Wild's Jacob Middleton: Fills stat sheet in win
Middleton posted an assist, two shots on goal, two hits, four blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Blues.
It was a well-rounded effort for Middleton from a fantasy perspective. The 28-year-old's scoring pace has predictably dropped after his hot start -- he has just two points over his last eight games. He's at a total of three goals, seven assists, 27 shots on net, 24 hits, 45 blocked shots, 11 PIM and a plus-17 rating through 18 appearances in a top-four role.

Wild's Brock Faber: Pockets assist in win
Faber notched an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Blues.
Faber has four helpers over his last six outings. The 22-year-old defenseman continues to play steady overall, though he hasn't had much of a breakout compared to his 47-point rookie season. He's at two goals, eight assists, 23 shots on net, 15 blocked shots, 11 hits and a plus-9 rating over 18 appearances in a top-pairing role.

Wild's Ryan Hartman: Opens scoring in win
Hartman scored a goal, added two hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Blues.
Hartman snapped a five-game point drought with the opening tally at 12:24 of the first period. The 30-year-old has a meaningful chance to establish himself in the top six while Mats Zuccarello (lower body) is out for a few weeks. Hartman is at four goals, one assist, 31 shots on net, 17 hits and a minus-1 rating over 13 appearances, but he's had some success in larger roles over the past three campaigns.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Pots game-winner in return
Brodin scored the game-winning goal in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Blues.
The veteran blueliner had missed the prior two games with an upper-body injury, but Brodin made an immediate impact in his return, beating Jordan Binnington with a blast from the top of the faceoff circle midway through the third period that broke a 2-2 tie. Brodin has two goals and seven points in his 16 appearances this season, adding 35 blocked shots, 31 shots on net and a plus-6 rating to his ledger.

Wild's Kirill Kaprizov: Lights lamp twice in win
Kaprizov scored two goals in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Blues.
Both tallies came in the third period as the Wild put the game away. Kaprizov has found the back of the net in three straight games, continuing a blistering start to the season that has seen the 27-year-old superstar collect 13 goals and 33 points in 18 contests with 58 shots on net and a plus-17 rating.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Nabs ninth win
Gustavsson made 22 saves in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Blues.
The Wild never trailed in the game, and Gustavsson had little chance on the two pucks that did get past him. The 26-year-old netminder has shaken off his rough 2023-24 campaign and is back in elite form, posting a 9-3-2 record over 14 appearances with a 2.07 GAA and .926 save percentage.

Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Returning to lineup
Eriksson Ek (lower body) will be available for Tuesday's road matchup versus the Blues, per Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Eriksson Ek will resume his role on the top line and No. 1 power-play unit after a brief one-game absence. The left-shot center has provided five goals, three assists and a plus-5 rating over 14 games.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Good to go
Brodin (upper body) will play Tuesday against St. Louis, according to Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Brodin will return to the second pairing following a two-game absence. He has one goal, five assists, 29 shots on net, 33 blocked shots and eight hits through 15 appearances this season. Jon Merrill or Declan Chisholm will be a healthy scratch versus the Blues.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Poised to return Tuesday
Brodin (upper body) is expected to play versus St. Louis on Tuesday, assuming he gets final medical clearances, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Brodin has missed the last two games due to his upper-body issue but should be back on the blue line alongside Jared Spurgeon. The 31-year-old Brodin is slightly behind his pace from last season when he notched 27 points in 62 regular-season contests but should still be capable of reaching the 20-point threshold.

Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: On track for Tuesday
Eriksson Ek (lower body) is expected back in the lineup Tuesday against the Blues but is still awaiting final medical clearance, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Eriksson Ek retook his first-line role at practice Monday in addition to linking up with the No. 1 power-play unit. If the 27-year-old center does play, he will be looking to end a six-game goal drought during which he managed just one helper. The return of Eriksson Ek will help to bolster a forward group that will be without Mats Zuccarello (lower body) for 3-4 weeks.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Defending cage against Blues
Gustavsson will patrol the blue paint on the road versus St. Louis on Tuesday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Gustavsson has suffered just one regulation loss in his last four outings but that defeat could probably be laid at the feet of his offense considering the netminder stopped 38 of 40 shots (.950 save percentage). With the backstop already having earned eight victories this year, he should easily top his personal best of 22 wins from the 2022-23 campaign.

Wild's Devin Shore: Called up Sunday
Shore was recalled from AHL Iowa on Sunday, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.
Shore has yet to make an NHL appearance this season. The Ontario native chipped in one goal and three assists over 21 regular-season games with the Kraken in 2023-24. Shore was recalled alongside Ben Jones, so one of the forwards could draw into the lineup Tuesday against the Blues if Joel Eriksson Ek isn't ready to return from a lower-body injury.

Wild's Ben Jones: Promoted from AHL
Jones was brought up from AHL Iowa on Sunday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Jones could draw into the lineup Tuesday against St. Louis if Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) isn't ready to go. Jones hasn't made an appearance in the NHL since the 2021-22 campaign with Vegas. The left-shot forward has been productive in the AHL this season with four goals and eight assists across 14 contests.

Wild's Liam Ohgren: Assigned to AHL
Ohgren was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Sunday.
Ohgren hasn't earned a point in eight NHL appearances this season while collecting 10 shots on net, three blocked shots and eight hits. If Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) is ready to return for Tuesday's game against St. Louis, Ohgren could still be summoned from the minors to accompany Minnesota on the team's three-game road trip.

Wild's Michael Milne: Reassigned to AHL
Milne was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Sunday.
Milne made his NHL debut Saturday, logging 6:34 of ice time in a loss to the Stars. The 22-year-old forward will now return to the minors with Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) expected to be available by Minnesota's next game Tuesday against the Blues. Milne has four goals and eight points in 10 games in the AHL this year.

Wild's Daemon Hunt: Sent back down
Hunt was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Sunday.
Hunt was brought up earlier in the week, though he served as a healthy scratch in Minnesota's last two games. If Jonas Brodin (upper body) can't play in the Wild's next game Tuesday against the Blues, Hunt could be brought back up as a seventh defenseman.

Wild's Jared Spurgeon: Logs another helper
Spurgeon produced an assist, three shots on goal, five blocked shots and two hits in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Stars.
Spurgeon has a helper in each of the last two contests after going four games without a point. The 34-year-old defenseman has struggled to carve out much offense this season, though it doesn't help that he missed six games due to a lower-body injury in October. Spurgeon is now at five helpers, 22 shots on net, 19 blocked shots, eight hits and a plus-3 rating over 11 appearances. That matches his point total from 16 outings in 2023-24, a season which was cut short by multiple injuries that required surgery.
