Provides assist Brodin posted an assist, two shots on goal, a pair of blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
Impact Brodin set up Kirill Kaprizov for the opening tally at 12:33 of the first period. The 27-year-old Brodin has a goal and an assist in four games since he was activated from the NHL's COVID-19 protocol. He's up to eight points, 29 shots on net, a plus-7 rating and 27 blocked shots through 15 appearances. A steady defender, Brodin's best path to fantasy relevance is in formats that reward non-scoring production.

Slides assist in win Suter notched an assist, three hits and two shots on goal in Friday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
Impact Suter set up Nick Bjugstad for the Wild's second of three goals in a span of 3:03 during the first period. The helper snapped a six-game point drought for Suter. The 36-year-old blueliner has just seven assists, 29 shots on net and 21 blocked shots through 17 contests this season.

Collects helper Spurgeon posted an assist, three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
Impact Spurgeon was fairly steady defensively and also helped out on Nick Bjugstad's first-period tally. The assist gave Spurgeon four helpers through 16 contests this year. He's added 31 shots on net, 26 blocks, 16 hits and a minus-3 rating in an unusually quiet start to the campaign for the 31-year-old blueliner. Spurgeon's struggles can likely be tied to the Wild's power play firing at just an 8.3 percent success rate -- he had 13 of his 32 points with the man advantage last year.

Posts assist in win Greenway notched an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
Impact Greenway set up Joel Eriksson Ek in the first period, closing a run of three goals in 3:03 for the Wild. The 24-year-old Greenway has collected two goals, 10 helpers, 23 shots on net, 24 hits and 24 PIM through 17 outings in 2020-21. His step forward on offense this year has earned him top-six minutes in recent games, and a rough playing style should keep him on the fantasy radar even if his scoring rate dips.

Notches helper Friday Fiala posted an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
Impact Fiala collected the secondary helper on linemate Joel Eriksson Ek's first-period tally, which gave the Wild a 3-0 lead at the time. The 24-year-old Fiala has six goals and two assists through 14 contests this season. He's added 49 shots on net, 27 PIM and a minus-2 rating in a top-six role.

Assist keeps point streak alive Zuccarello notched an assist and four shots on goal in Friday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
Impact Zuccarello extended his point streak to five games with the secondary helper on Kirill Kaprizov's opening tally. In that span, Zuccarello has amassed three goals and seven helpers. The Norwegian winger is thriving in a top-six role for the Wild, and his return seems to have revitalized the team's offense as a whole. The 33-year-old will eventually cool off from this impressive pace, but he should be a steady contributor.

Buries game-winner Friday Bjugstad scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
Impact Bjugstad tallied at 14:31 of the first period to extend the Wild's lead to 2-0. His goal stood as the game-winner as the Kings only got one puck past Cam Talbot in the contest. The 28-year-old Bjugstad has picked up points in each of his last two games. He's at five points, 37 shots on net, 19 hits and a plus-3 rating through 17 outings.

Tallies in Friday's win Eriksson Ek scored a goal in Friday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
Impact Since the Wild resumed their season, Eriksson Ek has scored twice in six games. He was much better before a COVID-19 outbreak among the team put their schedule on pause -- overall, the Swede has seven goals, 11 points and a plus-10 rating through 17 appearances. That's earned him top-line usage at times, but Eriksson Ek's high mark in points is 29, set in 62 outings last year.

Point streak up to four games Kaprizov scored a goal in Friday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
Impact Kaprizov opened the scoring at 12:33 of the first period. His goal sparked a rally for the Wild, which saw them score twice more in the next 3:03. He's up to a four-game point streak, during which the Russian winger has two tallies and five helpers. The 23-year-old has 16 points, 28 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 17 contests.

Victorious in return to action Talbot made 27 saves on 28 shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
Impact Talbot made his first start since Feb. 2, and he didn't seem to have any lingering rust. Only a Jeff Carter goal late in the third period spoiled his shutout. The 33-year-old Talbot improved to 4-2-0 with a 2.19 GAA and a .926 save percentage through seven appearances. While Talbot was out, Kaapo Kahkonen played pretty well, so the Wild's goaltending situation could edge closer to a timeshare than initially expected at the start of the year. It'll likely be Kahkonen starting with Talbot backing up in Saturday's rematch with the Kings.
