After a wild 9-6 loss to the Colorado Avalanche in game one, the Minnesota Wild will switch goaltenders for game two. Filip Gustavsson is set to start in place of Jesper Wallstedt. The change comes following Wallstedt's tough performance in the opener.
The Colorado Avalanche defeated the Minnesota Wild 9-6 in game one of their second-round Stanley Cup playoff series. Wallstedt faced 42 shots and allowed eight goals in the high-scoring affair, which featured a total of 15 goals between the teams. This marked a stark contrast to Wallstedt's strong showing in the first round, where he helped Minnesota eliminate the Dallas Stars in six games with a 4-2 series victory. Jesper Wallstedt has enjoyed a solid season in the NHL, sharing duties with fellow Swede Filip Gustavsson. Minnesota coach Dean Evason confirmed the switch, with Gustavsson slated to start between the pipes for game two, scheduled for tonight. The decision reflects the team's response to the chaotic opener against Colorado.
