The Minnesota Wild are set to face the Winnipeg Jets after a challenging homestand, where they only secured one victory. With goaltender Filip Gustavsson sidelined due to injury, rookie Jesper Wallstedt will take the helm in goal. Wallstedt has struggled this season, holding a 3.12 goals-against average and a .889 save percentage.
The Jets, currently the top team in the league, present a formidable challenge, having scored the most goals in the NHL. Despite recent setbacks, the Wild boast an impressive road record, making this matchup critical.
