Wild's Devin Shore: Sticking in lineup amid slump
Shore's point drought reached 13 games in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
The Wild have scored two or fewer goals in 11 of 14 contests in that span, with Shore serving as a healthy scratch once. The team's injury issues have largely kept the 30-year-old forward in the lineup as a fourth-line forward. Since there's not a lot of offense to go around, it's no surprise a depth player like Shore is having trouble chipping in. He's at four points, 35 shots on net, 69 hits, 33 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 49 appearances this season.

Wild's Mats Zuccarello: Registers helper Tuesday
Zuccarello logged an assist and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
Zuccarello has three goals and two assists over his last eight outings. The Wild's offense has managed just 17 goals in that span, so points are hard to come by, even for a top-line winger. Zuccarello has 45 points, 130 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 59 appearances this season. While injuries, both his own and the lower-body issue that has kept Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) sidelined for the better part of two months, have taken a toll on Zuccarello's scoring output, it's also possible part of his decline is due to age, as he has played the full season at 37 years old.

Wild's Marcus Johansson: Nets lone goal in loss
Johansson scored a goal and added two hits in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
Johansson tallied for the third time in his last six games to get the Wild on the board late in the third period, but that was all they could muster against Adin Hill. The 34-year-old Johansson continues to serve as a depth scorer on the second line. He's now at eight goals, 26 points, 101 shots on net, 39 hits and a minus-6 rating over 62 appearances.

Wild's Marc-Andre Fleury: No luck against former team
Fleury stopped 33 of 37 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Golden Knights, who also scored an empty-netter.
Fleury's last two starts -- separated by more than two weeks -- have come against two of his former teams. He's lost both of those games, giving up a total of six goals on 58 shots to the Golden Knights and Penguins. The Wild are not safe in the wild-card race out west due to the hard-charging Blues, so Filip Gustavsson is likely to see a heavy workload while Fleury handles backup duties, at least until Minnesota's playoff position is clinched. Fleury is down to 12-9-1 with a 2.78 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 23 appearances. The Wild have another tough matchup on tap Thursday when they host the Capitals.

Wild's Cameron Crotty: Sent down again
Crotty was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Tuesday.
Jonas Brodin was able to play Tuesday versus the Golden Knights, so Crotty was not needed to be in the lineup. He could be called up again if the Wild have future injury concerns on the blue line.

Wild's Declan Chisholm: Unavailable Tuesday
Chisholm (lower body) won't play versus Vegas on Tuesday, according to Jessi Pierce of NHL.com.
Chisholm is day-to-day and will miss at least one game after getting injured in Monday's 3-0 loss to Dallas. He has registered two goals, 12 points, 61 shots on net, 66 blocked shots and 29 hits in 61 appearances this season. Jonas Brodin (lower body) will replace Chisholm in Tuesday's lineup.

Wild's Marcus Foligno: Absent again Tuesday
Foligno (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus the Golden Knights, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
Foligno is set to be out of the lineup for a fifth straight game. It's unclear when he'll be able to return, as it has not yet been reported if he's returned to practice or not. Foligno is still considered day-to-day. The Wild play at home Thursday versus the Capitals.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Back in action
Brodin (lower body) is set to play Tuesday versus the Golden Knights, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
This appears to all be part of the plan for Brodin's return to action. He came back from a lower-body injury initially to play Saturday versus the Sabres, but with a crowded schedule, the Wild opted to rest Brodin on Monday against the Stars for the first half of a back-to-back. He's now back in action, while Declan Chisholm (lower body) won't be in the lineup.

Wild's Marc-Andre Fleury: Defending crease Tuesday
Fleury will patrol the home crease against Vegas on Tuesday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Fleury will get the second half of Minnesota's back-to-back after Filip Gustavsson played in Monday's 3-0 loss to Dallas. The 40-year-old Fleury has one victory in his last four outings (1-3-0), allowing 13 goals on 116 shots. He has a 12-8-1 record with a 2.72 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 22 appearances this season. Vegas ranks fourth in the league with 3.37 goals per game in 2024-25.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Tagged with loss Monday
Gustavsson stopped 26 of 28 shots in Monday's 3-0 loss to the Stars. The third goal was an empty-netter in the final minute of the third period.
Gustavsson looked decent between the pipes against one of the best teams in the Western Conference and limited the damage to just two goals, but the offense didn't provide him any kind of support. As a result, the 26-year-old netminder saw the end of his three-game winning streak, but he continues to play at a high level. He's posted a save percentage above .900 in six of his last seven outings, going 4-2-1 with a 1.70 GAA and a .939 save percentage over that stretch.

Wild's Cameron Crotty: Recalled Tuesday
Crotty was summoned under emergency conditions from AHL Iowa on Tuesday.
Crotty has eight assists and 47 PIM in 56 outings with Iowa in 2024-25. Defensemen Jonas Brodin (lower body) and Declan Chisholm (undisclosed) are questionable Tuesday versus Vegas, so Crotty might draw into Minnesota's lineup for the first time this season.

Wild's Declan Chisholm: Departs Monday's game
Chisholm sustained an undisclosed injury after blocking a shot in Monday's 3-0 loss to Dallas, according to Joe Smith of The Athletic.
Chisholm logged two PIM and two blocked shots in 7:51 of ice time before exiting. Head coach John Hynes did not have an update on the left-shot blueliner's status after the game, and with Jonas Brodin dealing with a lower-body injury, the Wild may have to recall a defenseman from AHL Iowa ahead of Tuesday's home matchup against the Golden Knights.

Wild's Cameron Crotty: Returns to minors
Crotty was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Monday.
Crotty was recalled from AHL Iowa on Sunday on an emergency basis, but his services weren't needed Monday versus the Stars. He has eight helpers over 56 minor-league appearances in 2024-25.

Wild's Liam Ohgren: Sent down Monday
Ohgren was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Monday.
The Wild currently have 12 healthy forwards on the roster after sending Ohgren to the minors, so he could be back with the big club in short order. This move could also signal that one of Marcus Foligno (upper body) or Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) is close to returning, but that remains to be seen. Ohgren has two goals and five points across 24 outings with Minnesota this season.

Wild's Marcus Foligno: Remains unavailable
Foligno (upper body) won't play against Dallas on Monday, per Joe Smith of The Athletic.
Foligno will miss his fourth straight game, and it's unclear if he will be ready to play against Vegas on Tuesday. He has registered 11 goals, 22 points, 72 shots on net, 219 hits and 66 PIM across 67 appearances this season. When Foligno is available to return, Brendan Gaunce could return to the minors.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: In goal Monday
Gustavsson will defend the road net against Dallas on Monday, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
Gustavsson has stopped 82 of 84 shots during his three-game winning streak. He has a 28-15-4 record with five shutouts, a 2.48 GAA and a .917 save percentage through 48 appearances this season. Dallas ranks fifth in the league with 3.36 goals per game in 2024-25.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Won't play Monday
Brodin (lower body) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Stars.
Brodin returned to action Saturday against the Sabres after missing nine games due to a lower-body injury. Head coach John Hynes said Monday that Brodin didn't aggravate his injury, and the defenseman is being held out since the Wild will play three games over the next four days, and the team seemingly wants to manage his workload. The 31-year-old is considered day-to-day, and his next opportunity to suit up will be Tuesday against the Golden Knights. Declan Chisholm will enter the lineup against Dallas on Monday.
