Wallstedt stopped 22 of 25 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
Wallstedt is winless in his last five appearances, giving up 13 goals on 127 shots in that span. While he's now playing poorly, he hasn't been good enough to get results, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Filip Gustavsson get a heavier workload down the stretch. Wallstedt is now 14-7-6 with a 2.78 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 28 appearances this season.

Wallstedt is expected to feature in the crease for Sunday's home clash with Toronto, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wallstedt will get the nod Sunday after Filip Gustavsson goes against the Rangers at home Saturday. The 23-year-old Wallstedt is currently mired in a three-game losing streak during which he has posted a 0-1-2 record, 2.85 GAA and .910 save percentage.

Wallstedt will patrol the home crease versus Philadelphia on Thursday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wallstedt will make his second start in the last three games, after giving up two goals on 36 shots in a 3-2 shootout loss in Colorado on Sunday. Wallstedt is 14-6-5 with four shutouts, a 2.81 GAA and a .911 save percentage across 26 contests this season. The Flyers are 25th in NHL scoring, averaging 2.81 goals per game.

Wallstedt stopped 34 of 36 shots in regulation and overtime and two of four shootout attempts in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
The young netminder came up with a number of big stops, but he couldn't deny Nathan MacKinnon in the fourth round of the shootout. Wallstedt has begun to find his form again while working as Filip Gustavsson's backup, allowing three goals or fewer in three of his last four starts dating back to Jan. 27. However, since the calendar flipped to 2026, Wallstedt has gone 3-4-2 in 10 outings with a 3.92 GAA and an .882 save percentage.

Wallstedt will start Sunday's game against the Avalanche, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wallstedt is getting the net after sitting in favor of Filip Gustavsson for the Wild's last three contests. That's the longest stretch in which Wallstedt hasn't played since early November. He'll check back in for a daunting matchup against the league-leading Avalanche, who have won four straight games. The 23-year-old has a 14-6-4 record with a 2.86 GAA and a .910 save percentage on the year.

Wallstedt allowed five goals on 37 shots in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Mammoth.
EDGE Analysis
Wallstedt gave up the first three goals of the game, and that was too big a deficit for the Wild to overcome. The 23-year-old has allowed 27 goals on 195 shots over his last seven outings (six starts), so the Wild's defense hasn't exactly been limiting the shots he faces. For the season, he's 14-6-4 with a 2.85 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 25 appearances. Assuming Filip Gustavsson is feeling close to 100 percent after a recent illness, Wallstedt is likely to be back on the bench for Sunday's game versus the Blues.

Wallstedt will guard the road goal versus the Mammoth on Friday, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wallstedt will get the second half of a back-to-back. He was pressed into duty late in Thursday's win over the Avalanche after Filip Gustavsson (illness) was unable to finish the contest. Gustavsson is feeling well enough to back up, so the Wild should be able to establish some kind of rotation to keep Wallstedt playing regularly moving forward.

Wallstedt gave up a goal on two shots in relief of Filip Gustavsson (illness) in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Luckily for Wallstedt, that mop-up duty was just metaphorical -- Gustavsson became ill in the crease late in the third period. Wallstedt gave up a goal while coming in cold, but that won't be held against him. The 23-year-old will likely get the nod for Friday's game in Utah, though it's unclear if Gustavsson will be feeling well enough to back up for that contest.

Wallstedt (illness) won't be in the lineup for Team Sweden's game against Italy on Wednesday at the 2026 Winter Olympics, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wallstedt missed Minnesota's 6-5 overtime win over Nashville last Wednesday. However, he was available for Sweden for the start of the Olympics, according to Bill Price of NHL.com. Wallstedt has a 14-5-4 record, 2.72 GAA and .913 save percentage in 23 outings with the Wild in 2025-26. Filip Gustavsson is set to start for Sweden on Wednesday.

Wallstedt (illness) is not with the team ahead of Wednesday's road matchup with Nashville, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wallstedt will have some extra time to return to full health before joining Team Sweden at the 2026 Winter Olympics. The Tre Kronor could use fellow Wild netminder Filip Gustavsson against Italy next Wednesday. However, Wallstedt has put himself in a good position to see minutes at some point during the tournament.
