Joel Eriksson Ek - Possible for Thursday Eriksson Ek (lower body) took part in Tuesday's practice and could return to action Thursday versus San Jose, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Impact Eriksson Ek has missed the past five games due to a lower-body issue. He has accumulated 29 goals, 60 points, 232 shots on net and 154 hits across 66 games this season. Once he is cleared to return, Eriksson Ek will likely skate on the top line and work on the first power-play unit.

Jack Peart - Inks entry-level deal Peart signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Minnesota on Tuesday.
Impact Peart produced three goals and 14 points in 38 games for St. Cloud State University during the 2023-24 campaign. The Wild selected the 20-year-old defender with the No. 54 overall pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. With his first pro contract set to begin in 2024-25, Peart could join AHL Iowa on an amateur tryout for the remainder of the seaosn.

Connor Bedard or Brock Faber? Huge homers Russo and Lazerus debate the Calder Bedard has met huge expectations while Faber has played a crucial role in patching the Wild's faltering blue line. So who has the best case?
MARCH 26 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Making Brock Faber's case for Calder: NHL players and coaches on why he could edge Connor Bedard Bedard may be a phenomenon, but around the league, many are struck with how Faber has led the Wild: "He's a stud."
MARCH 25 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Brock Faber - Two-point effort Saturday Faber scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blues.
Impact His tally late in the third period earned a crucial point for the Wild, tying the game at 4-4, but they couldn't find a winner in OT. Faber's offense has faded late in his first full NHL campaign, but he still has three goals and six points over the last nine games. and Saturday's effort gave the 21-year-old blueliner 40 points (seven goals, 33 helpers) on the season.
MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE
Kirill Kaprizov - Two helpers against St. Louis Kaprizov picked up two assists in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blues.
Impact The 26-year-old winger helped set up both of Marco Rossi's tallies in the second period. Kaprizov has five multi-point performances in the last 10 games, a stretch in which he's amassed 10 goals and 16 points, and he sits one point short of reaching 80 on the season.
MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE
Marco Rossi - Lights lamp twice in OT loss Rossi scored two goals in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blues.
Impact Both goals came in the second period as the Wild grabbed a 3-2 lead, only to see it slip away late. The performance snapped Rossi out of a slump that had seen the 22-year-old manage only one goal and two points over the prior 14 games, and his second tally Saturday gave him 20 on the season. If the Wild going to move into a playoff spot over the final weeks of the regular season, they'll probably need Rossi to get hot.
MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE
Marc-Andre Fleury - Falls to Blues in OT Fleury stopped 22 shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to St. Louis.
Impact The Wild took a 3-2 lead into the third period, but Fleury couldn't bring it home as Jordan Kyrou beat him twice in the third before Brandon Saad slipped a puck through his five-hole in OT. Fleury hasn't won in three straight starts, going 0-1-2 while giving up 12 goals on 80 shots (.850 save percentage), and with Minnesota fighting to stay in the playoff picture, it may not be long before Filip Gustavsson reclaims the top job in the Wild crease.
MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE
Riley Heidt - Inks entry-level contract Heidt signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Wild on Saturday.
Impact Heidt has been on fire with WHL Prince George this season, posting 34 goals and 80 assists over 65 appearances. He was selected 64th overall in 2023. Heidt has displayed a strong scoring touch at the junior level while adding a physical edge despite a smallish 5-foot-11 frame. The forward is likely multiple years away from the NHL still, as he'll probably need to test his skills in the AHL eventually.

Marc-Andre Fleury - Facing Blues Fleury will be between the home pipes versus St. Louis on Saturday, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Impact Fleury faced the Blues on Mar. 16, giving up two goals on 37 shots in a 2-1 overtime loss. He didn't fare well Wednesday, allowing five goals on 16 shots before he was pulled in the second period. Overall, the 39-year-old netminder is 16-12-4 with a 2.79 GAA and a .902 save percentage.

Jonas Brodin - Could play Thursday Brodin (lower body) will miss Saturday's tilt versus St. Louis, but could return for Thursday's game against San Jose, according to Jessi Pierce of NHL.com.

He has 29 goals and 60 points in 66 games, one off his career high in points set last season. Eriksson Ek will be replaced on the top line by Marco Rossi, if he is unable to play.
