Wild's Mats Zuccarello: Dishes pair of power-play helpers
Zuccarello recorded two power-play assists and three shots on goal in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.
Zuccarello has yet to be held off the scoresheet in his six playoff games this year. He's earned two goals and seven helpers, as well as 13 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating so far. The 38-year-old winger is likely to continue being a strong playmaker in a top-six role and on the power play.

Wild's Ryan Hartman: Strikes on power play in win
Hartman scored a power-play goal on three shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.
Hartman got a tip on a deflected shot to pot the Wild's third goal of the contest. The 31-year-old forward has contributed two goals and an assist over three contests against the Avalanche in the second round. He's at three goals, four helpers, 29 shots on net, 17 hits, nine blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-1 rating over nine playoff outings. Hartman provides solid two-way play, though the penalties could ultimately come back to bite the Wild down the line.

Wild's Matt Boldy: Fills empty cage
Boldy scored an empty-net goal on five shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.
Boldy's last three goals have all gone into empty nets. The 25-year-old is up to seven tallies, four assists, 42 shots on net, 14 hits and a plus-9 rating across nine playoff contests. The Avalanche have mostly been able to contain the winger in the second round, but he's talented enough to find a way to turn that around as the series progresses.

Wild's Quinn Hughes: Goal, assist in win
Hughes scored a power-play goal, dished an assist, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.
Hughes' pair of points came 1:33 apart in the first period, and his goal stood as the game-winner. The 26-year-old blueliner has four multi-point efforts this postseason, including three over his last four contests. He's up to four goals, nine helpers, two power-play points, 16 shots on net, eight blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over nine playoff outings.

Wild's Brock Faber: Posts three points in Game 3 win
Faber scored a goal on four shots, dished two assists, added two PIM, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.
This was Faber's third multi-point effort over nine playoff contests. All of his points came at even strength -- he's yet to log a power-play point this postseason. The defenseman has four goals, five assists, 28 shots on net, 17 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a plus-12 rating. Faber gets overshadowed by Quinn Hughes a lot of the time, but the former is a talented blueliner on his own merits.

Wild's Kirill Kaprizov: Three points in Saturday's win
Kaprizov scored a goal on four shots, dished two power-play assists, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.
Kaprizov has earned five points over three games in the second round. The Avalanche have done a little better at slowing him down compared to the Stars' efforts in the first round, but Kaprizov is tough to contain. He's up to four goals, 10 assists, 24 shots on net, 15 hits and a plus-11 rating over nine playoff outings in his usual top-line role.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Rebounds with win
Wallstedt stopped 35 of 36 shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.
Wallstedt was benched for Game 2 after giving up eight goals on 42 shots in the series opener. Filip Gustavsson fared no better in his first start of the postseason, so Wallstedt was given another chance and delivered his best performance yet to help the Wild avoid a daunting deficit. He's now 5-3 with a 2.61 GAA and a .913 save percentage over eight playoff outings. With Wallstedt getting back in a groove, expect him to get the nod again Monday in Game 4.

Eriksson Ek is dealing with a day-to-day injury, but he didn't participate in Saturday's morning skate and will miss his third straight game.

Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Starting Game 3
Wallstedt will patrol the home crease against Colorado on Saturday in Game 3, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Wallstedt will return to the crease after Filip Gustavsson played in Tuesday's 5-2 defeat against the Avalanche. The 23-year-old Wallstedt allowed eight goals on 42 shots in Game 1's 9-6 loss to Colorado, with the final tally being an empty-netter. He has allowed 22 goals on 227 shots en route to a 4-3 record in the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Wild's Zach Bogosian: Ready to rock
Bogosian (lower body) will play in Game 3 against Colorado on Saturday, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.
After missing Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 2, Bogosian will replace Jeff Petry in Saturday's lineup. The 35-year-old Bogosian hasn't earned a point in seven outings this postseason, but he has posted two shots on goal, eight blocked shots and eight hits.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Officially ruled out
Brodin (lower body) will not be available for Game 3 versus the Avalanche on Saturday, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.
Brodin will be out of action for his fourth straight game due to his lingering lower-body problem. In his last 10 outings, going back to the regular season, the 32-year-old blueliner has failed to find the back of the net while producing two assists, 13 shots and 23 blocks. As long as Brodin is on the shelf, Daemon Hunt figures to continue seeing minutes on the third pairing.

Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: In contention Saturday
Eriksson EK (lower body) hasn't been ruled out for Saturday's Game 3 clash with Colorado, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Eriksson Ek has been out of action for both games of the Wild's second-round series due to his lower-body issue. In six games against the Stars in the first round, the 29-year-old center notched three goals and two assists, including a pair of power-play markers. If Eriksson Ek is given the green light to play in Game 3, he should reclaim a spot in the top six in addition to seeing power-play minutes.

Wild's Daemon Hunt: Nabs first career playoff point
Hunt registered an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 2.
Hunt's helper was his first career playoff point, coming in his second appearance. The 23-year-old defenseman is filling in for Jonas Brodin (lower body) on the left side of the Wild's blue line, though the team is leaning heavily on what's left of its top four. Hunt picked up six assists, 43 blocked shots, 21 hits and 19 shots on net over 32 regular-season outings.

Wild's Marcus Johansson: Tallies again Tuesday
Johansson scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 2.
Johansson has scored in both games of the second round, surpassing his output of one goal over six contests against the Stars in the first round. Still, his scoring hasn't led to general success for the Wild, who are down 2-0 against Colorado. Johansson is up to 16 shots on net, 18 hits and a plus-1 rating over eight playoff outings in a second-line role.
