| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Mikko Koivu  ActiveMikko Koivu is projected to play between Dany Heatley and Charlie Coyle in his return to action on Monday. That means that Mikael Granlund will retain his spot alongside Zach Parise for now. However, Koivu could still end up seeing time with Parise at some point down the line. "Very excited," said Koivu regarding his return. "It's been a long wait. Kinda frustrating all the time after the [Jan. 6] surgery. Very excited. Little bit nervous, but that's part of the step to take to the game. It'll be fun." Mar 3 |
| 2 | Mikael Granlund ActiveMikael Granlund registered two assists in Minnesota's 3-2 win against Calgary on Monday night. He helped set up third-period goals by Jared Spurgeon (power play) and Zach Parise. Granlund kept his spot alongside Parise even though Mikko Koivu returned from injury against the Flames, but that doesn't guarantee that he'll be there for the rest of the year. He has 32 points in 49 games. Mar 4 |
| 3 | Kyle Brodziak ActiveKyle Brodziak scored a goal in a 4-3 loss to Dallas on Saturday. Brodziak has now found the back of the net in two straight games. He has six goals and 20 points in 63 games this season. Mar 9 |
| 4 | Erik Haula ActiveErik Haula's goal was overshadowed by the penalty he took in the Wild's 4-3 loss to the Stars on Saturday night. Haula scored and received 15 penalty minutes (a five-minute major and 10-minute misconduct) after running over Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen in the third, a play that ended up being a decisive point in the game. The Stars scored on the power play to tie the game then got the winner four minutes later. He played only 6:54. Kyle Brodziak and Charlie Coyle scored the other goals in the loss. Mar 8 |
| 5 | Jacob Dowell ActiveMinnesota has summoned Jacob Dowell from AHL Iowa. He has produced 14 points and 32 penalty minutes in 40 minor-league games this year. Feb 19 |
| LW | 1 | Zach Parise ActiveZach Parise scored the eventual game-winning goal in Monday's 3-2 win over Calgary. The goal was the 21st on the campaign for Parise, who has now recorded 11 points in his last seven games. Kyle Brodziak and Jared Spurgeon also found the back of the net for Minnesota in the win. Mar 3 |
| 2 | Matt Moulson ActiveMatt Moulson had an assist in his debut with the Wild on Saturday. Moulson had just 11 goals and 29 points in 44 games with Buffalo, but his production should go up significantly now that he's with Minnesota. It wouldn't be surprising to see him average close to a point-per-game for the remainder of the 2013-14 campaign. Mar 9 |
| 3 | Dany Heatley ActiveDany Heatley has been dropped to Minnesota's fourth line again. He has bounced up and down the lineup all season. Heatley lost his spot on the second line because of Minnesota's acquisition of Matt Moulson from Buffalo on trade deadline day. The Wild wanted to keep their third line, consisting of Kyle Brodziak, Matt Cooke and Nino Niederreiter, intact. Heatley has generated 12 goals and 25 points in 62 games this season. Mar 7 |
| 4 | Matt Cooke ActiveMatt Cooke scored a shorthanded goal in a 4-3 overtime defeat on Saturday. Cooke has found the back of the net in three of his last five contests. He has nine goals and 23 points in 57 games this season. Feb 2 |
| 5 | Cody McCormick ActiveThe Buffalo Sabres have shipped Cody McCormick to the Minnesota Wild as part of the Matt Moulson deal. McCormick has five points and 45 penalty minutes in 29 games this season. He'll serve as a depth forward with the Wild. Mar 5 |
| 6 | Michael Rupp ActiveWith Zenon Konopka a healthy scratch, the Minnesota Wild will replace some of that grit with Mihcael Rupp against the New York Islanders on Sunday. Rupp isn't very fantasy relevant, but Konopka has been a PIM machine in the past. That hasn't been the case as much this season, though; Konopka only has 55 PIM in 36 games after racking up 117 in 37 last season. Dec 29 |
| 7 | Jason Zucker  I.L.Jason Zucker (leg) has been placed on the injured reserve list. Zucker underwent a "minor" procedure over the Olympic break. He has four goals and five points in 21 games in 2013-14. Feb 26 |
| RW | 1 | Jason Pominville ActiveJason Pominville scored his 23rd goal of the season in the Minnesota Wild's 3-2 shootout loss to the visiting St. Louis Blues on Sunday night. The Blues' other scorer was Matt Moulson, who was acquired by Minnesota from Buffalo on trade-deadline day last Wednesday. Moulson's goal was his 18th of the season. Mar 9 |
| 2 | Charlie Coyle ActiveCharlie Coyle scored a goal in Minnesota's 4-3 loss on Saturday. Coyle found the back of the net for the first time since Jan. 11. He has just 20 points in 51 games this season, but he's worth keeping an eye on after he played alongside Mikko Koivu and Matt Moulson during Saturday's game. Mar 9 |
