  • Wild's Frederick Gaudreau: Notches assist

    Gaudreau recorded an assist in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.

    Gaudreau has five points over his last three games, accounting for all of his offense this season. He looks to be fitting in better on the third line after beginning the year as a fourth-liner. Gaudreau has added 16 shots on net, eight hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 11 contests. His all-around production isn't enough to help in standard fantasy formats, but he's worth a look in deeper leagues as long as he's racking up points.

  • Wild's Marco Rossi: Helpers in three straight games

    Rossi logged an assist, three hits and two PIM in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.

    Rossi has a helper in three straight games and four of his last five outings. The 23-year-old hasn't been particularly flashy on offense this season, but he's been consistent enough to get on the scoresheet in nine of 11 contests. He's up to three goals, seven assists, 17 shots on net, seven hits, six PIM and a plus-6 rating. Playing on the top line gives Rossi serious breakout potential in his second full NHL campaign, and he's scoring enough to help in virtually all fantasy formats.

  • Wild's Jared Spurgeon: Dishes pair of helpers

    Spurgeon notched two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.

    Spurgeon helped out on Ryan Hartman's goal in the first period and Matt Boldy's game-winner in overtime. This was the first time in five outings Spurgeon has exceeded 20 minutes of ice time, logging 22:00 in Sunday's win. The 34-year-old has three helpers, five shots on net, nine blocked shots, four hits and a plus-4 rating while filling a top-four role since recovering from a lower-body injury.

  • Wild's Ryan Hartman: Scores in overtime win

    Hartman scored a goal on three shots, added two PIM and logged three hits in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.

    This was Hartman's second game back from an upper-body injury. The 30-year-old forward returned Friday on the fourth line, but he's already up to the third line over the struggling Yakov Trenin. Hartman has three goals, 16 shots on net, nine hits and a minus-3 rating across six appearances this season. He offers upside for PIM and shots even if he stays in the bottom six, but he's also a candidate to move into the top six if the Wild's hot start fades at some point.

  • Wild's Matt Boldy: Seals win in overtime

    Boldy scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.

    The Maple Leafs thought they were off to the races after a Wild turnover, but Jared Spurgeon got the puck up to Marco Rossi, who touched it over to Boldy behind the defense. Boldy made no mistake on the finish, scoring for the second game in a row and the fourth time in six contests. The winger is up to six tallies (three game-winners), 13 points, 40 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 11 appearances this season. Boldy continues to hold a top-six role and a spot on the first power-play unit, and his early pace has him on track to surpass his career high of 69 points from 2023-24.

  • Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Wins in overtime Sunday

    Gustavsson stopped 27 of 28 shots in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.

    Gustavsson earned his second win in a row and appears to be back on track after his six-goal hiccup versus the Flyers on Oct. 26. The 26-year-old netminder was able to limit Toronto to a William Nylander power-play goal in the first period. Gustavsson improved to 6-1-1 with a 2.12 GAA and a .924 save percentage through eight starts, putting him among the best goalies in the league. The Wild wrap up a homestand Tuesday versus the Kings before a road back-to-back with stops in San Jose on Thursday and Anaheim on Friday.

  • Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Tending twine Sunday

    Gustavsson will patrol the home crease Sunday against Toronto, per Jessi Pierce of NHL.com.

    Gustavsson is coming off a 27-save effort in Friday's 5-3 win over Tampa Bay. He has a 5-1-1 record with a 2.29 GAA and a .919 save percentage across seven appearances this campaign. Toronto visits the Blues on Saturday before facing the Wild on Sunday. The Maple Leafs sit 13th in the league with 3.27 goals per game this season.

  • Wild's Jakub Lauko: Slides assist in Friday's win

    Lauko notched an assist, five PIM and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-3 win over the Lightning.

    Lauko dropped the mitts with Michael Eyssimont in the first period, giving the Wild forward his first PIM of the season. The 24-year-old Lauko then helped out on a Brock Faber tally in the third period. Through 10 appearances, Lauko has chipped in four points, 14 hits, 13 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating. He was limited to 10 points in 60 regular-season outings with the Bruins last year, so he's on pace to have a career year in 2024-25.

  • Wild's Jacob Middleton: Notches assist in Friday's win

    Middleton provided an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and four blocked shots in Friday's 5-3 win over the Lightning.

