US EditionWild Edge Hurricanes in Shootout
Jesper Wallstedt’s 42 saves and perfect shootout performance helped Minnesota Wild improve to 7-1-1 in November amid a condensed NHL schedule.
- On Wednesday, Jesper Wallstedt made 42 saves, stopped all three Carolina Hurricanes' shootout attempts, and Matt Boldy scored the only shootout goal for a 4-3 win.
- Amid a condensed schedule, Wild head coach John Hynes said frequent back-to-backs push the team toward a two-goalie rotation, hinting Filip Gustavsson will start Friday and Jesper Wallstedt Sunday.
- Wallstedt's.926 save percentage after seven starts ranks third among rookie goalies, his shutout streak reached 175 minutes, 12 seconds, and Carolina scored the first five-on-five goal in more than 302 minutes.
- Taking the win, the Wild earn two standings points, John Hynes credited `great goaltending`, and Vladimir Tarasenko was placed on injured reserve retroactive to Nov. 14 as they prepare for a three-game pre-Thanksgiving road trip starting Friday.
- Amid the push to right the ship, Jesper Wallstedt said competing with Filip Gustavsson makes both goalies better, and John Hynes said `it looks like a good recipe right now`.
