Welcome to the Weekly Rewind, a column published every Monday that recaps the past week of Minnesota Wild hockey, including the team’s record, players with the highest stats, and more. This week, we’ll be looking at how the Wild did from January 20 to 26, 2025.
Gustavsson is set to start on the road against Toronto on Wednesday, per Kevin Falness of KFAN 1003. Gustavsson saved 18 of 20 shots en route to a 4-2 win over Chicago on Sunday. He has a 19-10-3 record,
Kaprizov had a couple scoring chances for the Wild (28-16-4), who were delighted to get their superstar back after he missed the last 12 games with a lower-body injury. Karel Vejmelka made 26 saves for Utah (21-19-7) in what was just their second shutout win of the season.
Gustavsson gave up two goals on 20 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks. The Wild led 3-0 after two periods, and while the Blackhawks made it interesting in the third, Gustavsson was able to protect the lead.
Fleury is 12-6-3 with a 2.67 goals-against average, .911 save percentage and two shutouts in 21 games at Bell Centre. In his previous game in Montreal on October 17th, 2023, he made 26 saves for the Wild in a 5-2 win. Named the first star of the game, he saluted the crowd, which continued chanting his name after the final buzzer.
That’s the feeling of Maple Leafs goaltender Matt Murray and winger Ryan Reaves, who have had the pleasure of calling Fleury a teammate in the National Hockey League.
Wild general manager Bill Guerin announced on Tuesday that Kaprizov is being shut down for the time being to have surgery and repair the lower body injury that has allowed the team’s top scorer to play in just three games since Christmas.
On their seventh try, they finally eluded Blackhawks goalie Petr Mrazek 5 minutes, 43 seconds into the first period when Spurgeon sent the puck past Mrazek’s blocker after a 4-on-2 rush for the Wild. Marco Rossi factored into the play to pick up an assist on the Wild’s past four goals, tying a team record for the second time this season.
According to a report from the Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Sam Ersson will be called up to join Team Sweden's roster for the 4-Nations Face-Off in February if one of their two currently-injured goaltenders are unable to play.
Jared Spurgeon, Joel Eriksson Ek and Frederick Gaudreau scored to help the Minnesota Wild top the Chicago Blackhawks 4-2 on Sunday night.
