2024 Fantasy Outlook
Wallstedt is one of the top goaltending prospects in pro hockey, and his time could be fast approaching. His consistency has sometimes been criticized as robotic, and he doesn't have Yaroslav Askarov's acrobatic athleticism, but fantasy managers will take strong and steady any day of the week. While Minnesota's Filip Gustavsson struggled in the NHL, Wallstedt had a terrific season behind a weak Iowa squad in the AHL. His .910 save percentage was top 20 overall for a team that finished among the league's worst. It would be a huge step for Wallstedt to start in the NHL, but he could end up splitting time with Marc-Andre Fleury if Gustavsson gets traded. Minnesota's goaltending situation will be worth monitoring in 2024-25. Read Past Outlooks

Dealing with undisclosed injury

Wallstedt has missed the last five games for AHL Iowa due to an undisclosed injury, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Wallstedt's injury normally wouldn't have been a big deal for Minnesota fans but with Marc-Andre Fleury (illness) questionable against the Avalanche on Thursday, the team may have to use an emergency backup goalie as the No. 2 option behind Filip Gustavsson due to a lack of viable options. Considering the organization decided to sign Dylan Ferguson to a two-way deal Tuesday, fantasy managers probably shouldn't be expecting Wallstedt's absence to be a short-term issue.

GMinnesota Wild  Minors
October 11, 2024
Wallstedt is expected to defend the visiting crease in Winnipeg on Sunday, according to Jessi Pierce of NHL.com.
ANALYSIS
Wallstedt is part of a three-goaltender rotation in Minnesota this season, along with Filip Gustavsson and Marc-Andre Fleury. Gustavsson got the call Opening Night on Thursday, while Fleury is expected to play at home Saturday against the Kraken. That leaves Sunday's tilt in Winnipeg for Wallstedt to make his season debut. Wallstedt is considered the Wild's goaltender of the future and playing with the veteran Fleury all season can only help his career.
