Impact Brodin has missed the last nine games and may not return before the 4 Nations Face-Off. He has compiled four goals, 16 points, 54 shots on net, 67 blocked shots and 17 hits through 31 appearances this season. Once healthy, Brodin could bump Jon Merrill or Declan Chisholm from the lineup.

Marcus Johansson - Won't travel with team Johansson (concussion) will not be on the Wild's four-game road trip, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports Tuesday.

Impact At this point, Johansson likely faces an uphill battle to get back into the lineup ahead of the 4 Nations Face-Off. With Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) headed for surgery, Minnesota finds itself without two top-six forwards. Matt Boldy figures to get a look at a first-line role while both Liam Ohgren and Jakub Lauko could be in contention for top-six assignments.

Kirill Kaprizov - Headed for surgery Kaprizov will undergo surgery Friday to address the lower-body injury that previously sidelined him for 12 games. At a minimum, the winger is expected to miss four weeks, though it...

Impact Kaprizov was fairly solid in his last three games back from that injury, recording two assists and eighth shots while averaging 20:06 of ice time. According to general manager Bill Guerin, the 27-year-old Kaprizov likely could have played through the injury but would have only been at about 60 percent. Instead, the Wild will shut the Russian down and look to an end-of-season push. On the year, Kaprizov has managed 23 goals and 29 helpers in 37 appearances but almost certainly will miss the 40-goal mark for the first time since his rookie campaign back in 2020-21.

Jesper Wallstedt - Suffers OT loss Wallstedt (undisclosed) gave up just two goals on 32 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout defeat to AHL Texas.

Impact Wallstedt was back in action for the first time since suffering his undisclosed injury back in late December. With the 22-year-old youngster fit again, he should be available if needed by Minnesota -- though it would likely take an injury to Filip Gustavsson or Marc-Andre Fleury for Wallstedt to be promoted to the NHL roster.

Zach Bogosian - Picks up assist Sunday Bogosian logged an assist and two PIM in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Bogosian ended a five-game point drought with the helper. He has five points over 12 outings in January, but his role has shrunk following the returns of Brock Faber and Jared Spurgeon from their respective injuries that kept them out of action earlier in the month. Bogosian is at 11 points, 53 shots on net, 54 hits, 55 blocked shots, 29 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 50 appearances. He should still be a consistent third-pairing blueliner, though that's a role that's unlikely to make him attractive to fantasy managers.

Marco Rossi - Manages helper in win Rossi provided an assist in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Rossi has five helpers over his last five contests. He hasn't let a demotion to the second line impact his play much over the last two games, but it could have a negative effect in the long run. The center is at 44 points (10 on the power play), 90 shots on net and a plus-18 rating through 50 appearances this season, which is already better than what he did in 2023-24 (40 points in 82 games).

Kirill Kaprizov - Helps out on power play Kaprizov logged a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Kaprizov set up a Joel Eriksson Ek tally in the second period, which stood as the game-winner. With a helper in each of the last two games, Kaprizov is slowly getting back on track after a 12-game absence due to a lower-body injury. The superstar winger is up to 52 points (12 on the power play), 128 shots on net and a plus-19 rating over 37 appearances. Even with the lengthy absence, it's possible Kaprizov could push for a 100-point campaign if he returns to the level he played at early in 2024-25.

Matt Boldy - Trio of helpers in win Boldy supplied three assists and four shots on goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Boldy had been held off the scoresheet for a couple of games earlier in the week, but the winger erupted for four helpers over two contests during a weekend back-to-back. The 23-year-old had a hand in goals by Jared Spurgeon, Joel Eriksson Ek (on the power play) and Marcus Foligno (empty-netter). Boldy should still be able to carve out a decent share of offense even with Kirill Kaprizov back from a lower-body injury. For the season, Boldy has 18 goals, 27 helpers, 13 power-play points, 172 shots on net, 35 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 50 appearances.
