Wild's Danila Yurov: Released from KHL deal
Yurov has been released from his KHL contract with Metallurg, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Tuesday.
The termination of Yurov's KHL contract clears the way for him to sign with the Minnesota Wild ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. Per Russo, it's far from guaranteed the 21-year-old winger will stick with the organization next year, as he could opt to return to Russia rather than play in the AHL. As such, it may be NHL roster or bust for Yurov heading into training camp in the fall.

Wild's Travis Boyd: Highlights Black Aces
Boyd was recalled from AHL Iowa on Monday along with forwards Brendan Gaunce, Hunter Haight, Ben Jones and Liam Ohgren, defensemen Cameron Crotty and Carson Lambos, and netminder Samuel Hlavaj.
Boyd was one of eight players to form the Wild's Black Aces promotions after AHL Iowa failed to qualify for the Calder Cup Playoffs. The 31-year-old Boyd logged just three NHL games for the Wild this season in which he failed to register a point or a shot on goal.

Wild's Ryan Hartman: Plucks apple in Game 1 loss
Hartman notched an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 1.
Hartman took a bit of a beating in this contest, getting leveled on a collision in the first period before he was cut after a scuffle with Nicolas Hague in the third. The 30-year-old Hartman was able to finish the contest, which is a credit to the toughness he brings to the Wild's lineup. He had 26 points, 158 shots on net, 75 PIM, 73 hits and a minus-7 rating over 69 regular-season contests. He was listed on the fourth line to begin the playoffs, but he'll often take extra shifts with other forwards to help keep a decent share of ice time.

Wild's Kirill Kaprizov: Dishes pair of helpers
Kaprizov notched two assists and three blocked shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 1.
Kaprizov has two goals and four assists over five contests since returning from a lower-body injury. He's been a boost to the Wild's offense, but the rest of the team will also need to play well against a fully healthy Golden Knights squad. Kaprizov had 56 points despite being limited to 41 regular-season contests, so he should be productive as long as Minnesota's playoff run lasts.

Wild's Matt Boldy: Scores both goals in loss
Boldy scored two goals, added two PIM and doled out six hits in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 1.
Boldy has been dynamic lately with four goals and seven assists over his last six contests. The 24-year-old helped the Wild secure their playoff berth Tuesday in the regular-season finale versus the Ducks, and he carried the offense again in the playoff opener. Minnesota will need to have more than just Boldy going at this time of year if the team is to avoid an early exit against a tough first-round foe. Boldy at least looks the part of a star after his 27-goal, 73-point effort over 82 regular-season games.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Keeps it close in loss
Gustavsson stopped 23 of 26 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 1. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Gustavsson didn't play poorly, but the Golden Knights put a puck past him in each period. The 26-year-old Swede didn't enter the playoffs in the greatest of form, going 3-3-2 with a 3.04 GAA and an .892 save percentage over his last nine regular-season outings. Gustavsson is the clear starter in the Wild's crease, though they could always turn to Marc-Andre Fleury for a change of pace. Gustavsson will likely get the chance to even the series in Game 2 on Tuesday.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Game 1 starter
Gustavsson will tend the road twine Sunday against the Golden Knights in Game 1, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
This will be Gustavsson's sixth career playoff start. The 26-year-old went 2-3-0 with a .921 save percentage and a 2.33 GAA over five postseason outings in 2022-23. He'll have a challenging assignment against a Vegas squad that generated 3.34 goals per game during the regular season, which ranked fifth in the NHL in 2024-25. Gustavsson has a subpar 1-3-1 record and has allowed at least three goals in four of five starts against the Golden Knights in his career.

Wild's Devin Shore: Brought up from minors
Shore was recalled from AHL Iowa on Sunday, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.
Shore had one goal, four assists, 41 shots on net, 37 blocked shots and 76 hits across 55 NHL appearances during the 2024-25 regular season. He will probably be a healthy scratch in Game 1 versus Vegas on Sunday.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Called up from minors
Wallstedt was recalled from AHL Iowa on Friday.
Wallstedt struggled at the NHL level early in the season, going 0-2-0, allowing eight goals on 51 shots (.843 save percentage). The 22-year-old, who is considered the Wild's goaltender of the future, went 9-14-4 with a 3.59 GAA and an .879 save percentage across 27 AHL appearances. He will be the third goaltender as Filip Gustavsson will start with Marc-Andre Fleury as his backup, barring any injuries, through the playoffs.

