GAME LOG
Calvin Pickard - Slated to face Chicago Pickard is set to start at home against Chicago for Saturday's preseason game, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.
Impact While goaltenders will sometimes serve in only half of an exhibition tilt, the intention is for Pickard to play the full 60 minutes. He had a 5-6-2 record, 3.68 GAA and .871 save percentage in 16 regular-season appearances with Edmonton in 2025-26. If Filip Gustavsson (hip) isn't available for the start of the campaign, then Pickard will likely enter the season as Jesper Wallstedt's understudy. However, Pickard might lose his roster spot once Gustavsson is healthy.

Charlie Stramel - Hopes to make case for roster spot Stramel hopes to make a case for a roster spot with Minnesota during camp, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
Impact Stramel was the 21st overall pick by the Wild in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, and he's spent the past two years playing for Michigan State University following a pair of seasons at the University of Wisconsin. Across 37 appearances during the 2025-26 campaign, Stramel recorded 19 goals, 25 assists and 32 PIM. He enters Minnesota's prospect camp as one of the team's most intriguing players, and making a strong impression could put him in the mix for an Opening Night roster spot.

SEPTEMBER 4 • Associated Press
Zach Bogosian - Expected to be good for camp Bogosian (lower body) is slated to be available for the start of training camp, per Michael Russo of The Athletic on Friday.
Impact Bogosian had two goals, six points, 18 PIM, 47 hits and 37 blocks in 41 regular-season appearances with Minnesota in 2025-26. The 36-year-old logged just 14:33 of ice time per game last year, which was his lowest average for a regular season since the start of his NHL career. Bogosian will likely enter the 2026-27 campaign as part of the third pairing, but he might end up occasionally serving as a healthy scratch.
SEPTEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Filip Gustavsson - Still recovering from offseason surgery Gustavsson is still recovering from his offseason surgery ahead of training camp, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Friday.
Impact While Gustavsson's teammates have moved past their injuries from late in the 2025-26 campaign, the netminder is still recovering from the procedure he underwent early in the offseason. The 28-year-old's recovery timetable isn't yet clear, and whether he'll be available for preseason action or the start of the regular season remains to be seen. Gustavsson lost out on playing time to Jesper Wallstedt late in the 2025-26 season, and Wallstedt will presumably have increased opportunities to earn the No. 1 goaltending job if Gustavsson is sidelined during camp, while Calvin Pickard will be available as a depth option.
SEPTEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Joel Eriksson Ek - Healthy ahead of training camp Eriksson Ek (heel) has skated hard recently and is healthy ahead of training camp, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Friday.
Impact Eriksson Ek missed the Wild's final five postseason games due to a heel injury, but he's back with the team ahead of training camp and isn't believed to be dealing with the injury a few weeks ahead of camp. Eriksson Ek appeared in 70 regular-season matchups last year, recording 19 goals, 32 assists, 106 hits, 34 blocked shots and 32 PIM while averaging 19:05 of ice time.
SEPTEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Jonas Brodin - Slated to be available for camp Brodin (lower body) has been skating and is expected to be fine for training camp, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Friday.
Impact Brodin missed Minnesota's final six playoff games due to the injury. He had four goals, 18 points, a plus-19 rating, 16 PIM, 10 hits and 126 blocks in 62 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. The 33-year-old should enter the upcoming campaign with a top-four role, but he hasn't logged more than 62 games in a single regular season over the past four years, so don't be surprised if he ends up spending part of 2026-27 on the shelf.
