Wild vs. Oilers Prediction, Odds, Picks - Dec. 20

Ben Jones - Heads to minors Jones was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Friday.

Impact Jones successfully cleared waivers, but unlike others who end up on the wire, it wasn't immediately clear if he'd be demoted after going unclaimed. He did play in Thursday's 5-2 victory over Columbus, recording two shots over 7:02 of ice time. His demotion also brings the Wild down to 11 healthy forwards on their active roster -- 10 if Marcus Johansson (lower body) can't play Saturday versus Edmonton. However, Minnesota has time to promote forwards before its upcoming game against the Oilers.

Carson Lambos - Sent back down Lambos was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Friday.

Impact Lambos was called up Wednesday, and he made his NHL debut during Thursday's 5-2 win over Columbus. He recorded a blocked shot and a plus-1 rating in 10:16 of ice time, but he'll head back to the minors a day later, signaling that at least one of Minnesota's injured defensemen could be cleared to suit up Saturday against the Oilers.

Jesper Wallstedt - Starter for Sunday Wallstedt will be between the pipes versus Colorado on Sunday, according to Joe Smith of The Athletic.

Impact Wallstedt is 10-1-2 with a 1.96 GAA and a .936 save percentage this season across 13 starts. He picked up his lone regulation loss Dec. 6 in Vancouver, allowing four goals on 21 shots, but he has come back nicely with a pair of wins while allowing four goals on 65 shots. The Avalanche lead the league in scoring, averaging 4.03 goals per game.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Vladimir Tarasenko - Puts away goal in win Tarasenko scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Tarasenko has four goals and three assists over his last six outings. He's seeing bigger minutes right now due to a handful of injury absences, but his ice time could shrink if Marcus Johansson (lower body) is able to return Saturday versus the Oilers. Tarasenko has 17 points, 54 shots on net, 23 hits and a minus-1 rating over 28 appearances this season.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Ryan Hartman - Strikes on power play Hartman scored a power-play goal on three shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Hartman has three goals, all on the power play, and a pair of even-strength assists over his last four games. The 31-year-old continues to play a key middle-six role for the Wild, especially as the team navigates a tough patch of injuries. He's up to a total of seven goals, 13 points, 62 shots on net, 31 hits, 33 blocked shots, 17 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 31 appearances this season.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Marcus Johansson - Questionable for Saturday's game Johansson (lower body) is considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Oilers, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Johansson has missed the last two games due to his lower-body injury, but he could return to action before the holiday break. He was riding a four-game point streak prior to his absence, recording three goals, three assists, three hits, a blocked shot and a plus-7 rating while averaging 15:17 of ice time.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Zach Bogosian - Out for Saturday Bogosian (lower body) will miss his third straight game Saturday against Edmonton, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports Friday.

Impact Bogosian has one goal and one assist in 17 games this season. The defenseman is considered day-to-day and could return as early as Sunday against Colorado.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Filip Gustavsson - Set to start Saturday Gustavsson is slated to start Saturday's home game against the Oilers, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

Impact Gustavsson is riding a four-game winning streak in which he's posted a 1.25 GAA and .949 save percentage. He'll face a tough test against the Oilers, who rank third in the NHL with 3.40 goals per game.
