Jesper Wallstedt News: Guarding cage versus Kings

Wallstedt will patrol the crease for Monday's home game against Los Angeles, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

Wallstedt will take the first game of the Wild's back-to-back, which means Filip Gustavsson should get the nod on the road versus Dallas on Tuesday. It will be the season debut for the 22-year-old Wallstedt. Last season, the Swede appeared in just two regular-season games for Minnesota, going 0-2-0 with a 4.10 GAA. Even as the No. 2 option for the Wild, Wallstedt should see significantly more opportunities in 2025-26.
