Stars' Jason Robertson: Nets lone goal in Game 1 loss
Robertson scored a power-play goal on six shots in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Wild in Game 1.
Robertson was the only Star able to break through against Jesper Wallstedt and the Wild's defense. After a strong regular season with 45 goals and 96 points over 82 contests, Robertson will be looking to lead the Stars' offense in the playoffs. He's had decent success over the last four years in the postseason, earning 18 goals and 26 assists across 56 playoff outings prior to this year.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Sharp in playoff debut
Wallstedt made 27 saves during the Wild's 6-1 win over the Stars in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series Saturday.
A Jason Robertson power-play tally late in the second period spoiled Wallstedt's shutout bid, but the rookie netminder otherwise had an answer for everything Dallas fired his way. Wallstedt hasn't allowed more than two goals in seven straight starts dating back to March 19, and with Filip Gustavsson having struggled down the stretch during the regular season, Wallstedt is getting the chance to lock down the top job in the Wild crease for the team's postseason run.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Set to start in Game 1
Wallstedt is expected to start on the road against Dallas for Game 1 on Saturday, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.
Wallstedt finished the regular season with an 18-9-6 record, 2.61 GAA and .915 save percentage across 35 appearances. Minnesota's Filip Gustavsson appeared in more regular-season games (50), but he struggled down the stretch, posting a 4.25 GAA and an .836 save percentage across his final six outings, which helps explain why Wallstedt is getting this opportunity. In contrast to Gustavsson, Wallstedt went 4-2-0 with a 1.84 GAA and a .935 save percentage over seven appearances to end the 2025-26 campaign. The Stars will be a challenging adversary -- they were ninth in goals per game during the regular season with an average of 3.33.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Earns win vs. Anaheim
Wallstedt stopped 35 of 37 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.
Wallstedt has been alternating starts with Filip Gustavsson down the stretch. The 23-year-old Wallstedt has played when called upon this campaign. He has won four of his last five starts, going 4-1-0 with a 1.82 GAA and a .936 save percentage over that span. Wallstedt is a viable option to see playing time in the playoffs if Gustavsson struggles.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Patrolling home paint
Wallstedt will draw the home start in Tuesday's matchup against the Ducks, per Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News.
Wallstedt will look to bounce back after receiving a narrow loss in Saturday's road clash against the Predators. Overall, the 23-year-old netminder has a 17-9-6 record, a 2.63 GAA and a .914 save percentage across 34 appearances this season. Despite the loss in his most recent outing, he's played exceptionally well over the last month with a 1.97 GAA and a .927 save percentage across his last nine games. He'll face off against the full-strength Ducks, who aren't resting the majority of their players, making Tuesday's game a difficult one on paper for Wallstedt.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Three-game win streak snapped
Wallstedt made 20 saves in a 2-1 loss to Nashville on Saturday.
Wallstedt was sharp behind a team with Joel Eriksson Ek, Mats Zuccarello and Jared Spurgeon all scratched for rest-related reasons to get ready for the postseason. The loss snapped a personal three-game winning streak for the netminder. Wallstedt hasn't allowed more than two goals in a game since mid-March (3-2-0; five starts). Overall, he's an impressive 17-9-6 with four shutouts, 2.63 GAA and .915 save percentage.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Starting in Nashville
Wallstedt will guard the road goal against the Predators on Saturday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Wallstedt has surrendered only five goals on 81 shots during his three-game winning streak. He has a 17-8-6 record this season with four shutouts, a 2.65 GAA and a .914 save percentage in 33 appearances. Nashville sits 19th in the league in the 2025-26 campaign with 2.96 goals per game.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Secures win over Kraken
Wallstedt stopped 25 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.
