Joel Eriksson Ek - Nets goal vs. St. Louis Eriksson Ek scored a goal in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Blues.

Matt Boldy - Scores in back-to-back games Boldy scored a goal in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Blues.

Impact Boldy has four points in his last two appearances, tallying two goals and two assists in that span, and he seems to have left behind a woeful stretch where he recorded just one point across seven games between Dec. 20 and Jan. 2. Boldy is up to 15 goals and 35 total points this season, so fantasy managers should continue to trust him even if he has a few pointless streaks here and there.

Zach Bogosian - Finds twine Tuesday Bogosian scored a goal in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Wild.

Impact Bogosian found the back of the net just 1:23 into the game to give the Wild an early lead, although the team would need a third-period comeback to secure the win. This was Bogosian's third goal of the season, but he hasn't been much of a productive presence on offense from his defensive role. He has only three goals and eight points in 41 contests.

Jake Middleton - Shines in return to lineup Middleton recorded a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Blues. He also notched three shots on goal, three hits and a blocked shot.

Impact Middleton stepped onto the ice for the first time since Dec. 12 due to a hand injury, and there's no question he made his presence felt on both ends of the ice. He set up the Wild's opening goal, courtesy of Zach Bogosian just 1:23 into the game, and he'd find the back of the net later in the third frame. This was his second multi-point game of the campaign.

Marc-Andre Fleury - Earns win in relief Tuesday Fleury played in relief and stopped each of the 15 shots he faced to earn the win in Tuesday's 6-4 victory over the Blues.

Impact Fleury stepped onto the ice and saved the day for the Wild, as he looked impressive between the pipes and allowed Minnesota to mount a comeback. This was Fleury's second straight win, and even though he's firmly in a backup role behind Filip Gustavsson, he has gone 3-2-0 with a 2.59 GAA over his last five appearances.

Filip Gustavsson - Gets pulled Tuesday Gustavsson stopped 14 of 18 shots before getting pulled in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Blues.

Impact From a statistical perspective, Gustavsson had one of his worst games of the season Tuesday, but Minnesota turned things around right after he was pulled. This outing also snapped a productive stretch for the 26-year-old Swede, who was coming off a shootout the last time out while posting a save percentage of .900 or higher in each of his previous five starts before Tuesday's dud.

Brock Faber - Injured in Tuesday's game Faber (upper body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Blues.

Impact Faber was injured midway through the first period. The 22-year-old defenseman is a key part of the Wild's defense, so any potential absence looms large, especially since Jared Spurgeon (lower body) is also out. If Faber can't play Thursday against the Avalanche, Travis Dermott is likely to draw into the lineup.
