| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Eric Staal  ActiveEric Staal and the Minnesota Wild were blanked 2-0 in Tuesday's loss to the Winnipeg Jets. The Wild were able to keep the game close, but they were never able to solve Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck. To make matters worse for Staal, he also took a nasty cross-check to the head from Josh Morrissey that went uncalled by the officials. The veteran finished the night with a minus-1 rating and three shots on goal in 20:12 of ice time. The 33-year-old has one goal and one assist in four postseason games. The Wild now find themselves down 3-1 in this best-of-seven series. A loss in Winnipeg on Friday night would end Minnesota's season. Apr 17 |
| 2 | Mikko Koivu ActiveMikko Koivu contributed a pair of assists in Sunday's 6-2 win over Winnipeg in Game 3. Koivu assisted on power-play goals by Mikael Granlund and Zach Parise in the first period. He has picked up at least one helper in each of Minnesota's three playoff games. Koivu has four points in the series so far. Apr 16 |
| 3 | Joel Eriksson Ek ActiveJoel Eriksson Ek found the back of the net in a 3-0 win over Edmonton on Monday night. Eriksson Ek posted an empty-net goal with 44 seconds left in the contest. He didn't have a point in his previous four outings. Eriksson Ek has six goals and 16 points through 72 matches this year. Apr 3 |
| 4 | Matt Cullen ActiveMatt Cullen isn't sure if he'll retire this summer. Cullen spoke about it following the Wild's exit from the playoffs in Game 5, but that wasn't where his mind was at. "I don’t know," Cullen said. "My only thought here the last while was getting it back home for Game 6. So to be honest, I don’t have an answer right now." Cullen is 41-years-old and will celebrate his birthday on Nov. 6th. If he does decide to retire, he'll be ending a career that's spanned 1,445 games and has included three Stanley Cup championships. Apr 22 |
| 5 | Kyle Rau ActiveMinnesota has brought up Kyle Rau from Iowa of the AHL. Rau notched 23 goals and 50 points in 69 minor-league contests this year. He also had one assist in three games with Minnesota in 2017-18. Apr 15 |
| LW | 1 | Jason Zucker ActiveJason Zucker scored 33 goals during the regular season, but he has not lit the lamp through four playoff games. Zucker does not even have a point in Minnesota's first-round series versus Winnipeg. "All that means nothing if I'm not performing in the playoffs," he said. "And right now I'm not. ... I haven't been doing that so far (in the postseason). That's what it comes down to. I need to be better. I know I can be better." Apr 20 |
| 2 | Zach Parise  SidelinedZach Parise will reportedly be sidelined for six-to-eight weeks with a broken sternum. Parise was hurt late in Game 3 versus Winnipeg on Sunday night. He was limited to just 42 games during the regular season because of a back injury. Parise was red hot going into the playoffs and he was playing well in the postseason prior to getting hurt. He just can't seem to catch a break. Apr 17 |
| 3 | Jordan Greenway ActiveJordan Greenway found the back of the net in Sunday's Game 3 win over Winnipeg. Greenway got his first NHL goal in the playoffs after he contributed one assist in six games with the Wild during the regular season. He has two points in three postseason outings. Apr 16 |
| 4 | Marcus Foligno ActiveMarcus Foligno logged just 9:21 of ice time in Game 3, but he made an impact in Minnesota's 6-2 victory. Foligno scored Minnesota's sixth goal of the match and he was involved in a strange tangle up with Jets defender Tyler Myers, which resulted in an injury for the Jets defender. However, before all of that happened, he set the tone physically with some hard hits. Apr 16 |
| 5 | Tyler Ennis ActiveTyler Ennis will be a healthy scratch in Game 5 against the Winnipeg Jets on Friday night. Ennis has played in just one of the five games this postseason. He had eight goals and 22 points in 73 games during the regular season. Cal O'Reilly, Kurtis Gabriel and Louie Belpedio, Justin Kloos and Nikolas Svedberg will also watch the game from the press box. Apr 20 |
