Danila Yurov Misses Second Straight Game

Minnesota Wild center Danila Yurov (undisclosed) will miss a second consecutive game on Thursday against the Calgary Flames. The 21-year-old was filling in as the first-line center when he suffered an undisclosed injury. He has notched seven points (three goals, four assists) in 21 games during his rookie campaign, including five points (one goal, four assists) in his last seven outings. Marco Rossi (lower body) is expected to miss at least three more games, putting pressure on Ryan Hartman to perform well. He took over the top-line center role on Tuesday night against the Edmonton Oilers.

Danila Yurov Won't Play on Tuesday

Minnesota Wild forward Danila Yurov (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against the Edmonton Oilers and is day-to-day, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports. Due to Minnesota's large number of injuries, Yurov has recently skated on the top line. He has tallied seven points (three goals, four assists) in 21 games during his rookie year. Ryan Hartman will move to the first line on Tuesday. His fantasy value gets a big boost from this, although Hartman has been a disappointment this season. Across 22 appearances, he has managed only four goals and eight points. Five of his points came in his first 10 outings.

Ryan Hartman Returns to Action Friday

Minnesota Wild forward Ryan Hartman (lower body) will return to the lineup for Friday's tilt against the Colorado Avalanche. He has missed four games due to a lower-body injury. It has been a tricky season for Hartman, who has tallied seven points (four goals, three assists) in 20 outings. In his last seven outings, he has managed to find a way to the score sheet only once. On Friday, Hartman will center the third line, as the Wild's frontline continues to miss Marco Rossi (lower body), Vladimir Tarasenko (lower body), Vinnie Hinostroza (lower body), and Marcus Foligno (lower body).

Marcus Foligno Exits With Injury Wednesday

Minnesota Wild left wing Marcus Foligno (lower body) missed the third period and overtime in Wednesday's win over the Chicago Blackhawks. He dished out three hits in 7:28 of ice time before leaving the game with a lower-body injury. After 23 appearances, Foligno has failed to score with 21 shots and has only two assists. However, he ranks 11th in the league with 77 hits. Hunter Haight could make his third appearance of the season if Foligno isn't available on Friday against the Colorado Avalanche. The 21-year-old is not expected to make a significant fantasy impact.

Vinnie Hinostroza to Miss 4-6 Weeks

Minnesota Wild center Vinnie Hinostroza (lower body) will miss 4-6 weeks of action, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports. Last week, he was hurt in a game against the Pittsburgh Penguins and was placed on Injured Reserve on Monday. Hinostroza has recorded five points (two goals, three assists) in 22 appearances this season. The injury bug has bitten the Wild's frontline badly lately, resulting in Danila Yurov taking on the top-line center role. The Russian rookie has handled the added responsibility well, notching four points (one goal, three assists) over the past four games.

Jesper Wallstedt Picks Up Third Shutout of the Season

Minnesota Wild goaltender Jesper Wallstedt kept the Winnipeg Jets from scoring on Sunday, posting his third shutout of the season in a 3-0 road win. He has 32 saves in the contest, becoming the fourth-youngest netminder in NHL history with a season-opening point streak of at least eight games. The 23-year-old Swedish native has gone 6-0-2 to start the year. Wallstedt has won each of his last five starts, allowing only five goals. Incredibly, he has recorded all three of his shutouts this season over his last four appearances. Wallstedt is providing great competition to Filip Gustavsson, as the two goalies have alternated starts over the last couple of weeks.

Matt Boldy Amasses Three Points in Impressive Road Win

Minnesota Wild winger Matt Boldy bagged two goals and one assist as the team kicked off a three-game road trip on Friday with a 5-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Boldy needed less than four minutes to open the scoring and added a power-play assist midway through the first period. He completed his three-point night with the game's final goal at the 17:48 mark in the second frame. Boldy grabbed multiple points for the fourth time this month. The 24-year-old has been on a scoring tear in November, tallying six goals and four assists during a six-game point streak. The hot stretch has made Boldy Minnesota's leading goal-scorer with 13 markers. Overall, he has posted 25 points in 22 games.