    Middleton's improbably good start to the campaign continued when he set up Brock Faber's go-ahead goal in the third period. The helper gave Middleton a five-game point streak (one goal, six assists), which is the longest streak of his career. He's up to eight points, 15 shots on net, 15 hits, 31 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 10 contests. At this point, he's worth a look in standard fantasy formats, and he'll return solid value in formats that reward non-scoring production throughout the campaign.

  • Wild's Frederick Gaudreau: Adds helper in win

    Gaudreau logged an assist and blocked two shots in Friday's 5-3 win over the Lightning.

    All four of Gaudreau's points this season have come in the last two games. The 31-year-old center has worked his way into a middle-six role with time on the second power-play unit with his recent surge of offense. He's added 15 shots on net, eight hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 10 contests. Gaudreau will likely peak as the third-line center, and if he struggles again, Ryan Hartman could be an option to take that spot.

  • Wild's Marco Rossi: Generates assist in win

    Rossi notched an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 5-3 win over the Lightning.

    Rossi attempted a centering pass, but it deflected in off Kirill Kaprizov for the Wild's third goal. This was Rossi's third assist in the last four games. The 23-year-old center has gotten on the scoresheet in eight of 10 contests, earning three goals, six assists, 16 shots on net and a plus-5 rating. Ryan Hartman (upper body) returned to the lineup in a fourth-line role Friday, and as long as he stays there, Rossi's top-six job should be safe.

  • Wild's Mats Zuccarello: Offers pair of helpers

    Zuccarello notched two assists, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-3 win over the Lightning.

    Zuccarello helped out on goals by Joel Eriksson Ek and Kirill Kaprizov in this contest. This was Zuccarello's third multi-point effort of the season as he continues to offer strong offense in a top-line role. The 37-year-old winger is up to five goals, six assists, 23 shots on net, four PIM and a plus-7 rating over 10 appearances. It's fair to question how long Zuccarello can keep up this level of offense, but it doesn't look like his age will be a problem in 2024-25.

  • Wild's Brock Faber: Lights lamp in win

    Faber scored a goal and went plus-3 in Friday's 5-3 win over the Lightning.

    Faber is starting to find a groove on offense with two goals and an assist during a three-game point streak. The 22-year-old defenseman doesn't have a multi-point effort yet, but he's been a fairly steady contributor across multiple categories. He's at two goals, four assists, 12 shots on net, 10 hits, six blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 10 appearances. That's a scoring pace roughly in line with what he did last year as a rookie (47 points in 82 regular-season outings).

  • Wild's Matt Boldy: Fills empty cage for game-winner

    Boldy scored an empty-net goal on three shots in Friday's 5-3 win over Lightning.

    Boldy's tally put the Wild up 4-2, and while the Lightning got one back, they couldn't tie the game. This made Boldy's goal the game-winner, his second such tally of the season. The 23-year-old winger is up to five goals, 12 points, 37 shots on net, nine blocked shots, seven hits and a plus-2 rating through 10 appearances. He's been a key part of the Wild's early success while playing on the second line and first power-play unit.

  • Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Scores in Friday's win

    Eriksson Ek scored a goal and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-3 win over the Lightning.

    Eriksson Ek has four goals and two assists over his last five games. The center's second-period tally Friday tied the game at 1-1. He's produced a total of five goals, two assists, 20 shots on net, 17 hits and a plus-5 rating over eight appearances this season. Eriksson Ek offers 30-goal potential as well as plenty of shots and hits while consistently featuring in a top-six role and on the first power-play unit.

  • Wild's Kirill Kaprizov: Takes over NHL lead in points

    Kaprizov scored twice, dished an assist, added two PIM and went plus-4 in Friday's 5-3 win over the Lightning.

    Kaprizov's two goals came in the third period, which included an empty-netter to seal the win. He's rattled off a stunning seven straight multi-point efforts to vault into the NHL lead for points. The superstar winger has seven goals, 14 assists, six power-play points, 31 shots on net and a plus-12 rating over 10 appearances. Kaprizov has been a clear top-20 player for a few years now, but this hot start has him in the early MVP conversation.

  • Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Defeats Lightning

    Gustavsson stopped 27 of 30 shots in Friday's 5-3 win over the Lightning.

    Gustavsson bounced back from a six-goal fiasco in his last start, taking a competitive win over the Lightning in a back-and-forth battle. The 26-year-old netminder improved to 5-1-1 with a 2.29 GAA and a .919 save percentage over seven starts. He's been a big part of the Wild's early success while establishing himself as a No. 1 goalie again after a rough 2023-24. The Wild host the Maple Leafs on Sunday for their next game.
