MINNESOTA WILD NEWS

Hunter Haight - Rejoins AHL Iowa Haight was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Tuesday.

Impact The Wild needed to make room on the roster after activating Marcus Foligno (lower body) from injured reserve, which resulted in Haight being dropped to the minors. The 21-year-old Haight will head back to Iowa, where he's recorded five goals, six points and a minus-12 rating across 16 contests in 2025-26.

David Jiricek - Available Tuesday Jiricek (lower body) will be in the lineup for Tuesday's home matchup versus the Capitals, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

Impact Jiricek exited Sunday's contest against the Bruins as a result of a lower-body injury, but he won't miss any additional action. The right-shot blueliner should skate on the third pairing alongside Matt Kiersted on Tuesday. The 22-year-old Jiricek has not recorded a point through 14 appearances this year.

Vincent Hinostroza - Upgraded to day-to-day Hinostroza (lower body) won't be in the lineup against Washington on Tuesday but is considered day-to-day, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

Impact It's a step in the right direction for Hinostroza, even if he won't be in action for Tuesday's tilt. Prior to his absence, the winger was mired in a six-game pointless streak during which he managed seven shots, four hits and one block while averaging 9:41 of ice time. Once given the all-clear, Hinostroza figures to slot into a bottom-six role, though he'll need to be activated off injured reserve first.

Marcus Johansson - Not available against Washington Johansson (lower body) won't be an option against the Capitals on Tuesday and is day-to-day, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.

Impact While Johansson will not be available Tuesday, the Wild are scheduled to get Marcus Foligno (lower body) back in the lineup. Yakov Trenin is expected to move into the top six due to Johansson's absence. The 35-year-old winger's next chance to suit up will be in Columbus on Thursday.

Zach Bogosian - Sidelined by lower-body injury Bogosian is dealing with a lower-body injury and will be out of action versus Washington on Tuesday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bogosian finds himself back on the shelf after having missed a month of the season earlier in the year with a lower-body problem. With injuries piling up on the blue line, Matt Kiersted looks set to be on the third pairing with David Jiricek (lower body).

Jonas Brodin - Remains day-to-day Brodin (lower body) is still day-to-day, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Tuesday.

Impact Brodin will miss his third straight game against Washington on Tuesday. It's unclear if he will be ready to return for Thursday's road matchup against Columbus. Brodin has contributed three goals, nine points, 28 shots on net and 66 blocked shots across 30 appearances this season.

Filip Gustavsson - Patrolling crease against Caps Gustavsson will defend the cage at home versus Washington on Tuesday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gustavsson will be looking for his fourth straight victory after going 3-0-0 with a 1.67 GAA in his last three outings. While the 27-year-old netminder has been splitting the workload with Jesper Wallstedt since mid-November, he will be making his fourth appearance in the club's last five games.

Marcus Foligno - Slated to play Tuesday Foligno (lower body) is expected to be activated off injured reserve and make his return to the lineup for Tuesday's home game versus the Capitals, Michael Russo of The Athletic re...

Impact Foligno last suited up Nov. 26 in Chicago, as he's missed nine games in a row due to his lower-body injury. The veteran winger operated on the third line and worked with the No. 2 power-play unit during Tuesday's morning skate. Marcus Johansson (lower body) will come out of the lineup in correspondence with Foligno's return.

Daemon Hunt - Gathers assist in win Hunt logged an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.

Impact Hunt continues to play in a third-pairing role. He's suited up in four straight games due to the absences of Jake Middleton (upper body) and Jonas Brodin (upper body), and with David Jiricek (lower body) joining the injured ranks Sunday, Hunt may get a longer look in the lineup. Hunt has little fantasy upside, as he has just two assists with 10 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 11 appearances this season.

Nicolas Aube-Kubel - Snags first assist of season Aube-Kubel notched an assist and four PIM in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.

Impact Aube-Kubel has filled a bottom-six role over the last two games as the Wild navigate a handful of injuries to wingers. The 29-year-old provides more grit than scoring, so he's unlikely to be a player fantasy managers need to track. He put up 13 points in 23 AHL games prior to his call-up.

Brock Faber - Earns two power-play assists in win Faber logged two power-play assists, three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.

Impact Faber was still able to make an impact with the man advantage despite Quinn Hughes making his Minnesota debut Sunday. The 23-year-old Faber will likely be limited to the second power-play unit moving forward, though he could pair with Hughes at even strength. Sunday's effort ended an eight-game slump for Faber, who has racked up 17 points, 73 shots on net, 69 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 33 outings overall.