Wallstedt came away with his third straight win. He allowed both goals in the first period before locking things down in the final 40 minutes. Wallstedt improved to 17-8-6 with a 2.65 GAA and a .914 save percentage across 33 outings this season. The 23-year-old netminder should get at least one more start in the regular season since the Wild end on a back-to-back, but it wouldn't be surprising if he got two starts to afford Filip Gustavsson a little extra rest. The Wild begin a three-game road trip Thursday in Dallas, offering a preview of a first-round series.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: In goal Tuesday
Wallstedt will be between the pipes at home against the Kraken on Tuesday, Kevin Falness of KFAN reports.
Wallstedt has appeared in just two of the Wild's last seven contests, but he secured victories in both of those outings while recording a 1.50 GAA. With the team ending the year with a back-to-back, the 23-year-old netminder will likely get one more opportunity to feature before the postseason, when Filip Gustavsson will be in full control of the net.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Sharp in Saturday's win
Wallstedt made 33 saves in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Senators.

Wallstedt hasn't allowed more than three goals in an outing since February, going 2-2-2 over his last seven appearances with a dazzling 1.95 GAA and .929 save percentage.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Back in win column
Wallstedt made 18 saves in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Panthers.
The 23-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period, but goals by Matthew Tkachuk and Aaron Ekblad tied things up before Joel Eriksson Ek bailed Wallstedt out with five seconds left in regulation. It was Wallstedt's 15th win of the season but his first since Jan. 31, snapping a seven-outing stretch in which he'd gone 0-3-2 with a 2.90 GAA and .903 save percentage.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Set to start Thursday
Wallstedt will guard the visiting cage in Florida on Thursday, per Joe Smith of The Athletic.
Wallstedt is 14-8-6 with four shutouts, a 2.75 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 30 appearances this season. The rookie netminder will face the Panthers, who are 20th in league scoring, averaging 2.94 goals in 2025-26.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Decent showing in loss
Wallstedt stopped 24 of 26 shots on goal in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Blackhawks.
Despite allowing no goals in the final period of Thursday's contest, Wallstedt gave up one in each of the first two periods, which would be enough for Chicago to steal the win. Wallstedt now holds a 14-8-6 record, a 2.75 GAA and a .911 save percentage across 30 outings this season. Since the Olympic break, the rookie netminder has struggled to find the win column with a 0-3-2 record across his last seven appearances. His record doesn't tell the full story, however, as he's maintained a .903 save percentage during that span. Wallstedt holds solid fantasy value for the remainder of the regular season.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Between pipes Thursday
Wallstedt will tend the twine at home against the Blackhawks on Thursday, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
Wallstedt hasn't secured a victory in six straight appearances, though some of those were brief relief outings. Still, the backup netminder is 0-2-2 over that stretch with a 3.09 GAA. While Wallstedt should get some opportunities in the stretch run, he is firmly cemented behind Filip Gustavsson as the No. 2 option in Minnesota.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Needed in relief Tuesday
Wallstedt stopped both shots he faced in relief of Filip Gustavsson during Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over Chicago.
Gustavsson left the ice for a little over three minutes during the third period due to an equipment issue, and Wallstedt held down the fort until he returned. Wallstedt hasn't won a game since Jan. 31 and has fallen behind Gustavsson in the pecking order for the Wild. However, the 23-year-old Wallstedt has a 2.20 GAA and .922 save percentage over four outings in March despite a record of 0-1-2.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Loses to Toronto
Wallstedt stopped 22 of 25 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Wallstedt is winless in his last five appearances, giving up 13 goals on 127 shots in that span. While he isn't playing poorly, he hasn't been good enough to get results, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Filip Gustavsson get a heavier workload down the stretch. Wallstedt is now 14-7-6 with a 2.78 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 28 appearances this season.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Set to start Sunday
Wallstedt is expected to feature in the crease for Sunday's home clash with Toronto, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
Wallstedt will get the nod Sunday after Filip Gustavsson goes against the Rangers at home Saturday. The 23-year-old Wallstedt is currently mired in a three-game losing streak during which he has posted a 0-1-2 record, 2.85 GAA and .910 save percentage.
