Wallstedt was recalled from AHL Iowa on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Wallstedt struggled at the NHL level early in the season, going 0-2-0, allowing eight goals on 51 shots (.843 save percentage). The 22-year-old, who is considered the Wild's goaltender of the future, went 9-14-4 with a 3.59 GAA and an .879 save percentage across 27 AHL appearances. He will be the third goaltender as Filip Gustavsson will start with Marc-Andre Fleury as his backup, barring any injuries, through the playoffs.

Wallstedt (undisclosed) gave up two goals on 32 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout defeat to AHL Texas.

EDGE Analysis

Wallstedt was back in action for the first time since suffering his undisclosed injury back in late December. With the 22-year-old youngster fit again, he should be available if needed by Minnesota -- though it would likely take an injury to Filip Gustavsson or Marc-Andre Fleury for Wallstedt to be promoted to the NHL roster.

Wallstedt has missed the last five games for AHL Iowa due to an undisclosed injury, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Wallstedt's injury normally wouldn't have been a big deal for Minnesota fans but with Marc-Andre Fleury (illness) questionable against the Avalanche on Thursday, the team may have to use an emergency backup goalie as the No. 2 option behind Filip Gustavsson due to a lack of viable options. Considering the organization decided to sign Dylan Ferguson to a two-way deal Tuesday, fantasy managers probably shouldn't be expecting Wallstedt's absence to be a short-term issue.

Wallstedt was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Wallstedt struggled in his start Saturday against the Jets, allowing five goals on 24 shots in a 5-0 defeat. With Filip Gustavsson (lower body) expected to be back Monday, Wallstedt will return to the AHL where he's gone 5-6-1 with an .874 save percentage this season.

Wallstedt stopped 19 of 24 shots in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Wallstedt has lost both of his NHL appearances this season. He's given up eight goals on 51 shots. The Wild didn't do him any favors Saturday, failing to score on their 19 shots against Connor Hellebuyck in the contest. Wallstedt continues to serve as backup to Marc-Andre Fleury while Filip Gustavsson (lower body) is on the mend. The Wild have one more game before the holiday break, Monday at home versus the Blackhawks, so it's unclear when Wallstedt might see his next action.

Wallstedt will start Saturday's road game in Winnipeg, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marc-Andre Fleury took a narrow 2-1 loss to Utah on Friday, so Wallstedt will work the second half of a back-to-back. In his season debut last Sunday, Wallstedt stopped 24 of 27 shots in a 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights. He's also struggled in the AHL, but the Wild will continue to give the top prospect some looks until Filip Gustavsson (lower body) can play again.

Wallstedt gave up three goals on 27 shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Victor Olofsson tallied twice and Shea Theodore had the other goal to send Wallstedt to the loss in his NHL season debut. He was called up after Saturday's game versus the Flyers because Filip Gustavsson (lower body) is dealing with an injury. Wallstedt is one of the best goalie prospects, but he has struggled at the AHL level this year, so he likely still needs more development time, which he should get once Gustavsson is back to 100 percent.

Wallstedt will patrol the home crease versus the Golden Knights on Sunday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wallstedt has a 5-6-1 record with a 3.77 GAA and an .874 save percentage in 12 AHL appearances this season. The 22-year-old Wallstedt will get the second half of Minnesota's back-to-back because Filip Gustavsson (undisclosed) is unavailable, and Marc-Andre Fleury played in Saturday's 4-1 win over Philadelphia. Vegas ranks fifth in the league with 3.47 goals per game in 2024-25 and lost 6-3 to Edmonton on Saturday.

Wallstedt was called up from AHL Iowa on Saturday under emergency conditions.

EDGE Analysis

Wallstedt's emergency recall indicates there may be some concern with one of Filip Gustavsson or Marc-Andre Fleury, but nothing has been reported. Jakub Lauko (lower body) was placed on injured reserve to clear a roster spot. Wallstedt has not played in the NHL in 2024-25 and has struggled to a 3.77 GAA and an .874 save percentage over 12 outings with Iowa this season.

Wallstedt was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Wallstedt was recalled Tuesday and returned to the minors after being a healthy scratch in Minnesota's 3-2 overtime win against Vancouver. His brief stint in the NHL might have just been for developmental purposes to give him a chance to work with the big club, especially because Iowa is off until Saturday anyway. The 22-year-old has a 4.34 GAA and an .860 save percentage in 10 outings with Iowa in 2024-25.