Filip Gustavsson Shuts Out Penguins Friday

Minnesota Wild goaltender Filip Gustavsson turned aside 19 shots to record his second shutout of the season in Friday's 5-0 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. There are now four goalies with multiple shutouts this season, and two of them play for the Wild. Jesper Wallstedt has also done an impressive job for Minnesota. For most of the campaign, Wallstedt has even outperformed Gustavsson, but he has started to turn his season around. Gustavsson has gone 4-1-1 in November, improving his overall record to 6-7-2. He has a 2.79 goals-against average and a .902 save percentage. With both netminders in top form, Wallstedt and Gustavsson have alternated starts lately. If the trend continues, we will see Gustavsson next on Wednesday night against the Chicago Blackhawks.

Vinnie Hinostroza Suffers Serious Injury Friday

Minnesota Wild center Vinnie Hinostroza (undisclosed) suffered a serious injury in Friday's win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports. The 31-year-old left the contest in the second period following a hit from Penguins defenseman Ryan Greaves. Hinostroza has played in all 22 Wild games this season, contributing two goals and three assists as a bottom-six player. Unfortunately, it now appears Hinostroza will miss some time. Minnesota's frontline has also recently lost Ryan Hartman (lower body) and Vladimir Tarasenko (lower body), leading to Danila Yurov being promoted to the top line.

Nico Sturm Activated From Injured Reserve

Minnesota Wild center Nico Sturm (back) has been removed from Injured Reserve ahead of Friday's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The German veteran is available to make his season debut, although it's unclear whether he will play in Friday's contest or join the lineup on Sunday against the Winnipeg Jets. Strum adds experience to the Wild lineup and won't likely make an impact in fantasy hockey. Last season, Strum had 14 points (seven goals, seven assists) in 62 contests split between the San Jose Sharks and Florida Panthers. The Wild also activated defenseman Zach Bogosian (lower body) from Injured Reserve on Friday.

Vladimir Tarasenko Misses Third Consecutive Game

Minnesota Wild winger Vladimir Tarasenko (lower body) will be sidelined for a third straight game on Wednesday against the Carolina Hurricanes. The Russian veteran sustained a lower-body injury at practice last Friday. This season, Tarasenko has impressed with his playmaking, registering eight assists in 18 outings. However, he has been limited to two goals on 30 shots. Liam Ohgren has taken over Tarasenko's spot in the Wild lineup. There was quite a bit of hype surrounding Ohgren leading up to the season, but he has struggled to make an impact, going scoreless in seven appearances.

Ryan Hartman Considered Week-to-Week

Minnesota Wild forward Ryan Hartman (lower body) is out week-to-week, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports. He sustained a lower-body injury on Sunday night against the Vegas Golden Knights. On Sunday, Hartman skated as the first-line center due to Marco Rossi's (lower body) absence. Rookie Danila Yurov may now be given the role for the upcoming games. The 21-year-old Russian has picked up two goals and three points from his first 15 career appearances. His numbers could improve quickly once he teams up with his prolific fellow countryman Kirill Kaprizov and veteran playmaker Mats Zuccarello.

Mats Zuccarello Logs Two Assists in Overtime Victory

Minnesota Wild right wing Mats Zuccarello set up two goals, including the game-winner, in Sunday's 3-2 overtime victory against the Vegas Golden Knights. The Norwegian veteran picked up his first assist on a Joel Eriksson Ek goal less than five minutes into the game and helped Kirill Kaprizov get a power-play goal with only 10 seconds left in overtime. After missing the first four weeks of action because of injury, Zuccarello hasn't needed much time to pick up form, logging four assists across five appearances. He is averaging 18:45 of ice time on Minnesota's first line. Zuccarello is an 11.2 percent career shooter, so the goals should also start to come for him eventually.

