Joel Eriksson Ek - Helps out on power playEriksson Ek registered a power-play assist and four shots on goal in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Oilers.

ImpactEriksson Ek set up Matt Boldy for the opening goal just 3:02 into the contest. The 27-year-old Eriksson Ek had been held off the scoresheet over the previous three games. The 27-year-old remains in a second-line role, which has led to a bit less consistency on offense as injuries pile up around the Wild's lineup. He's also on the first power-play unit, where he's earned six of his 19 points this season. The center also has 81 shots on net, 54 hits and a plus-11 rating over 31 appearances.

Mats Zuccarello - Supplies two power-play assistsZuccarello notched two power-play assists, three shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Oilers.

ImpactZuccarello helped out on first-period tallies by Matt Boldy and Marco Rossi. This was Zuccarello's fifth multi-point effort over the last eight contests, though he's been held off the scoresheet in the other three games in that span. The 37-year-old winger is up to 11 goals, 21 helpers, eight power-play points, 66 shots on net and a plus-7 rating through 32 outings overall while filling a top-line role.

Ryan Hartman - Tallies again WednesdayHartman scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Oilers.

ImpactHartman has scored in back-to-back contests and has three goals and four assists over his last eight outings. The 30-year-old forward scored straight from a faceoff in the second period of this game. He's up to seven goals, 14 points, 94 shots on net, 46 hits, 27 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 40 appearances this season. Hartman will continue to carry some fantasy value in deeper formats while in a top-six role, but that could change once the Wild's forward group is closer to full health.

Marco Rossi - Strikes on power play in lossRossi scored a power-play goal on four shots, added two hits and went minus-2 in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Oilers.

ImpactRossi has two goals over his last three games. That's decent, but it pales in comparison to the four goals and 12 points he racked up over a nine-game span from Dec. 18 to Jan. 4. The 23-year-old center is up to 17 goals, 39 points (nine on the power play), 85 shots on net and a plus-15 rating through 45 appearances. He needs just one more point to match his total from 82 contests in the 2023-24 regular season.

Matt Boldy - Pair of points in lossBoldy scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Oilers.

ImpactBoldy also had seven shots on net and a minus-2 rating. He was a big part of the Wild's strong start to the contest, but the Oilers didn't let him add to his contributions over the final 40 minutes. Boldy has four goals and four assists over his last six outings, though these points Wednesday were his first on the power play since Dec. 18 versus the Panthers. The winger is at 17 goals, 39 points, 155 shots on net, 33 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 45 appearances.

Filip Gustavsson - Continues to struggleGustavsson allowed five goals on 36 shots in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Oilers.

ImpactGustavsson has leaked 19 goals over his last four outings, going 0-3-0 in that span. It's been an awful confluence of tough opponents for the Wild right as they're battling numerous injuries throughout the lineup, especially on defense. It would be unfair to blame Gustavsson for those circumstances, but fantasy mangers may want to pick and choose their spots with the goalie for a while. He's now 18-9-3 with a 2.58 GAA and a .914 save percentage over 31 starts. The Wild's next game is at Nashville on Saturday.