| 3 | Nino Niederreiter ActiveWith the addition of Matt Moulson and the return to health of Zach Parise and Miko Koivu, Nino Niederreiter is not likely to get much, if any, power-play ice time. The Wild will use some combination of Parise, Koivu, Moulson, Dany Heatley, Charlie Coyle and Mikael Granlund on the first two units with Ryan Suter and Jason Pominville on the points of the first team and Jared Spurgeon and Jonas Brodin on the points of the second unit. That leaves Niederreiter on the bench. Keep that in mind when assessing this fantasy value. Mar 8 |
| 4 | Justin Fontaine ActiveJustin Fontaine (illness) returned to action on Thursday February 6. He didn't play Tuesday because he was feeling the under the weather. Fontaine has 12 goals and 18 points in 51 games this season. Feb 7 |
| D | 1 | Ryan Suter ActiveRyan Suter wasn't happy with Team USA after their 1-0 loss to Canada. Suter described the American's play as "terrible," adding, "it's tough to win when you don't play in the offensive zone." Canada did manage to neutralize the United States' offense for a large portion of their semifinals match by keeping the game in the American zone, but Canada also deserves a lot of credit for its defensive play. The story of this game wasn't that the Americans choked, it was that the Canadians did a better job of executing their game plan of controlling the play and winning the middle of the ice. Feb 21 |
| 2 | Jonas Brodin ActiveJonas Brodin escaped injury when he was slashed in hte face with the shaft of Antoine Roussel's stick in Saturday night's 3-2 win over Dallas. He did leave the ice to receive medical attention but returned to the bench and finished the game. Brodin should be OK for Tuesday's return game against the Stars. Might he be seeking retribtion? We shall see. Jan 19 |
| 3 | Jared Spurgeon ActiveJared Spurgeon's two assists helped the Wild squeak past Tampa Bay 2-1 on Tuesday night. Spurgeon improves to 14 points in 44 games this year in his second multi-point effort this season. Feb 4 |
| 4 | Marco Scandella ActiveMarco Scandella (knee) will return Monday night. He has missed three games with a sprained MCL. Scandella has 16 points, 76 blocks and a plus-10 rating in 55 games this season. Mar 3 |
| 5 | Keith Ballard ActiveKeith Ballard scored a goal on Saturday. Ballard has only been held off the scoresheet in one of his last four contests. He has two goals and nine points in 36 games this season. Feb 2 |
| 6 | Nate Prosser ActiveNate Prosser is the first defenseman in Wild history to score back-to-back game winners. He's been a healthy scratch 26 times this season, but now he's playing regularly and he's playing well. Prosser has five points, 43 blocks and a plus-3 rating in 25 appearances. Jan 21 |
| 7 | Clayton Stoner ActiveClayton Stoner dropped the gloves with Vernon Fiddler in the Wild’s 4-0 loss to Dallas Tuesday night. Stoner also picked up a roughing penalty to total seven penalty minutes on a night the Minnesota offense laid a goose egg. Jan 21 |
| 8 | Jonathon Blum ActiveJonathon Blum has been recalled by Minnesota. He's expected to practice with the Wild on Wednesday. Blum has appeared in four games with Minnesota this season. Feb 19 |
| G | 1 | Darcy Kuemper ActiveDarcy Kuemper set aside 34 shots in the Wild's 4-3 loss to the Stars on Saturday night. The loss snaps a five-game winning streak for Kuemper. Minnesota had a 3-2 lead early into the third period, but the five-minute major to Erik Haula turned the momentum in the Stars' favor. Kuemper gave up two goals on 18 shots in the third period. He has a 2.29 goals-against average and .922 save percentage this season. Mar 8 |
| 2 | Ilya Bryzgalov ActiveIlya Bryzgalov, making his first start of the season for his new team, the Minnesota Wild, turned aside 20 of the 22 shots he faced in regulation and overtime before the St. Louis Blues beat him twice in the shootout period for a 3-2 victory. The Wild did not score in the shootout. Bryzgalov's GAA is now 3.01. His save percentage is .908. Mar 9 |
| 3 | Josh Harding I.L.Josh Harding is still out indefinitely. Harding is out indefinitely after getting adjustments to his medication for multiple sclerosis. He hasn't played since Dec. 31 and there's no guarantee that he'll return this season. This is a tragic setback after he posted a 1.66 GAA and .933 save percentage in 29 games. Feb 25 |
| 4 | Niklas Backstrom  SidelinedNiklas Backstrom has been shut down for the rest of the season because of an abdominal injury. He has been dealing with the issue all year after he had off-season sports hernia surgery and he probably needs another procedure. "Our goal for Nik is to get him healthy for next year," said GM Chuck Fletcher. "Needless to say, he's disappointed." The Wild acquired Ilya Brygalov from Edmonton on Tuesday to serve as their backup in Backstrom's place. Mar 5 |
