2024 Fantasy Outlook
Wallstedt is one of the top goaltending prospects in pro hockey, and his time could be fast approaching. His consistency has sometimes been criticized as robotic, and he doesn't have Yaroslav Askarov's acrobatic athleticism, but fantasy managers will take strong and steady any day of the week. While Minnesota's Filip Gustavsson struggled in the NHL, Wallstedt had a terrific season behind a weak Iowa squad in the AHL. His .910 save percentage was top 20 overall for a team that finished among the league's worst. It would be a huge step for Wallstedt to start in the NHL, but he could end up splitting time with Marc-Andre Fleury if Gustavsson gets traded. Minnesota's goaltending situation will be worth monitoring in 2024-25. Read Past Outlooks

Getting start Saturday

September 18, 2024
Wallstedt is set to be between the pipes on the road against the Jets on Saturday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Wallstedt taking the first game of the preseason by no means guarantees he will earn a roster spot coming out of training camp, but it certainly is something worth monitoring. The 21-year-old netminder has just three games of NHL experience, having gone 2-1-0 with a 3.02 GAA and one shutout last season. Veteran Marc-Andre Fleury is slated to serve in the backup role Saturday, giving Filip Gustavsson the night off.
