Nico Sturm - Pots shortie in shootout loss Sturm scored a shorthanded goal and added two hits in Sunday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Sturm ended a 12-game point drought with the tally. The 30-year-old forward could be at risk of losing his place in the lineup once the Wild are healthier -- the team is missing Marcus Johansson (upper body) and Marcus Foligno (lower body) currently. Sturm has earned just 10 points with 31 shots on net, 44 hits and 16 blocked shots over 41 appearances.

Kirill Kaprizov - Strikes on power play Sunday Kaprizov scored a power-play goal on four shots, added two PIM and went minus-2 in Sunday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Kaprizov has scored in four of his last five games, and three of his four tallies in that span have come with the man advantage. The steady winger is up to 36 goals, 76 points (29 on the power play), 223 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 64 appearances. Kaprizov is likely to secure his fourth 40-goal campaign this year.

Jesper Wallstedt - Falls to Avs in shootout Wallstedt stopped 34 shots in regulation and overtime and two of four shootout attempts in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Colorado.

Impact The young netminder came up with a number of big stops, but he couldn't deny Nathan MacKinnon in the fourth round of the shootout. Wallstedt has begun to find his form again while working as Filip Gustavsson's backup, allowing three goals or fewer in three of his last four starts dating back to Jan. 27. However, since the calendar flipped to 2026, Wallstedt has gone 3-4-2 in 10 outings with a 3.92 GAA and .882 save percentage.

Jesper Wallstedt - In goal Sunday Wallstedt will start Sunday's game against the Avalanche in net, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Wallstedt is getting the net for the first time in four games, sitting in favor of Filip Gustavsson for the Wild's last three contests. That's the longest stretch that he hasn't played since early November. His first game back features a major challenge in the league-leading Avalanche, winners of four straight games. The 23-year-old has a 14-6-4 record with a 2.86 GAA and a .910 save percentage on the year.

Avalanche look to keep win streak alive, host the Wild

The Colorado Avalanche host the Minnesota Wild with a four win streak on the line

3 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Zach Bogosian - Rare goal in win Bogosian scored a goal and added two PIM in Friday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Bogosian's second goal of the season came at 8:07 of the second period, the middle tally of a three-goal burst in 3:07 for the Wild. The 35-year-old defenseman is filling a third-pairing role currently, and he may rotate out of the lineup occasionally if the Wild want to get a look at trade acquisition Jeff Petry. Bogosian is up to two goals, six points, 23 shots on net, 26 hits, 27 blocked shots and 12 PIM through 30 appearances this season, so he's not much of a factor for fantasy managers.

Vladimir Tarasenko - Adds insurance goal Tarasenko scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Tarasenko stretched the Wild's lead to 4-1 in the third period, snapping his four-game goal drought. The 34-year-old winger is in a third-line role, and with the Wild near full health up front, he's unlikely to get many additional opportunities to contribute. Tarasenko has 16 goals, 33 points, 108 shots on net and a minus-6 rating over 56 appearances this season, matching his point total from 80 regular-season contests a year ago with the Red Wings.

Mats Zuccarello - Cashes in on breakaway Zuccarello scored a goal in Friday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact A mishandled puck by Vegas turned into a breakaway for Zuccarello, who didn't miss on his lone shot in the game. The 38-year-old winger has three goals and two assists over five contests since the Olympic break as he continues to thrive in a top-line role. He's up to 12 goals, 38 points, 84 shots on net and a minus-4 rating through 43 appearances this season. Playmaking is more of his strong suit, but Zuccarello can chip in a decent share of goals as well.

Michael McCarron - Two points in team debut McCarron scored a goal, dished an assist, added two PIM and doled out three hits in Friday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact McCarron's first game with the Wild couldn't have gone much better. The 30-year-old was acquired from the Predators on Tuesday and slotted onto the fourth line in his Wild debut. That's likely where he'll stay moving forward, though he should still be a steady source of hits. He has earned six goals, 14 points, 87 shots on net, 168 hits, 60 blocked shots and 75 PIM over 60 appearances this season, matching his point total from 74 outings a year ago.

Filip Gustavsson - Makes 29 saves in win Gustavsson stopped 29 of 31 shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact This was Gustavsson's third win in four outings since the Olympics. He's given up just six goals on 124 shots in those contests as he continues to strengthen his grip on the No. 1 job between the pipes for the Wild. Gustavsson improved to 23-10-6 with a 2.53 GAA and a .911 save percentage through 40 appearances. The Wild have another tough matchup ahead as they're set to visit the Avalanche on Sunday. Gustavsson won in Colorado on Feb. 26, stopping 44 of 45 shots in a 5-2 victory while he was battling an illness.
