Game Preview: Islanders at Wild | New York Islanders The Islanders face the wild in the second game of a seven-game road trip (8PM EST, MSGSN)

1 HOUR AGO • NHL.COM

Charlie Stramel - Three-point game for Spartans Stramel scored twice and added an assist in Michigan State University's 6-2 win over Ohio State University on Friday.

Impact Stramel is now at 10 goals and 13 helpers over 18 appearances this season for the Spartans. The Wild prospect is four points shy of matching his junior-year total, which is his best collegiate season so far. Given his continued progress on offense this year, it seems likely the 21-year-old will put pen to paper on an entry-level deal after MSU's season ends.

Wild recover, defeat Kraken in OT after blowing 2-goal lead in 3rd | NHL.com Zuccarello wins it at 2:09, Kaprizov has 2 assists for Minnesota; Seattle pushes point streak to 10

23 HOURS AGO • NHL.COM

Kirill Kaprizov - Collects pair of assists Kaprizov registered two assists, four shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kraken.

Impact Kaprizov had gone five games without a multi-point effort prior to Thursday. The winger set up Ryan Hartman's opening goal five minutes into the first period, and he also assisted Mats Zuccarello on the game-winner at 2:09 of overtime. Kaprizov is up to 51 points (24 goals, 27 helpers) with 158 shots on net, 23 hits and a plus-7 rating over 45 appearances. He's a little behind the pace he'd need for a 100-point campaign, but he's still producing at an elite rate.

Ryan Hartman - Opens scoring Thursday Hartman scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kraken.

Impact Hartman has scored in consecutive contests after being limited to one assist over his previous six games. The 31-year-old could be getting a bump in usage if Joel Eriksson Ek (undisclosed) misses time with the injury he sustained Thursday. Hartman is now at 11 goals, 18 points, 78 shots on net, 38 hits, 46 blocked shots, 19 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 41 appearances. He missed the 30-point mark in 2024-25 but looks set to return to that level this season.

Mats Zuccarello - Nets game-winner in overtime Zuccarello scored a goal on three shots, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kraken.

Impact Zuccarello's tally came at 2:09 of overtime on a feed from Kirill Kaprizov. The 38-year-old Zuccarello has three goals and three assists over his last seven outings, showing he can still offer quality offense in a top-six role. He's up to five goals, 20 points, 50 shots on net and a minus-2 rating across 25 appearances this season, though he carries a fairly high injury risk given his age and history.

23 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Brock Faber - Pair of points in overtime win Faber scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kraken.

Impact Faber has two goals and five points over his last three games. The 23-year-old defenseman continues to provide steady offense and blocked shots in a top-pairing role alongside Quinn Hughes. Faber is up to 10 goals, 26 points, 97 shots on net, 104 blocks and a plus-12 rating over 45 appearances.

23 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jesper Wallstedt - Prevails in overtime Wallstedt stopped 26 of 28 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kraken.

Impact After losing his last two starts past regulation time, Wallstedt got the better of the Kraken in the extra session Thursday. The 23-year-old also allowed fewer than three goals for the first time in five outings. Wallstedt is up to 12-2-4 with a 2.28 GAA and a .928 save percentage over 18 starts. Should the Wild continue to alternate goalies, Filip Gustavsson is lined up for Saturday's home game versus the Islanders, while Wallstedt would draw the floundering Devils on Monday, also at home.

Joel Eriksson Ek - Gets injured in collision Eriksson Ek sustained an undisclosed injury when he got tangled up with another player near the bench during Thursday's game versus the Kraken, Michael Russo of The Athletic report...

Impact Eriksson Ek left the game in the second period. Head coach John Hynes wasn't overly concerned about the injury, labeling Eriksson Ek as day-to-day. His status for Saturday versus the Islanders is uncertain, but it doesn't appear to be a long-term concern even if he misses a couple of contests.

David Jiricek - Sent down Thursday Jiricek was demoted to AHL Iowa on Thursday.

Impact Jiricek's reassignment provides the team with the necessary roster space to activate Daemon Hunt (undisclosed) from injured reserve. In 18 games for the Wild, the 22-year-old Jiricek failed to generate a point while producing 11 shots, 12 PIM and five hits while averaging 12:08 of ice time.

Daemon Hunt - Set to return Thursday Hunt (undisclosed) will be taken off injured reserve and play Thursday in Seattle, per Sarah McLellan of The Minnesota Star Tribune.

Impact Hunt hasn't been in the lineup since Dec. 16. He has two assists, four PIM, 11 hits and 18 blocks in 12 outings in 2025-26. Matt Kiersted might be a healthy scratch Thursday due to Hunt's return.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Tyler Pitlick - Put on waivers Pitlick was placed on waivers by the Wild on Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Pitlick managed only one goal in 23 games and was a healthy scratch in each of the Wild's last nine games. Should he pass through waivers, look for Pitlick to be sent to AHL Iowa.

Jesper Wallstedt - Expected starter for Thursday Wallstedt is expected to start on the road against Seattle on Thursday, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic.

Impact Wallstedt has an 11-2-4 record, 2.30 GAA and .926 save percentage in 17 outings in 2025-26. While he's having a great campaign, he's working through a rough patch in which he's allowed 14 goals on 133 shots (.895 save percentage) across his past four appearances. Seattle ranks 25th in goals per game with 2.78.

Zach Bogosian - Unavailable for Thursday Bogosian (undisclosed) returned to Minnesota on Wednesday, so he won't play Thursday in Seattle, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.

Impact Bogosian also missed Monday's 4-2 loss to the Kings. He has a goal and four points in 23 appearances in 2025-26. The 35-year-old might still be an option for the Wild's home game against the Islanders on Saturday.
