Lettieri scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Lettieri got the Wild on the board midway through the opening period, beating Justus Annunen with a one-timer to tie the game 1-1. Lettieri now has goals in consecutive games after going 26 games without a marker, logging just three assists in that span. The 29-year-old forward now has five goals and nine points, one shy of a career high, through 42 games this season.

Lettieri scored a goal on his only shot in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

Lettieri put the Wild ahead 3-2 midway through the final period, lifting a backhander past Joonas Korpisalo off a Senators' turnover for the eventual game-winner. It's the first goal since Dec. 18 for Lettieri -- he'd logged just one assist in his prior 20 games while skating on Minnesota's fourth line. Overall, the 29-year-old forward has four goals and eight points, two shy of a career high, while averaging 9:40 of ice time through 41 games this season.

Lettieri went unclaimed on waivers and will remain with the Wild for now, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Lettieri has three goals and seven points in 32 NHL contests this season. If he plays Thursday against Arizona, it will likely be as a member of the fourth line.

Lettieri was designated for waivers by the Wild on Tuesday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lettieri's potential demotion could be an indication that Minnesota is close to getting some forward reinforcements, including youngster Marat Khusnutdinov, who is finalizing his visa details. Considering the 29-year-old Lettieri hasn't scored a goal since Dec. 18 versus Pittsburgh, a stretch of 18 games without a tally, fantasy players are unlikely to be significantly impacted by a move to AHL Iowa.

Lettieri notched two assists in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Lettieri returned from a 15-game absence due to a lower-body injury and enjoyed his most productive game of the season. The 29-year-old filled in on the fourth line, and he'll likely remain there with Patrick Maroon (back) out 4-6 weeks after surgery. Lettieri has six points, 26 shots on net, 22 hits and a minus-5 rating through 20 appearances this season.

Lettieri (lower body) has been removed from injured reserve ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Chicago, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Lettieri is far from a lock to step into the lineup, especially having missed the previous 15 contests. If the center does get into the lineup, it could be at the expense of the recently recalled Adam Beckman. When he does play, the 29-year-old Lettieri has offered minimal offensive production, with just four points in 19 contests.

Lettieri (lower body) isn't expected to start taking contact in practices until after the All-Star break, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

That safely rules Lettieri out for Minnesota's final game before the break, which will be a contest against Anaheim on Saturday. The Wild's schedule will resume Feb. 7 against the Blackhawks. Lettieri, who last played Dec. 30, has three goals, four points, 21 hits and 11 blocks in 19 contests this season. When Lettieri's healthy, he'll likely serve on the fourth line, though there's no guarantee he'll stay in the lineup or even remain in the NHL.

Lettieri (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

In a corresponding move, Samuel Walker was brought up from AHL Iowa. Lettieri, who sat out Sunday's 3-2 win over Winnipeg, will miss at least the next three games following his placement on the IR list. He has provided three goals, one assist, 26 shots on net and 21 hits in 19 contests this season

Lettieri didn't play Sunday against Winnipeg because of a lower-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

Lettieri was injured in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Jets. He has three goals, one assist, 26 shots on net and 21 hits in 19 games this season. Jake Lucchini took Lettieri's spot in the lineup Sunday.

Lettieri netted a goal in a 4-3 loss to Pittsburgh on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Minnesota clawed back from a 3-0 deficit, and Lettieri contributed to that effort when he found the back of the net at 5:33 of the third period to tie the contest at 3-3. The Wild still lost, but at least it was a good showing from the 28-year-old, who needs to take advantage of every opportunity he can get. Lettieri, who entered Monday's action averaging 10:43 of ice time per game in 2023-24, has three goals and four points in 14 contests. He's also spent time with AHL Iowa this season, providing four goals and eight points in 10 games at that level, and even when he is with Minnesota, the forward sometimes serves as a healthy scratch.