Ryan Hartman Suffers Lower-Body Injury

Minnesota Wild forward Ryan Hartman (lower body) left Sunday's 3-2 overtime victory against the Vegas Golden Knights in the third period. He suffered a lower-body injury, exiting after logging 12:30 of ice time. Hartman, who has recently centered the first line, recorded one shot and two hits in the game. With Marco Rossi (lower body) still out, the Wild may have to tweak the top six again if Hartman can't play on Wednesday against the Carolina Hurricanes. Hartman has managed seven points (four goals, three assists) in 20 outings this season.

Marco Rossi Out Week-to-Week

Minnesota Wild center Marco Rossi (lower body) is considered week-to-week and was placed on Injured Reserve on Friday. He is dealing with a lingering lower-body injury. "Something that was bothering him a little bit and started to get a little bit worse and now he's out," Wild head coach John Hynes said about Rossi's injury on Friday. Recently, Rossi has struggled to make an offensive impact, going scoreless in four of the past five games. In total, he has amassed 13 points (four goals, nine assists) in 17 appearances. Ryan Hartman is set to take over first-line center duties on Saturday against the Anaheim Ducks. The move up in the lineup will increase Hartman's fantasy value, although his work on the offensive end has left a lot to be desired. In 18 outings, Hartman has recorded six points (four goals and two assists), with none in his last five appearances.

Matt Boldy Has Two-Point Night Sunday

Minnesota Wild winger Matt Boldy led the team's offense in Sunday's 2-0 victory over the Calgary Flames, producing a goal and an assist. He opened the scoring at the 13:47 mark in the second period and set up Kirill Kaprizov for a goal inside the final minute of regulation. This was Boldy's fourth multi-point game of the season, with two of those occurring at the beginning of the campaign. Although Boldy has recently found it challenging to have a consistent impact on the Wild's offense, he is still maintaining a point-per-game pace. In 17 games, Boldy has contributed eight goals and nine assists.

Jesper Wallstedt Controls Flames

Minnesota Wild goaltender Jesper Wallstedt had a career-high 36 saves during a shutout performance in Sunday's 2-0 victory over the Calgary Flames. It was a busy night for Wallstedt, but he didn't flinch against the NHL's worst offense, becoming the fourth netminder in franchise history to pick up multiple shutouts as a rookie. Wallstedt, who is backing up Filip Gustavsson in Minnesota, has yet to lose in regulation this season, going 3-0-2. He has produced a 2.51 goals-against average and a .909 save percentage. Gustavsson has not been great this season, which may lead to additional playing time for Wallstedt. He has started back-to-back games for the first time in his career.

Marcus Johansson Extends Point Streak to Eight Games

Minnesota Wild left wing Marcus Johansson had an assist in Friday's 5-2 road win over the New York Islanders to stretch his career-best point streak to eight games. The Swedish veteran started his scoring run with a three-game goal streak and has totaled five goals and five assists during his prolific spell. Johansson currently shares the longest active point streak in the league with three other players. For the season, he has totaled 14 points (six goals, eight assists) in 16 appearances. Considering Minnesota faces the struggling Flames and the leaky Sharks next, Johansson is in a good position to continue his streak for at least a couple of more games.

Mats Zuccarello Could Be an Option Friday

Minnesota Wild right wing Mats Zuccarello (lower body) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Carolina Hurricanes. However, he could be ready to return to the lineup on Friday night in a meeting with the New York Islanders. "He's not going to go tonight, but we'll see tomorrow," Wild head coach John Hynes said Thursday morning. "It's day to day." Zuccarello, who hasn't yet played this season due to a lower-body injury, took part in Thursday's morning skate. The Norwegian veteran is 15 years into his NHL career but has remained productive, narrowly missing a fourth consecutive 60-point campaign last term.

Vladimir Tarasenko Ends Dry Spell With Three-Point Effort

Minnesota Wild winger Vladimir Tarasenko bagged one goal and two assists in Saturday's 5-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks. The Russian forward ended a six-game point drought with a power-play goal in the first period and recorded one even-strength assist in each of the next two periods. This marked Tarasenko's first three-point outing since April 1, 2024. While recent years have been tough for him, Tarasenko has done fairly well in 2025-26, totaling eight points (two goals and six assists) in 13 games. He has earned a top-six role and is part of the first power-play unit.
