Zach Bogosian - Sidelined for Tuesday's game Bogosian (lower body) will not suit up at home versus Seattle on Tuesday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jeff Petry will remain in the lineup Tuesday as a result of Bogosian's absence. The 35-year-old Bogosian's next chance to play will be in a likely preview of a first-round playoff series against the Stars on Thursday.

Jesper Wallstedt - In goal Tuesday Wallstedt will be between the pipes at home against the Kraken on Tuesday, Kevin Falness of KFAN reports.

Impact Wallstedt has appeared in just two of the Wild's last seven contests, but he secured victories in both of those outings while recording a 1.50 GAA. With the team ending the year with a back-to-back, the 23-year-old netminder will likely get one more opportunity to feature before the postseason, when Filip Gustavsson will be in full control of the net.

Charlie Stramel - Secures ELC Monday Stramel signed a three-year, entry-level contract extension with the Wild on Monday.

Impact Stramel's three-year deal is set to begin in the 2026-27 season. The 21-year-old collegiate star excelled at Michigan State this season with 19 goals, 44 points, and a plus-29 rating across 37 appearances. He's currently in the recovery process from a broken ankle, which he sustained in Michigan State's NCAA quarterfinal loss against the University of Wisconsin. Once he's healthy, Stramel will look to compete for a roster spot with the Wild ahead of next season. Regardless, he holds solid value in dynasty-based fantasy formats given his scoring leap in college this season.

Sports betting roundup: Michigan favored against UConn in final game of March Madness

There’s only one game left in the college basketball season, with Michigan taking on UConn for the national championship on Monday night

1 DAY AGO • Associated Press

Daemon Hunt - No path to playing time yet Hunt was scratched for the 16th game in a row in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Hunt's path to playing time is currently blocked, though that could change if the Wild opt to rest some players ahead of the playoffs. The 23-year-old defenseman would otherwise need another blueliner to get hurt to open space for him in the lineup. Hunt has five helpers, 15 shots on net, 39 blocked shots and 19 hits over 29 appearances this season.

Mats Zuccarello - Stays hot with two helpers Zuccarello supplied two assists in Sunday's 5-4 win over Detroit.

Impact Zuccarello recorded his third consecutive multi-assist outing Sunday, which doubled as his fourth straight multi-point effort. Overall, the 38-year-old winger is up to 36 assists, 51 points, 120 shots on net and 26 blocked shots across 57 games this season. Zuccarello has not only been scorching offensively over his past few games, but has 21 points over his last 22 games. He is an integral part of Minnesota's offense and should continue to offer high-level fantasy production for the remainder of the regular season.

Vladimir Tarasenko - Lights lamp in win Tarasenko scored a goal and put two shots on net in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Tarasenko put the Wild up 3-1 midway through the second period for the team's third tally of the frame. Overall, he is up to 22 goals, 44 points, 138 shots on net, 59 hits and 30 blocked shots across 70 games this season. He's been a stable contributor for Minnesota's offense since the beginning of March with seven goals and 12 points over his last 15 games. He should continue to play a middle-six role for the Wild amidst their push for a higher seed in the Central Division before the playoffs, giving Tarasenko a solid floor for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

Ryan Hartman - Extends point streak to six Hartman distributed two assists in Sunday's 5-4 win over Detroit.

Impact Hartman stayed hot in Sunday's win with a helper on two consecutive goals for Minnesota in the second period. During the 31-year-old center's six-game point streak, he has six goals, 10 points and 17 shots on net. He's been a driving factor for the Wild during the team's recent run of wins. Hartman has 41 points across 73 games this season, securing 40-plus points for the third time in the last five seasons. He is one of the team streaming options in all league formats for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

Kirill Kaprizov - Posts hat trick, GWG Sunday Kaprizov tallied three goals, including the game-winning goal, and fired five shots on net in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Kaprizov played the hero in Sunday's contest with a pair of goals in the second period before tallying the game winner with less than two minutes remaining. With his first hat trick of the season, the 28-year-old winger is up to 43 goals, 87 points, 260 shots on net, 49 hits and 27 blocked shots across 75 games this season. His big night has him in a tie for third place with Edmonton's Connor McDavid on the NHL's goal leaderboard. While Kaprizov is unlikely to catch Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon or Montreal's Cole Caufield in pursuit of the Rocket Richard Trophy, he has a chance to tie or surpass his current career high of 47 goals, which he totaled across 81 regular-season games during the 2021-22 season.

Matt Boldy - Adds one of each in win Boldy scored a goal, recorded a power-play assist, placed three shots on net and had two blocked shots in Sunday's 5-4 win over Detroit.

Impact Boldy tallied his just 18 second into the second period before later sliding the primary helper on Kirill Kaprizov's game-winning goal. With the pair of points, Boldy is up to 41 goals, 40 assists, 244 shots on net, 58 hits and 57 blocked shots across 73 games this season. With Sunday's two-point outing, the 25-year-old winger has surpassed 80 points in a season for the first time in his career. He offers a bright outlook in fantasy for years to come and remains a strong option for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Filip Gustavsson - Hangs on for win Gustavsson stopped 18 of 22 shots on net in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Despite struggling in the third period, Gustavsson held on for Sunday's win to earn his seventh victory across his last 10 outings. Overall, the 27-year-old netminder is up to a 28-13-6 record, a 2.59 GAA and a .908 save percentage across 48 outings this season. He's been a big factor for the Wild's success this season and should continue to garner the majority of opportunities between the pipes during Minnesota's push for the second seed in the Central Division. Gustavsson holds strong value for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.
