Wild vs. Oilers Prediction, Odds, Picks - Dec. 20

Ben Jones - Heads to minors Jones was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Friday.

Impact Jones successfully cleared waivers, but unlike others who end up on the wire, it wasn't immediately clear if he'd be demoted after going unclaimed. He did play in Thursday's 5-2 victory over Columbus, recording two shots over 7:02 of ice time. His demotion also brings the Wild down to 11 healthy forwards on their active roster -- 10 if Marcus Johansson (lower body) can't play Saturday versus Edmonton. However, Minnesota has time to promote forwards before its upcoming game against the Oilers.

Carson Lambos - Sent back down Lambos was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Friday.

Impact Lambos was called up Wednesday, and he made his NHL debut during Thursday's 5-2 win over Columbus. He recorded a blocked shot and a plus-1 rating in 10:16 of ice time, but he'll head back to the minors a day later, signaling that at least one of Minnesota's injured defensemen could be cleared to suit up Saturday against the Oilers.

Jesper Wallstedt - Starter for Sunday Wallstedt will be between the pipes versus Colorado on Sunday, according to Joe Smith of The Athletic.

Impact Wallstedt is 10-1-2 with a 1.96 GAA and a .936 save percentage this season across 13 starts. He picked up his lone regulation loss Dec. 6 in Vancouver, allowing four goals on 21 shots, but he has come back nicely with a pair of wins while allowing four goals on 65 shots. The Avalanche lead the league in scoring, averaging 4.03 goals per game.

Vladimir Tarasenko - Puts away goal in win Tarasenko scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Tarasenko has four goals and three assists over his last six outings. He's seeing bigger minutes right now due to a handful of injury absences, but his ice time could shrink if Marcus Johansson (lower body) is able to return Saturday versus the Oilers. Tarasenko has 17 points, 54 shots on net, 23 hits and a minus-1 rating over 28 appearances this season.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Ryan Hartman - Strikes on power play Hartman scored a power-play goal on three shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Hartman has three goals, all on the power play, and a pair of even-strength assists over his last four games. The 31-year-old continues to play a key middle-six role for the Wild, especially as the team navigates a tough patch of injuries. He's up to a total of seven goals, 13 points, 62 shots on net, 31 hits, 33 blocked shots, 17 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 31 appearances this season.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Marcus Johansson - Questionable for Saturday's game Johansson (lower body) is considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Oilers, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Johansson has missed the last two games due to his lower-body injury, but he could return to action before the holiday break. He was riding a four-game point streak prior to his absence, recording three goals, three assists, three hits, a blocked shot and a plus-7 rating while averaging 15:17 of ice time.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Zach Bogosian - Out for Saturday Bogosian (lower body) will miss his third straight game Saturday against Edmonton, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports Friday.

Impact Bogosian has one goal and one assist in 17 games this season. The defenseman is considered day-to-day and could return as early as Sunday against Colorado.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Filip Gustavsson - Set to start Saturday Gustavsson is slated to start Saturday's home game against the Oilers, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

Impact Gustavsson is riding a four-game winning streak in which he's posted a 1.25 GAA and .949 save percentage. He'll face a tough test against the Oilers, who rank third in the NHL with 3.40 goals per game.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

David Spacek - Sent back down Spacek was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Friday.

Impact Spacek was called up Thursday, but he didn't appear in Minnesota's matchup against Columbus. He'll head back to the minors a day later, which signals that the Wild could get some of their injured players back in the mix over the weekend.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Nicolas Aube-Kubel - Sent down Friday Aube-Kubel was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Friday.

Impact Aube-Kubel appeared in four games for Minnesota over the past week, racking up an assist, six PIM, four hits and four blocked shots while averaging 12:08 of ice time. His demotion to the minors signals that the Wild could be on the cusp of getting some injured skaters back in the mix, while Aube-Kubel should have more consistent opportunities to contribute with the AHL club.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Yakov Trenin - Two helpers in Thursday's win Trenin pocketed two assists while adding four hits, one shot on net and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact The 28-year-old had a hand in tallies by Vladimir Tarasenko in the second period and Joel Eriksson Ek in the third, the latter proving to be the game-winner. It was Trenin's first multi-point effort of the season as he took advantage of a top-six assignment in the absence of Marcus Johansson (lower body), and on the season the former Predator has produced two goals and 10 points in 35 games with an NHL-leading 168 hits.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Joel Eriksson Ek - Two points including GWG Eriksson Ek scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Thursday's 5-2 victory over Columbus.

Impact The 28-year-old center jammed home a rebound midway through the third period to break open a 2-2 tie. Eriksson Ek extended his point streak to six games in the process, a stretch in which he's collected four goals and 10 points with a stunning plus-10 rating -- a far cry from his prior seven contests, when he managed only one assist with a minus-1 rating.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Matt Boldy - Three points in Thursday's win Boldy produced a goal and two assists in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact All three points came in the third period as the Wild put the game away. Boldy has found the back of the net in three straight contests and has gotten onto the scoresheet in six of the last seven, delivering five goals and 12 points over that sizzling stretch.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Kirill Kaprizov - Three-point effort in Columbus Kaprizov scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact The 28-year-old winger found Ryan Hartman for an easy tap-in goal to get Minnesota on the board midway through the second period, before Kaprizov and Matt Boldy set up each other's empty-netters late in the third. It was Kaprizov's second three-point performance in the last three games, and he has yet to go more than two games in a row without getting onto the scoresheet this season, racking up 22 goals -- third in the NHL behind Nathan MacKinnon and Morgan Geekie -- and 41 points in 35 games.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jesper Wallstedt - Secures 10th win Wallstedt made 27 saves in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact The game was tight through two periods, but the Wild blew things open in the third while Wallstedt turned aside all 10 shots he saw in the final frame. The 23-year-old netminder continues to dazzle, posting a 10-1-2 record through 13 starts this season with a 1.96 GAA and .936 save percentage, but those numbers have only been good enough to earn him a timeshare alongside Filip Gustavsson, who's also been locked in (7-1-2 over his last 10 starts with a 1.67 GAA and .935 save percentage).
