Jared Spurgeon - Logs another helper Spurgeon produced an assist, three shots on goal, five blocked shots and two hits in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Stars.

Impact Spurgeon has a helper in each of the last two contests after going four games without a point. The 34-year-old defenseman has struggled to carve out much offense this season, though it doesn't help that he missed six games due to a lower-body injury in October. Spurgeon is now at five helpers, 22 shots on net, 19 blocked shots, eight hits and a plus-3 rating over 11 appearances. That matches his point total from 16 outings in 2023-24, a season which was cut short by multiple injuries that required surgery.

Matt Boldy - Gathers assist in loss Boldy notched an assist and two hits in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Stars.

Impact Boldy, a natural winger, started the game as the first-line center. The 23-year-old won six of 13 faceoffs, though he had given up some faceoff duties later in the contest with Marco Rossi moving back up. The Wild's top six could be in flux for a bit as the team navigates the absences of Mats Zuccarello (lower body) and Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body). Boldy's helper was his first since Oct. 26 versus the Flyers, though he had six goals over eight contests in between assists. The 23-year-old is at 18 points, 61 shots on net, 12 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 17 appearances.

Kirill Kaprizov - Scores in Saturday's loss Kaprizov scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Stars.

Impact Kaprizov tallied at 14:10 of the third period to break up Jake Oettinger's shutout bid. The Wild couldn't find an equalizer. Kaprizov is now on a five-game point streak (four goals, six assists) as he continues to cement his status as one of the best players in the league this season. Overall, the 27-year-old winger has 11 goals, 31 points, 54 shots on net and a plus-15 rating over 17 appearances.

Filip Gustavsson - Plays well in Saturday's loss Gustavsson stopped 38 of 40 shots in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Stars.

Impact Mason Marchment had both goals against Gustavsson in this contest. This was the fourth straight game in which Gustavsson has limited an opponent to two goals or fewer, but he's just 2-1-1 in that span. The 26-year-old netminder is having an excellent 2024-25 with a 2.08 GAA and a .927 save percentage through 13 outings. The Wild will be on the road next week, with stops in St. Louis (Tuesday), Edmonton (Thursday) and Calgary (Saturday).

Mats Zuccarello - Undergoes surgery Zuccarello (lower body) underwent surgery Thursday night and is expected to miss 3-4 weeks, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact Zuccarello sustained a lower-body injury during Thursday's game against Montreal and was placed on injured reserve Friday. He's facing a multi-week absence following his procedure, and he's unlikely to be in the mix to return until at least early-to-mid-December. Matt Boldy could take on a first-line role in Zuccarello's absence.

Filip Gustavsson - Starting Saturday Gustavsson will guard the home crease versus Dallas on Saturday, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic.

Impact Gustavsson picked up his first shutout of the season Thursday, stopping 19 shots in a 3-0 win over Montreal. The win raised his record to 8-2-2 with a 2.08 GAA and a .924 save percentage. After a tough 2023-24 campaign, Gustavsson is back on track and is once again a top-10 goaltender in the NHL. He will have a tough matchup against Dallas as the Stars are 10-5-0 and average 3.47 goals per game.

Joel Eriksson Ek - Considered day-to-day Eriksson Ek (lower body) is considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's game against the Stars, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Eriksson Ek exited Thursday's game against the Canadiens due to a lower-body injury, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Saturday's home matchup. However, it doesn't appear as though he's in line to miss significant time, and the Wild will likely monitor him in the hours leading up to Saturday's puck drop before determining his status.
