Michael McCarron - Dealt to Wild McCarron was traded from the Predators to the Wild in exchange for a 2028 second-round pick, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.

Impact McCarron was a late scratch from Nashville's lineup ahead of Tuesday's game prior to the trade being announced. The 30-year-old forward has five goals, 12 points, 86 shots on net, 165 hits and 65 blocked shots across 59 games this season. The 6'6" center will bolster Minnesota's depth up the middle of the ice and will provide physicality from a role anywhere in the Wild's bottom nine. With the Wild making a push towards the top of the Central Division, McCarron is in line to benefit from the team's lethal offense, giving him a slight boost in fantasy formats.

Matt Kiersted - Dropped to AHL Kiersted was assigned to AHL Iowa on Tuesday.

Impact Minnesota activated Jonas Brodin (lower body) in a corresponding move. Kiersted has one assist, four shots on goal and five blocked shots in four NHL outings this season. He also has one goal and seven points in 33 AHL appearances during the 2025-26 campaign.

Jonas Brodin - Playing against Bolts Brodin (lower body) will be in the lineup to face Tampa Bay on Tuesday, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

Impact Brodin will be back in the lineup for the first time since Jan. 12 versus the Devils, a stretch of 14 games on injured reserve. While the veteran defenseman certainly missed plenty of time, it could have been worse if not for the Olympic break. Broding is currently in the midst of a 16-game goal drought but has managed six helpers over that stretch, including one with the man advantage.

Filip Gustavsson - Tending twine Tuesday Gustavsson will protect the home net against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Gustavsson stopped 21 of the 23 shots he faced in Sunday's 3-1 loss to St. Louis, with the third goal being an empty-netter. He has a 21-10-6 record during the 2025-26 campaign with three shutouts, a 2.58 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 38 appearances. Tampa Bay ranks second in the league with 3.53 goals per game this season.

Marcus Foligno - Still having injury evaluated Head coach John Hynes said Tuesday that Foligno (lower body) is week-to-week, according to Joe Smith of The Athletic.

Impact Hynes also noted that Foligno's injury is not season-ending, but the veteran winger is set to have his injury evaluated by another doctor Tuesday. Robby Fabbri, who was claimed off waivers by the Wild on Monday, will probably play regularly for the duration of Foligno's absence.

Tyler Pitlick - Waived by team Pitlick was placed on waivers by the Wild on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Pitlick's designation for waivers comes as the Wild claimed Robby Fabbri from the Blues in a corresponding move Monday. At this point, Pitlick will likely need an injury or two to pop up among Minnesota's forward group to earn his way back onto the NHL roster.

Robby Fabbri - Claimed by Minnesota Fabbri was claimed off waivers by the Wild on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Fabbri was waived by the Blues on Sunday, but he'll find a new home a day later, while Tyler Pitlick was waived by Minnesota in a corresponding move. Over 15 appearances with St. Louis this year, Fabbri has recorded a goal, three assists, 34 hits, 12 PIM and eight blocked shots while averaging 12:36 of ice time.

Marcus Foligno - Designated for IR Foligno (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Even with a retroactive designation, Foligno will have to miss at least the next two games due to his lower-body injury, though the team hasn't offered a clear recovery timeline for the winger. Both Tyler Pitlick and Ben Jones should be in contention to see minutes with Foligno on the shelf.

Kirill Kaprizov - Strikes on power play again Kaprizov scored a power-play goal on five shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Blues.

Impact Kaprizov opened the scoring at 16:09 of the second period, though the Blues answered less than two minutes later. This was Kaprizov's second straight game with a power-play goal. He's earned six goals and four assists during a seven-game point steak, with six of those points coming with the man advantage. Kaprizov is up to 34 goals, 74 points (28 on the power play), 215 shots and a plus-8 rating over 61 appearances.

Filip Gustavsson - Takes close loss Gustavsson stopped 21 of 23 shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Blues. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Gustavsson couldn't keep the game tied late in the third period, with Pavel Buchnevich scoring the winner with 3:39 to go. This performance ended Gustavsson's four-game winning streak, though it was still a decent effort. He's now at a 21-10-6 record with a 2.58 GAA and a .909 save percentage over 38 appearances. The Wild have alternated goalies at times but weren't doing so in January, so it remains to be seen if Gustavsson will claim a majority of the starts over Jesper Wallstedt as the team looks to solidify its place in the standings.