Wild's Jake Middleton: Earns helper in return
Middleton notched an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Ducks.
Middleton missed four games due to an upper-body injury sustained April 4 versus the Islanders. He logged 18:18 of ice time in his return, playing on the second pairing. The 29-year-old will likely see heavy minutes as a top-four blueliner in the playoffs. He ends the regular season with 21 points, 97 shots, 157 blocks, 99 hits, 40 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 67 appearances.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Nabs helper in win
Brodin logged an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Ducks.
Brodin helped out on Matt Boldy's game-winning goal at 4:42 of overtime. The helper ended a 10-game skid for Brodin, who continues to handle top-pairing minutes for the Wild. The 31-year-old defenseman just managed to get back to the 20-point mark for the seventh time in his 13-year career. He concludes the regular season with four goals, 16 helpers, 71 shots on net, 104 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 50 appearances.

Wild's Mats Zuccarello: Contributes two helpers
Zuccarello notched two assists, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Ducks.
Zuccarello had a hand in goals by Marcus Johansson and Joel Eriksson Ek during regulation. It's been a resurgent April for Zuccarello, who has two goals and seven assists over seven games this month. He concludes the regular season with 19 goals, 35 assists, 151 shots on net, 48 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating across 69 appearances. Look for Zuccarello to play on the second line and the first power-play unit to begin the playoffs, though he could be reunited with Kirill Kaprizov at some point if the Wild start to lag behind the Golden Knights in the first round.

Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Forces overtime Tuesday
Eriksson Ek scored a goal on six shots, doled out four hits and added two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Ducks.
The Wild just needed to get to overtime to make the playoffs, but it wasn't looking good until Eriksson Ek scored with 22 seconds left in regulation. It's his fifth goal in four games since returning from a lower-body injury. The center finishes with 14 goals, 29 points, 140 shots on net, 82 hits, 36 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 46 regular-season outings. He's set to play a top-six role in the playoffs.

Wild's Marcus Johansson: One of each Tuesday
Johansson scored a goal on four shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Ducks.
Johansson has three goals and four assists over seven contests in April. He scored the opening goal Tuesday and also set up Matt Boldy's game-winner at 4:42 of overtime. Johansson is up to 11 goals, 34 points, 121 shots on net, 49 hits and a minus-7 rating over 72 appearances. He should slot into a middle-six role and see time on the second power-play unit during the postseason.

Wild's Matt Boldy: Carries team to playoff berth
Boldy scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Ducks.
The Wild's fate was about to slip out of their hands, but Boldy took care of that by setting up Joel Eriksson Ek for the game-tying goal with 22 seconds left in regulation. Boldy then left no doubt, scoring the game-winner at 4:42 of overtime. The Western Conference race didn't quite get down to the wire, but Boldy had a big part in helping the Wild get in, earning two goals and eight assists over seven contests in April. He'll continue to see top-six minutes and power-play time in Minnesota's first-round series versus Vegas. He ends the regular season at 27 goals, 73 points, 271 shots on net, 69 blocked shots, 52 hits, 51 PIM and a plus-1 rating while playing in all 82 games for the first time in his career.

Wild's Marc-Andre Fleury: Dazzles in overtime
Fleury stopped all five shots he faced in overtime of Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.
The Wild clinched a playoff spot just by getting to overtime, and Filip Gustavsson asked head coach John Hynes to let Fleury play the extra session in the 40-year-old's last regular-season game. Fleury put on a show for his curtain call, and his effort was rewarded when Matt Boldy scored at 4:42 of overtime. Fleury's regular-season career record stands at 575-339-95, and he also had two ties in 2003-04 in his first year. He has the second-most wins of all time, trailing only Martin Brodeur's 691. Fleury will handle the backup role during the postseason, which sees the Wild facing one of his former teams, the Golden Knights, in the first round.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Cedes crease to Fleury for overtime
Gustavsson stopped 22 of 24 shots before giving way to Marc-Andre Fleury in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Ducks.
Joe Smith of The Athletic reports it was Gustavsson's idea to allow Fleury to play overtime -- the Wild clinched a playoff spot simply by earning one point. Gustavsson's fantasy managers might not appreciate the gesture, but that's all class from one teammate to another, allowing Fleury to get some time in his last regular-season game. Gustavsson finishes at 31-19-6 with a 2.56 GAA and a .914 save percentage over 58 regular-season outings. He'll likely start the vast majority of the Wild's playoff contests, which will begin with a first-round series versus the Golden Knights.
