Impact Wallstedt has yet to appear in a game this season, though he's expected to make a handful of starts behind Filip Gustavsson and Marc-Andre Fleury later in the year. Travis Boyd was recalled in a corresponding move.

Sent back down Wallstedt was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Sunday.
Back in Minnesota The Wild recalled Wallstedt from AHL Iowa on Friday.
Impact Wallstedt was sent down Thursday as the Wild needed a seventh defenseman and didn't need to carry three goaltenders. Defenseman Daemon Hunt, who was recalled Thursday, was sent down to AHL Iowa in a corresponding move. Wallstedt is expected to play approximately 25-30 games this season, sharing the net with Filip Gustavsson and Marc-Andre Fleury. Wallstedt is considered the Wild's goalie of the future.

Sent to AHL The Wild reassigned Wallstedt to AHL Iowa on Thursday.
Impact Minnesota had only six healthy defensemen with Declan Chisholm out of action with an illness, so they demoted Wallstedt, who was set to be their third goaltender Thursday, and promoted Daemon Hunt as their seventh defenseman. Wallstedt is expected to see plenty of action at the NHL level this season, as the Wild are likely to share the net between Wallstedt, Filip Gustavsson and Marc-Andre Fleury, unless one of the threesome gets hot. Wallstedt should make 25-30 appearances as he is the Wild's goaltender of the future.

Lands contract extension Wallstedt signed a two-year, $4.4 million contract extension with the Wild on Monday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Impact Wallstedt made his NHL debut last year, as he made three appearances for Minnesota and posted a 2-1-0 record, 3.02 GAA and .897 save percentage. He's one of the top goaltending prospects in professional hockey and could see increased work for the Wild this year, although he'll likely begin the season behind Filip Gustavsson and Marc-Andre Fleury. Wallstedt's deal will keep him under contract with the Wild through the 2026-27 season, as the agreement won't start until next season.

Getting start Saturday Wallstedt is set to be between the pipes on the road against the Jets on Saturday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Impact Wallstedt taking the first game of the preseason by no means guarantees he will earn a roster spot coming out of training camp, but it certainly is something worth monitoring. The 21-year-old netminder has just three games of NHL experience, having gone 2-1-0 with a 302 GAA and one shutout last season. Veteran Marc-Andre Fleury is slated to serve in the backup role Saturday, giving Filip Gustavsson the night off.

Sent back down Wallstedt was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Tuesday.
Impact Wallstedt won both of his games during this stint on the NHL roster, but those were against the Blackhawks and the Sharks. Marc-Andre Fleury will start Thursday's season finale versus the Kraken, so there's no need to keep Wallstedt in the NHL to close out the campaign.

Solid in second win Wallstedt allowed two goals on 29 shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Sharks.
Impact Wallstedt earned his second win in three NHL outings this season. He's received favorable assignments in those two games after debuting against the Stars in January and allowing seven goals in a loss. Wallstedt is the Wild's presumptive goalie of the future, and he's been given a taste of the NHL this season. With Marc-Andre Fleury's future with the Wild beyond the end of the campaign in question, Wallstedt could get a chance to win a roster spot in training camp in the fall.

Starting in Sin City Wallstedt will patrol the road crease versus Vegas on Friday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Impact Wallstedt was excellent in his second NHL appearance Sunday versus the Blackhawks, turning aside all 24 shots he faced en route to his first NHL win and shutout. He'll try to secure a second straight victory in a tough road matchup with a Golden Knights team that's gone 24-11-2 at home this year.
APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE
Earns first NHL win Wallstedt recorded a shutout in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Blackhawks on Sunday, stopping all 24 shots for his first NHL victory.
Impact Wallstedt is getting a look at the NHL level with the Wild nearly eliminated from playoff contention. The club is currently carrying three netminders on the roster, so the 21-year-old Wallstedt is unlikely to get a significant workload down the stretch. Still, Wallstedt could challenge Filip Gustavsson as the presumptive goalie of the future for the Wild.

Impact Wallstedt will get his second start of the season with Minnesota after being recalled from AHL Iowa on Saturday. During his NHL debut against Dallas on Jan. 10, he gave up seven goals on 34 shots in a 7-2 loss. The 21-year-old netminder has a 21-19-3 record with a 2.76 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 43 AHL contests this campaign. Chicago sits 31st in the league with 2.21 goals per contest in 2023-24.

Recalled Saturday Wallstedt was summoned from AHL Iowa on Saturday.
Impact Wallstedt has a 2.76 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 43 AHL contests this season. It seems goaltenders Marc-Andre Fleury, who is expected to start Saturday versus Winnipeg, and Filip Gustavsson are both healthy, but Wallstedt was recalled anyway so that the 21-year-old could get some NHL experience during the final days of the campaign. The young goaltender is projected to play between the pipes at some point during the Wild's upcoming five-game road trip, which will begin Sunday in Chicago, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic.

Impact With the Wild off through the All-Star break, Wallstedt will head back to the minors. The 21-year-old netminder struggled in his one NHL start this season, allowing seven goals on 34 shots in a loss to Dallas on Jan. 10. With Marc-Andre Fleury (upper body) likely to return following the break, Wallstedt will likely remain in Iowa as injury insurance going forward.

Wallstedt is a highly-regarded prospect and is worth claiming in dynasty leagues.

Impact Wallstedt made his NHL debut Wednesday, and it was a tough one, as he gave up seven goals on 34 shots in a 7-2 loss in Dallas.
