Reassigned to Iowa Wallstedt was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Sunday.

Impact Wallstedt struggled in his start Saturday against the Jets, allowing five goals on 24 shots in a 5-0 defeat. With Filip Gustavsson (lower body) expected to be back Monday, Wallstedt will return to the AHL where he's gone 5-6-1 with an .874 save percentage this season.

Gets no help in loss Wallstedt stopped 19 of 24 shots in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Jets.

Impact Wallstedt has lost both of his NHL appearances this season. He's given up eight goals on 51 shots. The Wild didn't do him any favors Saturday, failing to score on their 19 shots against Connor Hellebuyck in the contest. Wallstedt continues to serve as backup to Marc-Andre Fleury while Filip Gustavsson (lower body) is on the mend. The Wild have one more game before the holiday break, Monday at home versus the Blackhawks, so it's unclear when Wallstedt might see his next action.

Getting start Saturday Wallstedt will start Saturday's road game in Winnipeg, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Marc-Andre Fleury took a narrow 2-1 loss to Utah on Friday, so Wallstedt will work the second half of a back-to-back. In his season debut last Sunday, Wallstedt stopped 24 of 27 shots in a 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights. He's also struggled in the AHL, but the Wild will continue to give the top prospect some looks until Filip Gustavsson (lower body) can play again.

Tastes defeat in first start Wallstedt gave up three goals on 27 shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Victor Olofsson tallied twice and Shea Theodore had the other goal to send Wallstedt to the loss in his NHL season debut. He was called up after Saturday's game versus the Flyers because Filip Gustavsson (lower body) is dealing with an injury. Wallstedt is one of the best goalie prospects, but he has struggled at the AHL level this year, so he likely still needs more development time, which he should get once Gustavsson is back to 100 percent.

Starting against Vegas Wallstedt will patrol the home crease versus the Golden Knights on Sunday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Wallstedt has a 5-6-1 record with a 3.77 GAA and an .874 save percentage in 12 AHL appearances this season. The 22-year-old Wallstedt will get the second half of Minnesota's back-to-back because Filip Gustavsson (undisclosed) is unavailable, and Marc-Andre Fleury played in Saturday's 4-1 win over Philadelphia. Vegas ranks fifth in the league with 3.47 goals per game in 2024-25 and lost 6-3 to Edmonton on Saturday.

DECEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Receives emergency call-up Wallstedt was called up from AHL Iowa on Saturday under emergency conditions.

Impact Wallstedt's emergency recall indicates there may be some concern with one of Filip Gustavsson or Marc-Andre Fleury, but nothing has been reported. Jakub Lauko (lower body) was placed on injured reserve to clear a roster spot. Wallstedt has not played in the NHL this season and has struggled to a 3.77 GAA and an .874 save percentage over 12 outings with Iowa this season.

Returns to AHL Wallstedt was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Wednesday.

Impact Wallstedt was recalled Tuesday and returned to the minors after being a healthy scratch in Minnesota's 3-2 overtime win against Vancouver. His brief stint in the NHL might have just been for developmental purposes to give him a chance to work with the big club, especially because Iowa is off until Saturday anyway. The 22-year-old has a 4.34 GAA and an .860 save percentage in 10 outings with Iowa in 2024-25.

Called up from minors Wallstedt was promoted from AHL Iowa on Tuesday.

Impact Wallstedt hasn't been exactly dominating in the minors, posting a 3-6-1 record and 4.34 GAA in 10 outings for the club. With Iowa off until Saturday's clash with AHL Milwaukee, the netminder may just be up with the big club to get the opportunity to work with the team's goalie coach and get some reps with the Wilds as a way to boost his confidence. Still, fantasy players probably should monitor the status of Filip Gustavsson and Marc-Andre Fleury ahead of puck drop against the Canucks on Tuesday.

Sent back down Wallstedt was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Sunday.

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.

OCTOBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

OCTOBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Facing Stars Wallstedt will patrol the home crease in Sunday's preseason contest versus Dallas, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
