The 29-year-old defenseman makes most of his contributions in his own zone, so he's not a significant target for fantasy managers. He's at eight points, 63 shots on net, 95 blocked shots, 35 hits and a plus-7 rating through 43 contests overall -- that's well below his usual scoring pace, so a strong second half of the campaign wouldn't be shocking.... See Less Wild's Kirill Kaprizov: Finds twine in loss Kaprizov scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Coyotes. Kaprizov extended his point streak to six games (three goals, five assists) with his second-period tally Monday. The 25-year-old buried a pass from Mats Zuccarello at 3:39 of the second period.
Minnesota Wild News, Scores, Status, Schedule - NHLTop Wild News Wild's Jonas Brodin: Ruled out Rotowire Feb 8, 2023 As expected, Brodin (lower body) won't play Wednesday versus the Stars, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Brodin suffered a lower-body injury during Monday's loss to the Coyotes, and it sounds like he could be in danger of missing multiple contests with the issue.
Eriksson Ek set up Jonas Brodin's third-period tally. Over his last seven games, Eriksson Ek has produced four goals and four helpers while only being held off the scoresheet once. The 26-year-old center is up to 41 points, 150 shots on net, 69 hits, 30 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 49 contests this season.... See Less Wild's Mats Zuccarello: Collects helper Monday Zuccarello posted an assist, eight shots on goal and two PIM in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Coyotes. Zuccarello earned his 30th assist of the season when he set up Kirill Kaprizov's opening tally in the second period. Since he missed two games with an upper-body injury in January, Zuccarello has racked up three goals and six assists in 10 contests.
He's also gone minus-7 in that span, indicating he still has work to do in the defensive zone. He was scratched Dec. 9 due to defensive trouble, so his spot in the lineup can't be considered totally safe yet. The 22-year-old has three goals, 22 assists, 60 shots on goal, 30 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-15 rating through 48 appearances.... See Less Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Earns helper Monday Eriksson Ek recorded an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and three hits in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Coyotes.
This was Fleury's fourth straight start, though the All-Star break should have provided him plenty of rest. With a capable backup in Filip Gustavsson, it wouldn't be surprising to see Fleury slip into a timeshare down the stretch. The 38-year-old is down to 16-11-3 with a 2. 88 GAA and a. 905 save percentage through 32 appearances. The Wild's next game is Wednesday in Dallas.... See Less Wild's Marc-Andre Fleury: Guarding cage Monday Feb 5, 2023 Fleury will get the starting nod in Arizona on Monday, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Fleury picked up two straight wins just before the All-Star break and will look to carry that momentum over to Monday's outing.
The Stars rank ninth in the league this campaign with 3. 35 goals per game.... See Less Wild's Ryan Hartman: Hands out helper Hartman produced an assist and two PIM in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Coyotes. Hartman reached the 10-assist mark with a secondary helper on Jonas Brodin's third-period tally. It's been 10 games since Hartman last scored a goal, and with just three helpers and a minus-7 rating in that span, fantasy managers can likely find better options on the waiver wire.
He's at 15 points, 66 shots on net, 29 hits, 49 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 27 contests overall.... See Less Wild's Calen Addison: Grabs helper in loss Addison notched an assist, three shots on goal, two hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Coyotes. Addison has continued to contribute solid offense with four assists over his last eight games.
The veteran netminder is 16-10-3 with a 2. 87 GAA and a. 905 save percentage through 31 appearances this season. He has a lackluster 7-6-3 record on the road despite a. 909 save percentage in those contests.... See Less Wild's Alex Goligoski: Being used sparingly Feb 4, 2023 Goligoski has been a healthy scratch for Minnesota's last three games. Goligoski has been used in just 19 of Minnesota's 48 games this season despite staying healthy. When he has been in the lineup in 2022-23, the 37-year-old's contributed a goal, three points, 19 hits and 26 blocks while averaging 17:02 of ice time. Unless an injury to a defenseman forces Minnesota to alter its plans, Goligoski is unlikely to see his role significantly grow as the campaign progresses....
Kaprizov is up to 28 goals, 60 points, 186 shots on net, 44 hits and a minus-1 rating through 49 contests. He could push for another 100-point campaign -- Kaprizov is an easy activation in virtually all fantasy formats.... See Less Wild's Marc-Andre Fleury: Falls short Monday Fleury allowed three goals on 36 shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Coyotes. The Wild twice held one-goal leads, but Fleury gave up two goals to Jakob Chychrun and one more to Jack McBain in the loss.
