Jesper Wallstedt - NHL News & Rumors

Slated to face Oilers Wallstedt is expected to guard the road crease in Tuesday's clash against the Oilers, per Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton.

Impact Wallstedt is on a roll entering Tuesday's contest, as he earned his fourth consecutive win in Sunday's clash against the Blue Jackets. Overall, the 23-year-old backstop has been elite with a 6-1-1 record, a 1.99 GAA and a .921 save percentage across eight appearances. With Filip Gustavsson (hip) not expected to be back in the mix until late November, Wallstedt remains one of the top goalies in fantasy for the time being. He'll face a tough test Tuesday against Edmonton, but he should be started with confidence given his recent success.

Light work in win Wallstedt stopped 13 of 14 shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Wallstedt collected his fourth straight win in this outing, and he faced a season low in shots to do so. The 23-year-old has allowed just one goal in half of his eight outings this season. He's posted a 6-1-1 record with a 1.99 GAA and a .921 save percentage. Wallstedt is poised for at least another month unchallenged as the Wild's top goalie before Filip Gustavsson (hip) is in the mix to return to action. A road trip is up next as the Wild face a four-game week -- expect Wallstedt to start three of them, beginning with Tuesday's tough matchup against the Oilers.

Shaky late in win Wallstedt stopped 21 of 25 shots in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Blues.

Impact Wallstedt was able to hang on for the win despite giving up two goals over the final four minutes.

The 23-year-old is quickly working up to elite status among fantasy netminders. The Wild are back in action Sunday versus the Blue Jackets before embarking on a road trip.

Guarding home net Wallstedt will defend the home crease in Thursday's clash against the Blues, per Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News.

Impact Wallstedt continued his dominant start to the 2026-27 campaign Monday, where he posted a 21-save win over the Golden Knights. The 23-year-old netminder has a 4-1-1 record, a 1.82 GAA and a .933 save percentage across six appearances in the new season. For as long as Filip Gustavsson (hip) is sidelined, Wallstedt projects to be an elite fantasy option that sees multiple starts per week. Thursday's matchup won't be a cake walk, however, as the Blues put up seven goals against the Senators during Frozen Frenzy. Regardless, start Wallstedt with confidence Thursday.

Makes 21 saves in win Monday Wallstedt stopped 21 of 23 shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Wallstedt benefited from Minnesota's three-goal first period but still needed to protect a narrow lead after the Golden Knights mounted a comeback when they were down by three. Even though the young netminder surrendered goals in the second and third frames, he still did enough to earn the win while giving up two or fewer goals for the fourth time in his first six appearances. Through six starts, Wallstedt has gone 4-1-1 while saving 152 of 163 shots faced, good for a .932 save percentage. He's posted a save percentage of at least .910 in five of his six outings.

Takes overtime loss Wallstedt stopped 25 of 28 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sabres.

Impact Wallstedt carried a shutout and a 2-0 advantage into the third period before Buffalo rallied. Noah Ostlund and Tage Thompson scored 5:43 apart to force overtime, and Owen Power beat him with 37.4 seconds remaining in the extra frame to complete Buffalo's comeback. This was the first time Wallstedt allowed more than one goal in any of his three starts this season, and the 23-year-old should remain the undisputed No. 1 option between the posts for the Wild as long as Filip Gustavsson (hip) remains on injured reserve. In three starts, Wallstedt has stopped 70 of 75 shots faced.
