Guarding cage versus Kings Wallstedt will patrol the crease for Monday's home clash against Los Angeles, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

Impact Wallstedt will take the first game of the Wild's back-to-back, which means Filip Gustavsson should get the nod on the road versus Dallas on Tuesday. It will be the season debut for the 22-year-old Wallstedt. Last season, the Swede appeared in just two regular-season games for Minnesota, going 0-2-0 with a 4.10 GAA. Even as the No. 2 option for the Wild, Wallstedt should see significantly more opportunities in 2025-26.

Set to start versus Winnipeg Wallstedt will guard the home crease during Tuesday's preseason contest against the Jets, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

This will be the 22-year-old Wallstedt's third appearance of the preseason, as he has turned aside a combined 33 of 35 shots in his prior two outings. If he continues his strong showing in exhibition play Tuesday, Wallstedt has a good chance at earning the No. 2 gig behind Filip Gustavsson for the 2025-26 campaign.

Playing two periods Thursday Wallstedt will patrol the home crease versus Dallas on Thursday and play two periods, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic.

Impact Wallstedt is attempting to garner the backup goaltender position in Minnesota, behind first-stringer Filip Gustavsson. Wallstedt was considered the Wild's goaltender of the future heading into last season, but poor play in the 2024-25 campaign in which he was 0-2-0 while allowing eight goals on only 51 shots with Minnesota and a 9-14-4 mark with AHL Iowa, really hurt his value. Wallstedt will battle Cal Petersen for backup duty with the Wild heading into the regular season.

Called up from minors Wallstedt was recalled from AHL Iowa on Friday.

The 22-year-old, who is considered the Wild's goaltender of the future, went 9-14-4 with a 3.59 GAA and an .879 save percentage across 27 AHL appearances. He will be the third goaltender as Filip Gustavsson will start with Marc-Andre Fleury as his backup, barring any injuries, through the playoffs.

Suffers OT loss Wallstedt (undisclosed) gave up just two goals on 32 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout defeat to AHL Texas.

Impact Wallstedt was back in action for the first time since suffering his undisclosed injury back in late December. With the 22-year-old youngster fit again, he should be available if needed by Minnesota -- though it would likely take an injury to Filip Gustavsson or Marc-Andre Fleury for Wallstedt to be promoted to the NHL roster.

Dealing with undisclosed injury Wallstedt has missed the last five games for AHL Iowa due to an undisclosed injury, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports Thursday.

Impact Wallstedt's injury normally wouldn't have been a big deal for Minnesota fans but with Marc-Andre Fleury (illness) questionable against the Avalanche on Thursday, the team may have to use an EBUG as the No. 2 option behind Filip Gustavsson due to a lack of viable options. Considering the organization decided to sign Dylan Ferguson to a two-way deal Tuesday, fantasy players probably shouldn't;t be expecting Wallstedt's absence to be a short-term issue.

Reassigned to Iowa Wallstedt was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Sunday.

Impact Wallstedt struggled in his start Saturday against the Jets, allowing five goals on 24 shots in a 5-0 defeat. With Filip Gustavsson (lower body) expected to be back Monday, Wallstedt will return to the AHL where he's gone 5-6-1 with an .874 save percentage this season.

Gets no help in loss Wallstedt stopped 19 of 24 shots in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Jets.

Impact Wallstedt has lost both of his NHL appearances this season. He's given up eight goals on 51 shots. The Wild didn't do him any favors Saturday, failing to score on their 19 shots against Connor Hellebuyck in the contest. Wallstedt continues to serve as backup to Marc-Andre Fleury while Filip Gustavsson (lower body) is on the mend. The Wild have one more game before the holiday break, Monday at home versus the Blackhawks, so it's unclear when Wallstedt might see his next action.
