Kirill Kaprizov - Four-game, nine-point streak Kaprizov scored twice and added an assist in a 4-2 win over the Lightning on Thursday.
Impact He opened the scoring in the first with a one-timer from the right circle off a cross-crease pass. His second went into an empty net. Kaprizov is off to a white-hot start to the season. He's riding a four-game, nine-point streak (three goals, six asssits), and he's put up points in six of Minnesota's seven games this season (four goals, nine assists). Five of those points came on the power play, including an assist on Matt Boldy's game-winning goal Thursday. Kaprizov is now among the NHL's top-five scorers and elite fantasy play every time his blades touch the ice.

Matt Boldy breaks 3rd-period tie, Wild top Lightning 4-2 to remain unbeaten in regulation
Matt Boldy broke a tie 54 seconds into the third period, and the Minnesota Wild remained unbeaten in regulation, topping the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-2 on Thursday nightOCTOBER 25 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Marc-Andre Fleury - Between pipes Thursday Fleury will tend the twine on the road against the Lightning on Thursday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Impact Fleury gave up four goals on 34 shots in an overtime loss to Seattle in his only other appearance this season. At this point, Filip Gustavsson has been too good to pull from the crease, having gone 4-0-1 with a 1.40 GAA in five contests, however, a road matchup in Pittsburgh on Tuesday could see the Flower starting again soon.
OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
Jared Spurgeon - Expected to practice Friday Spurgeon (lower body) will travel to Philadelphia and is set to practice with the Wild on Friday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Impact Spurgeon has missed the last four games and will sit out Thursday's clash in Tampa Bay. The defenseman has an assist with four hits and six blocked shots in two games this season. He could return as early as Saturday in Philadelphia.
OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan Hartman - Set to miss out Thursday Hartman (upper body) is expected to remain on the shelf versus the Lightning on Thursday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Impact Hartman will be out of action for his third consecutive contest due to his lingering upper-body injury. Still, the fact that the 30-year-old winger is traveling with the team should bode well for a short-term absence. For now, Marco Rossi and Joel Eriksson Ek figure to fill the top-six center roles for the Wild.
OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
Jonas Brodin - Deals assist in Tuesday's win Brodin logged an assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Panthers.
Impact Brodin has been steady to begin the season, playing at least 21 minutes in each game while earning three assists over six contests. The 31-year-old defenseman is capable of playing in a top-four role thanks to his defensive play, as evidenced by his plus-2 rating and 18 blocked shots so far. He also has 12 shots on net and six hits, giving him a little bit of category coverage despite a lack of a consistent power-play role.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Marcus Johansson - Tallies in win Johansson scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Panthers.
Impact Johansson's first goal of the season snapped a three-game dry spell for the winger. The 34-year-old has held down a middle-six role with power-play time, but he's had little impact on offense. Johansson is at three points, 10 shots on net, six hits and a plus-2 rating over five appearances this season, and it's unlikely he keeps up that level of physical play in the long run.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Marco Rossi - Scores again Tuesday Rossi scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Panthers.
Impact Rossi has scored in three straight games, and he's earned at least one point in five straight contests. The 23-year-old center is up to three goals, three assists, 13 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through six outings. Rossi should continue to return solid offense as long as he stays on the Wild's top line.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Mats Zuccarello - Two-point effort in win Zuccarello scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Panthers.
Impact Both points came in the second period as the Wild put the game away. Zuccarello has found the scoresheet in five of the first six games this season, and the veteran winger has racked up four goals and seven points -- including a goal and two helpers on the power play.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Kirill Kaprizov - Two more helpers Tuesday Kaprizov notched two assists in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Panthers.
Impact The 27-year-old helped set up tallies by Marco Rossi in the first period and Mats Zuccarello in the second. Kaprizov has reeled off three straight multi-point performances, and through the first six games this season he's already piled up two goals and 10 points.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Joel Eriksson Ek - Two points against Florida Eriksson Ek picked up an even-strength goal and a power-play assist in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Panthers.
Impact Both points came in the second period as the Wild put the game away. It was Eriksson Ek's first multi-point performance of the season, and the 27-year-old center seems fully recovered from the broken nose that cost him two games.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Matt Boldy - Two-point effort Tuesday Boldy scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Panthers.
Impact After helping to set up Marcus Johansson for what proved to be the game-winner midway through the first period, Boldy potted his own tally early in the second to give the Wild a 3-0 lead. It's the third multi-point performance in six games for the 23-year-old winger, and Boldy has amassed three goals and eight points so far in 2024-25 -- including two goals and four points on the power play.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Jake Middleton - Three helpers against Cats Middleton notched three assists while adding three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Panthers.
Impact The veteran blueliner made a big impact at both ends of the ice in his first multi-point performance since Jan. 18 of last season. Middleton has a goal and four points in six games so far in 2024-25, but his 22 blocked shots is fifth in the NHL, just three behind league leaders Chris Tanev and Brandon Carlo.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Filip Gustavsson - Sharp in Tuesday's win Gustavsson made 24 saves in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Panthers.
Impact Sam Bennett spoiled his shutout bid in the second period, but otherwise Gustavsson was sharp as he won his third straight start. The 26-year-old netminder has quickly put his tough 2023-24 campaign behind him, going 4-0-1 to begin the current season with a stellar 1.40 GAA and .952 save percentage.
