Foligno has four goals, 11 assists, 57 SOG and 53 PIMs across 44 games but will not play Wednesday as the Wild take on the Avalanche. The injury comes at a rough time for Foligno, as he only has one point in his previous 13 games played.
Foligno left Monday's game with a lower-body injury after blocking a shot on the inside of his knee in the second period. Expect an update on Foligno's status prior to Wednesday's game vs. the Avalanche. Sam Steel would draw into the lineup to replace Foligno.
Gustavsson stopped 27 of 29 shots (.931 SV%) to snap a two-game losing streak as he beat New Jersey in his previous start. The Wilds' backup netminder has been their better of the two goalies by a longshot, with his 12-8-1 record, 2.25 GAA and .923 SV%. He takes on the Florida Panthers, who snapped a three-game winning streak with a 5-3 loss to Colorado in their last game.
Tarasenko had 10 goals, 19 assists, 103 SOG, and a -18 plus/minus through 38 games with St. Louis but has been traded along with Niko Mikkola from the Blues to the New York Rangers for Sammy Blais, Hunter Skinner, a conditional 2023 first-round pick and a conditional 2024 fourth-round pick. He will make his Rangers debut Thursday vs. Seattle.

Brodin was listed as doubtful on Tuesday but has officially been ruled out for Wednesday's game in Dallas. With Brodin out, Alex Goligoski will draw back into the lineup beside Matt Dumba. Brodin should be considered day-to-day.
Brodin last played on February 6th due to a lower-body injury and is doubtful to return to the Wilds' lineup Wednesday vs. Dallas. The 29-year-old had two goals, six assists, 63 SOG, 20 PIMs, and a +7 plus/minus through 43 games prior to his injury.
Gustavsson allowed four goals on 26 shots (.846 SV%) for his first loss in three games as he was downed by Florida in his previous start. The 24-year-old has broken out in a big way this season, with an impressive 11-7-1 record, .922 SV% and 2.26 GAA. He will take on the Dallas Stars, who just snapped a three-game overtime losing streak with a 3-2 shootout win over Anaheim last game.
Hartman was a healthy scratch in the Wild's previous game but, as expected, will draw back into the Wilds' lineup Saturday as they take on Buffalo. The 28-year-old has five goals, nine assists, 64 SOG, 47 PIMs and a -2 plus/minus through 25 games played.
Hartman has five goals, nine assists, 64 SOG, 47 PIMs and a -2 plus/minus but will be a surprisingly healthy scratch Thursday vs. the Penguins after a few costly turnovers in the Wilds' previous game. The 28-year-old is just a year removed from a 34 goals, 31-assist season in 2021-22.
Tarasenko hasn't played since Dec. 31st due to a hand injury but was activated off the injured reserve Tuesday and is expected to return to the Blues lineup. The 31-year-old had 10 goals, 19 assists, 90 SOG, and a -13 plus/minus through 34 games prior to the injury.
Petry appears set to return to the Penguins lineup on Friday, most likely replacing Mark Friedman in the lineup and quarterbacking the Penguins' top power-play unit. Petry has picked up 12 points (3G / 9A) in 28 games this season.
Gustavsson stopped 34 of 36 shots (.944 SV%) for his fourth win in five starts as he beat Washington in his previous time out. The 24-year-old Wild backup has made Minnesota's crease a 50/50 split due to his incredible play, with his 11-6-1 record, 2.16 GAA and .926 SV%. He will hope to continue his hot run of late as he takes on the Florida Panthers, who have won three of their last four games after a 6-2 win over Montreal last game.
Petry took part in the morning skate and quarterbacked the top power-play unit but said he'll have to see how he responds after the skate. Petry, who has 12 points (3G / 9A) in 28 games this season, would be a really nice fantasy asset in the short-term with Kris Letang still sidelined.
Michael McCarron was just reinstated from the NHLPA Player Assistance Program and has been reassigned to Milwaukee (AHL). The 27-year-old had one goal, one assist, 21 SOG and 17 PIMs through 17 games with Nashville prior to his demotion.
Gustavsson stopped 19 of 20 shots (.950 SV%) for his third win in four games as he beat the New York Islanders in his previous start. The Wild's backup netminder has been incredible this season, with his 10-6-1 record, 2.17 GAA and .925 SV%. He takes on the Washington Capitals, who snapped a two-game losing streak with a 4-3 victory over the New York Islanders last game and are 13th in the NHL in goals per game (3.22).
