Khusnutdinov logged an assist and two blocked shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Khusnutdinov has two points and a plus-3 rating over his last five outings. The Wild are a little thin at forward, but the 22-year-old remains in a bottom-six role for now, as the team's center depth hasn't been impacted as heavily as the wings. Khusnutdinov is up to six points, 27 shots on net, 37 hits, 31 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 52 appearances. It's unlikely he'll produce offense at a fantasy-relevant level for redraft formats in 2024-25.

Khusnutdinov scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Khusnutdinov ended a 15-game dry spell with the opening tally 7:07 into the first period of Wednesday's contest. The 22-year-old continues to play in a fourth-line role, and while he's stuck in the lineup, the lack of offense has made him a non-factor in fantasy. For the season, Khusnutdinov is at five points -- one more than he had in 16 outings in 2023-24 -- while adding 25 shots on net, 36 hits, 29 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 48 appearances.

Khusnutdinov was held off the scoresheet for the 13th consecutive game in Thursday's 4-0 loss to Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Khusnutdinov was not alone in futility Thursday, but he has done little while operating in a fourth-line role this season. He's at four points over 45 contests -- matching his total from 16 games in 2023-24. He's added just 22 shots on net, 35 hits, 26 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating in 2024-25. Khusnutdinov didn't see much extra ice time while the Wild were missing several key players earlier in January, and his role could potentially even shrink as the team gets healthier.

Khusnutdinov produced an assist in Monday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Khusnutdinov has just two points over his last 13 outings, though he has played regularly in a bottom-six role while Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) has been out. Through 32 outings overall, Khusnutdinov has contributed a meager four points with 13 shots on net, 28 hits and 22 blocked shots over 32 contests.

Khusnutdinov scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Khusnutdinov tied the game at 1-1 in the second period with an unassisted tally. The 22-year-old center snapped a 15-game point drought with the goal, which was his first of the season. He has just three points, 11 shots on net, 23 hits, 19 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 25 appearances. Khusnutdinov has been limited to bottom-six minutes for a stronger-than-expected forward group, so he has minimal fantasy value in redraft formats.

Khusnutdinov (lower body) is set to play Friday versus Chicago, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Khusnutdinov missed the Wild's previous three games. He has two assists, 18 hits and 15 blocks in 19 appearances in 2024-25. Travis Boyd, who dressed Wednesday, is expected to be a healthy scratch against the Blackhawks due to Khusnutdinov's return.

Khusnutdinov (lower body) will be unavailable for Wednesday's game against the Sabres, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Khusnutdinov will be unavailable for a third consecutive game due to a lower-body injury, but it appears as though he's day-to-day since he was a game-time decision for Monday's game against Winnipeg. Devin Shore, Ben Jones and Travis Boyd are slated to occupy the fourth line Wednesday since Khusnutdinov and Jakub Lauko (lower body) are both expected to be sidelined.

Khusnutdinov (lower body) will miss Monday's home matchup against Winnipeg, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Khusnutdinov will miss his second straight game -- the 22-year-old was a game-time decision Monday, so that may suggest his lower-body injury isn't overly serious. Ben Jones will occupy the fourth-line center role versus the Jets. Khusnutdinov's next chance to suit up will be in Buffalo on Wednesday.

Khusnutdinov (lower body) is officially considered a game-time decision versus Winnipeg on Monday, though he didn't participate in line rushes at the morning skate, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The fact that Khusnutdinov didn't have a spot in Minnesota's line combinations at the morning skate should be a good indication that he won't be in action Monday even with head coach John Hynes calling him a game-time decision. Fantasy managers will have to wait for warmups for official confirmation regarding the forward's status, but probably they should prepare for Khusnutdinov to remain out of the lineup for a second consecutive game.

Khusnutdinov is a late scratch Saturday against Calgary because of a lower-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

Khusnutdinov has two assists, 18 hits and 15 blocks in 19 appearances in 2024-25. Minnesota will also be without the services of Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) following an injury he suffered against Edmonton on Thursday. Due to the absences of Khusnutdinov and Kaprizov, Travis Boyd will make his Wild debut, and Ben Jones will also draw into the lineup.
