The 31-year-old netminder has played exclusively in the minors for the past two campaigns. If he impresses during training camp, he could earn a two-way contract with Washington.

Recalled from minors Petersen was called up from AHL Iowa on Thursday, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic.

Impact Petersen will be the Wild's third goaltender in the playoffs, as Iowa finished in the basement of the AHL's Central Division and did not make the playoffs. Petersen had a 13-16-2 record with a 2.73 GAA and an .896 save percentage in 33 AHL games this season.

Cruises to AHL shutout Petersen posted a 14-save shutout in AHL Iowa's 4-0 win over Rockford on Saturday.

Impact Petersen is up to four shutouts this season. He improved to 12-15-2 with a 2.71 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 31 games. Petersen provides the Wild with goaltending depth, but he's unlikely to see significant NHL time.

Earns shutout for Iowa Petersen recorded a 28-save shutout in AHL Iowa's 2-0 win over Springfield on Friday.

Impact Petersen is up to three shutouts in 24 appearances this season. He's gone 9-14-0 with a 2.70 GAA and a .901 save percentage. While he's a veteran goalie, the Wild have been more than fine rolling with Filip Gustavsson and Jesper Wallstedt at the NHL level this season.

MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to AHL Iowa Petersen was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Thursday.

Impact Petersen backed up Filip Gustavsson the last two games, as Jesper Wallstadt was out of action with an illness. Petersen was 4-13-0 with a 2,82 GAA and an .897 save percentage at the AHL level before his recall.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Summoned from AHL Petersen was recalled from AHL Iowa on Monday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Petersen has a 4-13-0 record with a 2.82 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 17 minor-league appearances this season. With Jesper Wallstedt (illness) unlikely to suit up for Monday's home game against Montreal, Petersen will probably serve as Filip Gustavsson's backup.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Gets second shutout of 2025-26 Petersen logged a 30-save shutout in AHL Iowa's 3-0 win over Manitoba on Saturday.

Impact Petersen hasn't had much success this year, given his 3-9-0 record, but two of his wins have been shutouts. He's added a passable 2.63 GAA and .901 save percentage in 12 appearances. Petersen won't get a look at the NHL as long as Filip Gustavsson and Jesper Wallstedt both stay healthy, as Minnesota's duo has emerged as one of the best goaltending tandems in the league this year.

DECEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Shuts out Texas Petersen posted a 24-save shutout in AHL Iowa's 2-0 win over Texas on Saturday.

Impact Petersen earned his first shutout for Iowa, and it was his first win with the team. He's struggled early this season, allowing nine goals on 75 shots so far. Petersen is unlikely to see NHL action unless Filip Gustavsson or Jesper Wallstedt get hurt.

Waived by Minnesota Petersen was placed on waivers by the Wild on Sunday.

Starting in Dallas Peterson will start in Tuesday's road exhibition game versus the Stars, and the plan is for the netminder to play all three periods, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Petersen will don the Wild sweater for the first time after signing a one-year, $775,000 contract in free agency. The 30-year-old is competing with Jesper Wallstedt for the No. 2 gig behind Filip Gustavsson in training camp. Petersen struggled with AHL Lehigh Valley in 2024-25, posting a 13-15-3 record, .885 save percentage and 3.14 GAA, so he may not have the inside track to win the backup role in Minnesota.

Minnesota Wild Sign Goaltender Cal Petersen To A One-Year, One-Way Contract ST. PAUL, Minn - The Minnesota Wild announced the signing of goaltender Cal Petersen to a one-year, one-way contract worth $775,000.

JULY 2, 2025 • THEHOCKEYNEWS.COM

Signs one-year contract Petersen signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Wild on Wednesday, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.

Impact Petersen had a 3.14 GAA and an .885 save percentage across 31 regular-season appearances with AHL Lehigh Valley in 2024-25. Although he signed a one-way contract, the 30-year-old still has a tough battle ahead of him for the backup role in Minnesota behind Filip Gustavsson. The 22-year-old Jesper Wallstedt will also be fighting for the No. 2 spot during training camp and is favored to win the job. If Petersen loses that battle, he will probably be the first goaltender summoned in the event of an injury, though Petersen would have to clear waivers before he can be sent to the minors.

