| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Mikko Koivu  ActiveMikko Koivu didn't win a medal in the 2012 IIHF World Championship. Koivu has participated in 12 international tournaments and this is the first time he's going home empty handed. He gave it his all, scoring three goals and 11 points in 10 contests with Team Finland. May 21 |
| 2 | Matt Cullen  SidelinedFinger surgery will keep Matt Cullen from playing in Minnesota’s final seven games. Cullen hurt his index finger Saturday when he blocked a shot by Buffalo’s Christian Ehrhoff. The center is the team’s fourth–leading scorer with 35 points, including 14 goals. Mar 27 |
| 3 | Kyle Brodziak ActiveKyle Brodziak was clipped in the face by skate in Nashville on Tuesday, but he participated in Wednesday's practice and is expected to wear protection for the final two games of the regular season. "He's a little bruised," coach Mike Yeo said. "There's a nasty cut there. One thing about Brodzie is he's tough. Not tough as in he's going to get in 15 fights a year. Tough as in you see him block shots. You see times when he comes off the ice and he's hurt. Then, 30 seconds later, he's back and hasn't missed a shift. He's a real tough hockey player." Brodziak has had a career-year offensively in 2011-12 with 22 goals and 44 points in 80 matches. Apr 4 |
| 4 | Warren Peters ActiveWarren Peters returned to action on Tuesday April 3. Apr 4 |
| 5 | Chad Rau ActiveChad Rau was called up from the minors on Sunday. Rau was held off the scoresheet on Sunday. He now has two goals in seven NHL games this season in a few stints as he made his NHL debut on January 21. He had 11 goals and 31 points with Houston before his current callup. Mar 26 |
| 6 | Jason Zucker ActiveJason Zucker had his NHL debut on Thursday. The second round pick, 59th overall, in the 2010 Draft signed a three-year entry level deal earlier in the week. He had 22 goals and 46 points in 38 games with the University of Denver and the Wild are really high on the center. He played 10:55 minutes and had three shots on goal. The Wild pulled a stunt on Zucker before the game as he led the team on the ice and they let him skate a lap by himself. "I knew right away," a laughing Zucker said. "When they said you're leading us on the ice, I knew that wasn't right. I had to go with it. I wasn't going to tell [Dany] Heatley, 'No.'" He has a lot of offensive upside and could be a fantasy option in a couple of years. Mar 30 |
| LW | 1 | Devin Setoguchi ActiveDevin Setoguchi has recovered from his off-season knee surgery. The procedure was described as minor. Setoguchi had 19 goals and 36 points in 69 games in his first season with Minnesota. May 21 |
| 2 | Guillaume Latendresse  I.L.Guillaume Latendresse (concussion) might have been able to return before the end of the Wild's season if they were competitive. The Wild didn't end up coming even close to making the playoffs, so there was no real point in trying to push Latendresse to return. He is reportedly feeling much better at this point. Latendresse is scheduled to become a restricted free agent this summer, but the Wild would need to give him a qualifying offer of $2.5 million to retain his rights. They will probably bulk at that because Latendresse has played just 27 games over the last two seasons. However, Latendresse and the Wild might agree to a new contract even if he doesn't get a qualifying offer. May 21 |
| 3 | Erik Christensen ActiveErik Christensen isn't likely to be back in Minnesota next season. Christensen was dealt from the New York Rangers to the Wild in early February. But just like every team he's been with, he's been extremely inconsistent. He started off his time with the Wild with no points and a minus-13 rating in his first 15 games, then had six goals in 10 games with the Wild out of the playoffs. "When we're looking at guys that we want wearing a Minnesota Wild jersey, there's certain elements and there's certain characteristics," Yeo said. "I think one of them has to be a gamer -- a big-game player. You want guys that want to be on the ice when the game's on the line, you want guys that perform at the best when games are most meaningful." Apr 10 |
| 4 | Cal Clutterbuck ActiveCal Clutterbuck (illness) will rejoin the Wild on Tuesday. Clutterbuck missed three games due to the disease. He has 22 points and 95 penalty minutes in 61 games this season. Mar 13 |
| 5 | Darroll Powe ActiveDarroll Powe scored the only Minnesota goal in the team's 5-1 loss to the Flyers Tuesday night. The goal was Powe's fourth of the season and it was fitting that it came against his former team. Nevertheless, he has no fantasy value. Jan 17 |
| RW | 1 | Dany Heatley ActiveDany Heatley has recovered from his off-season knee surgery. That's not a surprise given that Heatley's procedure was considered minor. He had 24 goals and 53 points in 82 games in 2011-12. May 21 |
| 2 | Pierre-Marc Bouchard I.L.Pierre-Marc Bouchard (concussion) is reportedly improving. Bouchard's season ended on Jan. 4. He had nine goals and 22 points in 37 games with the Wild. GM Chuck Fletcher has decided against asking for weekly updates, but he does plan to touch base with Bouchard in a week or so. May 21 |