| RW | 1 | Mikael Granlund ActiveMikael Granlund produced one goal and one assist in Minnesota's 6-2 win over Winnipeg on Sunday night. Minnesota moved Granlund up to the top line alongside Eric Staal, who also had one goal and one assist in the contest, and Jason Zucker. The change seemed to help spark the offense for the Wild. Apr 16 |
| 2 | Nino Niederreiter ActiveEven after Nino Niederreiter returned from a broken fibula, he wasn't 100%. "There was a lot of games he had played after his injury and he said it was still bothering him, but he played through it," Wild coach Bruce Boudreau revealed. "Only, I thought [Game 4] might have been the first time in a long time you could see him skate and the power he has when he’s working. You break your legs, it’s not easy coming back from it. And everybody wants to come back quick. These guys are not used to getting hurt, so they do and they’re just getting better now." After recording 57 points in 2016-17, Niederreiter finished the regular season with 18 goals and 32 points in 63 games. He had no points and a minus-four rating in the 2018 playoffs. Apr 22 |
| 3 | Charlie Coyle ActiveCharlie Coyle's fractured right fibula early in the season likely hindered him even when he returned. Even if Coyle recovered physically, the time missed was a significant disruption and he had a tough time getting back into the swing of things. "I think his injury in the beginning of the season really set him back," coach Bruce Boudreau said. "I’ve moved him all over the place and used him everywhere, and he hasn’t really had a chance to settle in one specific spot, whether it’s the point on the power play or anything. So I don’t blame him." Coyle had 37 points in 66 regular season games after setting a career-high with 56 points in 2016-17. In the 2018 playoffs, Coyle had no points and a minus-three rating in five games. Apr 22 |
| 4 | Daniel Winnik ActiveDaniel Winnik scored his fifth goal of the season in a 3-2 overtime loss to Vancouver on Sunday. Winnik, who didn't have a point in his previous four outings, gave the Wild a 2-1 lead midway through the third period, but they were unable to hold their advantage. He has accounted for 13 points in 46 games. Jan 15 |
| 5 | Zack Mitchell ActiveZack Mitchell will be a healthy scratch in Saturday's game against the Nashville Predators. Mitchell has three goals and two assists in 22 games this season. This will be the third straight game he watches from the press box. Gustav Olofsson will also serve as a healthy scratch in this one. Mar 24 |
| 6 | Luke Kunin  I.L.Luke Kunin's knee surgery was a success. Kunin suffered an ACL tear in his left knee on Sunday. He's projected to miss the next six-to-seven months. In other words, he won't be available for the playoffs and he might miss the start of the 2018-19 campaign. Apr 4 |
| 7 | Kurtis Gabriel ActiveKurtis Gabriel has been recalled by Minnesota. Gabriel recorded three goals, five assists and 43 penalty minutes with Iowa of the AHL this year. He had one assist and 29 PIMs in 13 appearances with Minnesota during the 2016-17 campaign. Apr 15 |
| 8 | Justin Kloos ActiveJustin Kloos has been called up by Minnesota. Kloos registered 19 goals and 50 points in 76 games during his rookie season with Iowa of the AHL. He also appeared in one game with Minnesota during the regular season. Apr 15 |
| D | 1 | Ryan Suter SidelinedRyan Suter will have season-ending surgery to repair a fracture in his right ankle. Suter suffered the injury during Saturday's game against the Dallas Stars. Losing him for the remainder of the regular season and the playoffs is a huge blow for a Wild team that will likely open the postseason in Winnipeg. Not only did Suter put up six goals and 51 points in 78 games this season, he also averaged 26:47 of ice time in 2017-18. The Wild have a deep blue line, but they don't have anyone who can eat up those kinds of minutes on a nightly basis. Apr 2 |
