Oilers Notice Improved Defensive Play Despite Loss to Wild to Start Homestand

  • On Tuesday, Jesper Wallstedt made 33 saves for his league-leading fourth shutout in 10 games as the Minnesota Wild beat the Edmonton Oilers 1-0 in Edmonton.
  • Drafted 20th overall in 2021, Wallstedt was named the NHL's Rookie of the Month for November after a 6-0-0 run with a.967 save percentage.
  • Key moments included Brodin's goal and Wallstedt's pivotal saves, robbing Zach Hyman on the man advantage and denying Connor McDavid while Minnesota's penalty killers endured a 15-6 shot edge.
  • Wallstedt's night earned him his seventh straight win and extended the Minnesota Wild's 12-game point streak , as the team prepares to face the Calgary Flames on Thursday.
  • Historically, his run is notable because Jesper Wallstedt has five career shutouts in 15 games, the second-fewest behind Frank Brimsek, and four shutouts in six games since Brimsek.
