Listen "SHUTOUT: Jesper Wallstedt Joins ELITE Company with Second Career Shutout | Has He Put Last Year's STRUGGLES Behind Him?"
Episode Synopsis
Jesper Wallstedt notches his second career shutout as the Minnesota Wild edge Calgary 2-0, with Matt Boldy and Kirill Kaprizov providing the offense. The 21-year-old rookie goaltender's confidence surge continues, making him just the fourth Wild netminder to record multiple shutouts as a rookie alongside Josh Harding, Darcy Kuemper, and Kaapo Kahkonen.Mats Zuccarello's return transforms the Wild's lineup dynamics. Since 2021, Kaprizov and Zuccarello together post a plus-31 goal differential at five-on-five, while the Wild without either player sits at minus-31. The chemistry between Minnesota's top duo proves irreplaceable, with Zuccarello's leadership providing the spark this team desperately needed.Host Seth Toupal and Alex Micheletti break down Danila Yurov's puzzling healthy scratch for face-off specialist Ben Jones, who contributed zero points across three games. They question the Wild's deployment of young talent, including Zeev Buium's usage and David Jiricek's miscast role. Is Minnesota mismanaging their future assets?Discover why Wallstedt's emergence could reshape Minnesota's goaltending hierarchy and what Zuccarello's impact means for the Wild's playoff push.Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: Locked On WildFollow/Subscribe Anywhere: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnWildFollow Locked On NHL: linktr.ee/lockedonNHLJoin our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/ZAB6yyckHave a Question for the Show or a Topic you want Covered?
