to Johansson's absence. The 35-year-old winger's next chance to suit up will be in Columbus on Thursday.

Wild's Zach Bogosian: Sidelined by lower-body injury
Bogosian is dealing with a lower-body injury and will be out of action versus Washington on Tuesday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Bogosian finds himself back on the shelf after having missed a month of the season earlier in the year with a lower-body problem. With injuries piling up on the blue line, Matt Kiersted looks set to be on the third pairing with David Jiricek (lower body).

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Remains day-to-day
Brodin (lower body) is still day-to-day, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Tuesday.
Brodin will miss his third straight game against Washington on Tuesday. It's unclear if he will be ready to return for Thursday's road matchup against Columbus. Brodin has contributed three goals, nine points, 28 shots on net and 66 blocked shots across 30 appearances this season.