| 3 | Nick Johnson ActiveNick Johnson registered three assists in the Wild's 5-4 shootout loss to the Montreal Canadiens Thursday night. With Mikko Koivu's injury, Johnson has been steadily moving up the Wild depth chart and now has 22 points in 60 games on the season. However, tt's unlikely that Johnson's big night will have much of a direct impact on fantasy owners because he's only a marginal forward. Mar 1 |
| 4 | Jed Ortmeyer ActiveJed Ortmeyer netted his first NHL goal since Mar. 28, 2010 on Sunday. Ortmeyer has spent the better part of the last two seasons in the AHL. He's a depth forward at this stage of his career and usually only plays in the NHL as an injury replacement. Feb 27 |
| 5 | Jarod Palmer I.L.Jarod Palmer (upper body) has been placed on the injured reserve list. Palmer was already expected to miss Saturday's game due to the ailment. He has a goal in six games with the Wild. Dec 31 |
| 6 | Stephane Veilleux ActiveStephane Veilleux was called up from the minors on Sunday February 26. Veilleux logged 9:30 minutes on Sunday. He finished the game with a plus-one rating. Feb 27 |
| 7 | Carson McMillan I.L.The Minnesota Wild have placed Carson McMillan on the injured reserve list with a lower body injury. McMillan was likely injured during Tuesday's game against Anaheim. He has a goal and three points in 11 games with 11 penalty minutes. He will miss at least a week with the injury but has no real fantasy value. Feb 16 |
| D | 1 | Tom Gilbert ActiveTom Gilbert has played 30-plus minutes for four straight games. The defenseman has played well since the trade deadline deal with the Oilers for Nick Schultz although he has only five assists in 19 games. He played a whopping 34:17 minutes Thursday. Apr 7 |
| 2 | Jared Spurgeon SidelinedJared Spurgeon (concussion) received medical clearance a week after the regular season ended. Spurgeon's last game was on March 22. He's apparently feeling good. It sounds like he's a good bet to be ready for the start of training camp. May 21 |
| 3 | Kurtis Foster ActiveKurtis Foster should get some playing time over Minnesota's final eight games of the season. With the concussion to Jared Spurgeon, Foster, who has been a healthy scratch for many of the Wild's recent games, should get a generous amount of playing time. Foster does have a heavy slapshot, and if he is given power-play ice time, he could chalk up a few points. Mar 25 |
| 4 | Marco Scandella ActiveMarco Scandella underwent hand and hernia surgeries in the off-season. Scandella was playing through both injuries for a while. He's expected to be fine by the end of June. May 21 |
| 5 | Clayton Stoner ActiveThe Minnesota Wild have signed defenseman Clayton Stoner to a two-year deal worth $2.1 million. He was slated for unrestricted free agency on July 1 if a new contract had not been reached. Stoner suffered through another injury-plagued season in 2011-12 that witnessed him dress in 51 contests after he played in 57 the year before. He picked up five points, 72 hits, 80 blocks, 62 penalty minutes and a plus-3 rating last campaign and his physical style is well-liked by coach Mike Yeo. He could have some fantasy value if he can stay healthier in 2012-13. May 10 |
| 6 | Justin Falk ActiveJustin Falk will return to active duty on Thursday from his knee injury. The Minnesota defenseman has missed the team's past 10 games due to the ailment. Falk will replace Kurtis Foster, who will be a healthy scratch, in the lineup. Mar 29 |
| 7 | Chay Genoway ActiveChay Genoway has been called up by the Minnesota Wild. Genoway has seven goals and 32 points in 68 games with the Houston Aeros this season. He is expected to make his NHL debut on Saturday. Apr 7 |
| 8 | Steven Kampfer SidelinedSteven Kampfer's previously undisclosed injury is related to his knee. Kampfer is week-to-week, according to Wild coach Mike Yeo. He'll probably miss the remainder of the regular season and might even be sidelined for AHL Houston's playoff run. Apr 2 |
| 9 | Nate Prosser  SuspendedNate Prosser has been given a one-game suspended for headbutting. Prosser will miss Minnesota's final game of the season and given that they won't make the playoffs, he will not return until 2012-13. He had 12 points and 57 penalty minutes in 51 games this season. Apr 6 |
| 10 | Kris Fredheim ActiveKris Fredheim has been summoned by the Minnesota Wild. Fredheim has three goals and 12 points in 69 games with the Houston Aeros this season. He also has two penalty minutes in two contests with the Wild. Apr 7 |
| 11 | Mike Lundin SidelinedMike Lundin will miss the rest of the 2011-12 season after he underwent successful surgery for a sports hernia last week. He's expected to be fully recovered in two-to-three months. In 17 games with the Wild this year, Lundin registered two assists, a minus-1 rating and 35 blocked shots, while averaging 20:12 of ice time per contest. Mar 21 |
| G | 1 | Josh Harding ActiveJosh Harding will be in goal for Minnesota Thursday against the Chicago Blackhawks. Niklas Backstrom has played three of the team's past four games and Harding's last start came in a 5-4 shootout win over the Hawks on Apr. 1. The 27-year-old netminder is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, so it might be his final game with the Wild. Apr 5 |
| 2 | Niklas Backstrom ActiveNiklas Backstrom's ankle is better. Backstrom underwent ankle surgery in the off-season. He had been battling through the injury since mid-December. He had a 2.43 and .919 save percentage in 46 games in 2011-12. May 21 |
