Wild Turn to Filip Gustavsson for Game 2 vs. Avalanche

The move signals a performance-based reset after Colorado’s nine-goal opener.

Overview

  • The Wild will start Filip Gustavsson in net Tuesday in Denver after coach John Hynes announced the change hours before puck drop.
  • The switch follows Sunday’s 9-6 loss, when Jesper Wallstedt allowed eight goals while staying in for the full game.
  • John Hynes said the staff trusts both goalies and described Gustavsson as prepared and eager to play.
  • Gustavsson last played April 13 and finished the regular season 28-15-6 with a 2.69 goals-against average.
  • Minnesota remains without Joel Eriksson Ek and Jonas Brodin due to lower-body injuries, with other lineup calls to be decided at game time.