| 2 | Jared Spurgeon ActiveJared Spurgeon (hamstring) will suit up in Game 1 against the Winnipeg Jets. That's huge for the Wild considering they'll be without Ryan Suter. Spurgeon missed the final 12 games of the regular season, so it'll be interesting to see how much rust he has to shake off on Wednesday. The 28-year-old had nine goals and 37 points in 61 games this season. Apr 11 |
| 3 | Matt Dumba ActiveMatt Dumba generated one goal and one assist on Sunday night in a 6-2 win against Winnipeg. Dumba may be dealing with an injury issue, but he looked good to go in Game 3 and helped Minnesota get back into the series. He didn't have a point in the first two games at Winnipeg. Apr 16 |
| 4 | Jonas Brodin ActiveJonas Brodin recorded his 100th career point on Saturday. Brodin got there when he scored a goal at 10:53 of the first period in what became a 6-3 win over San Jose. Brodin's never been much of an offensive contributor and it's taken him 404 games to reach the 100-point mark. He finished the 2017-18 campaign with six goals and 21 points in 73 contests. Apr 8 |
| 5 | Nick Seeler ActiveNick Seeler had a great night Sunday in Game 3 against Winnipeg. Seeler was credited with four blocks, including some big ones on the penalty kill, and he chipped in two assists in a 6-2 victory for the Wild. He only had four helpers in 22 appearances during the regular season. Apr 16 |
| 6 | Nate Prosser ActiveNate Prosser was good to go on Thursday night after he suffered a lower-body injury Tuesday. Prosser recorded one hit and a plus-1 rating in a team-low 12:08 of ice time in a 4-3 overtime loss to Arizona. Feb 9 |
| 7 | Ryan Murphy ActiveRyan Murphy will make his NHL playoff debut in Game 5 on Friday night versus Winnipeg. Murphy will take Carson Soucy's spot alongside Nate Prosser on Minnesota's third defense pairing. "There's just more experience in (Murphy)," coach Bruce Boudreau said. "He's an offensive player, and we can use him on the power play." Apr 20 |
| 8 | Louis Belpedio ActiveLouis Belpedio will make his NHL debut tonight against the San Jose Sharks. Belpedio was a third round pick of the Wild back in 2014 who recently completed his fourth season with Miami University (Ohio). He played 10 games in the AHL so far, picking up just two points. Apr 7 |
| 9 | Gustav Olofsson SidelinedGustav Olofsson has been ruled out of tonight's game against the San Jose Sharks. It will mark the fifth straight game Olofsson misses due to a concussion. Apr 7 |
| 10 | Carson Soucy ActiveCarson Soucy went through some struggles in his first NHL playoff game on Wednesday night. "I was trying to do too much almost," Soucy said. "I was just out of position on some plays that I made the wrong read, kind of, and that could be due to nerves or, I don't know, not thinking fast enough. I still think I can come away and have a better game." Soucy may drop to a combination with Nate Prosser in Game 2 on Friday night after he was paired with Jared Spurgeon. He is playing because of Ryan Suter's injury. Apr 13 |
| G | 1 | Devan Dubnyk ActiveDevan Dubnyk was pulled in Game 5 against Winnipeg after he surrendered four goals on just 10 shots in the first period. Dubnyk certainly didn't have the performance he was looking for and now Minnesota's season is over. Still, he was great for parts of the series and had a solid regular season with a 35-16-7 record, 2.52 goals-against average and .918 save percentage. Alex Stalock stopped 15 of 16 shots in relief. Apr 20 |
| 2 | Alex Stalock ActiveAlex Stalock allowed five goals on 28 shots in a 5-4 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night. Stalock had problems containing Dustin Brown on Thursday night as four of the five goals he allowed on Thursday came from Brown. The goaltender's record falls to 10-10-4 with a 2.85 GAA and a .910 save percentage. Apr 6 |
| 3 | Niklas Svedberg ActiveMinnesota has called up Niklas Svedberg. Svedberg will serve as the third goaltender after finishing his AHL season with a mark of 18-18-7 along with a 2.87 goals-against average and .905 save percentage. Apr 15 |
