Wallstedt shut out the defending NHL Western Conference champs on the road, his league-leading fourth whitewash of the season.

Minnesota Wild rookie goalie Jesper Wallstedt remains dominant. Can he and veteran Filip Gustavsson deliver bargain-bin elite tandem numbers?

In the 2021 NHL Draft, Edmonton traded away the pick that Minnesota went on to use on their standout rookie goalie.

When he got to the team’s locker room before Friday’s showdown with previously red-hot Colorado, every stall in the room had a T-shirt in it featuring the words, “The Wall of St. Paul” and an illustration of Wallstedt doing his signature postgame celebration, which is part fist pump and part thrust with his stick like you might see from a fencer.