Assigned to AHL The Flyers assigned Petersen to AHL Lehigh Valley on Friday.

Impact Petersen was placed on waivers by the Flyers on Wednesday, and he'll officially head to the minors ahead of the regular season. He made 28 regular-season appearances for Philadelphia last year and posted a 2-2-0 record, 3.90 GAA and .864 save percentage.

Waived Wednesday Petersen was placed on waivers Wednesday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Impact Petersen had a 2.71 GAA and a .902 save percentage in 28 regular-season appearances with AHL Lehigh Valley. The 29-year-old netminder has a 46-44-10 record, 2.96 GAA and .903 save percentage across 106 career NHL games.

On waivers Petersen was put on waivers Wednesday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Impact Petersen has struggled with the Flyers, posting a 2-2-0 record, 3.90 GAA and .864 save percentage in five contests this year. If he clears waivers, the Flyers might send him to AHL Lehigh Valley and summon Felix Sandstrom to serve as Samuel Ersson's new understudy. It's also worth noting that Philadelphia doesn't play again until Friday versus Washington, so the Flyers could send Petersen briefly to the minors and still recall him in time for that contest.

Iced by Penguins Petersen turned aside 25 shots in Sunday's 7-6 loss to Pittsburgh.

Impact The Flyers grabbed an early 1-0 lead in the first period but were playing from behind most of the rest of the game, as any momentum they built got quickly undercut by another Penguins goal. Petersen has appeared in only three games since returning to the NHL in late January, going 1-1-0 and giving up 11 goals on 65 shots (.831 save percentage), and he's little threat to Samuel Ersson's hold on the No. 1 job in the crease.

Starting in Pittsburgh Petersen will defend the road goal Sunday versus the Penguins.

Impact Petersen will get the second half of Philadelphia's back-to-back after Samuel Ersson played in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers. The 29-year-old Petersen has stopped 89 of 100 shots in four appearances this season en route to a 2-1-0 record. Pittsburgh is tied for 21st in the league this campaign with 2.91 goals per contest.

Collects second win Saturday Petersen stopped 17 of 19 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Kraken.

Impact The Flyers' defensive structure helped shelter Petersen in his first action in two weeks. The 29-year-old twice allowed the Kraken to tie the game, but the third time was the charm for protecting a lead. Petersen has allowed 11 goals over four appearances while going 2-1-0 at the NHL level this season. Samuel Ersson figures to see most of the starts unless the Flyers can work out a trade for a goalie as they continue to defy expectations by contending in the Eastern Conference.

Facing Kraken Petersen will defend the home crease versus Seattle on Saturday, according to Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Impact Petersen will make his third start of the season. He last played in relief of Samuel Ersson on Jan. 27. stopping 12 of 14 shots in a 6-2 loss to the Bruins. Petersen is 1-1-0 with a 3.38 GAA and an .889 save percentage. The Kraken have averaged 2.78 goals, 27th in the NHL.

Needed in relief Saturday Petersen turned aside 12 of 14 shots after replacing Samuel Ersson to begin the second period of Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Bruins.

Impact In his first NHL action since Nov. 11, Petersen didn't play poorly, but the Flyers were already down 4-0 when he entered the game. Ersson is struggling heading into the All-Star break and Carter Hart (personal) is away from the team indefinitely, so Petersen could get a chance to carve out a bigger role once the Flyers resume play in February.

JANUARY 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from minors Petersen was summoned from AHL Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

Impact Petersen will occupy the backup role behind Samuel Ersson on Tuesday against Tampa Bay after Carter Hart (personal) was granted an indefinite leave of absence. The 29-year-old Petersen has stopped 60 of 67 shots in two NHL outings this campaign en route to a 1-1-0 record.

JANUARY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in AHL Petersen was reassigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

Impact The Flyers are off until Thursday after dropping a 7-6 shootout decision to Detroit on Friday. Petersen was with the team as an emergency backup as Carter Hart was iffy with an illness. Petersen was 4-6-1 with a 3.20 GAA and an .898 save percentage in 11 AHL games before his recall and was 1-1 in two NHL games with the Flyers.
