Jost was acquired from the Avalanche on Tuesday and will make his Wild debut vs. the Bruins. Jost will start on the fourth line with Nick Bjugstad and Brandon Duhaime. Jost has just 14 points (6G / 8A) in 59 games this season and 103 points (45G / 58A) in 321 career NHL games.

Jost was selected No.10 overall in 2016 but has struggled to produce offensively, largely due to his role. Jost has played primarily as a bottom-6 forward this season due to the impressive depth in Colorado. Jost could play a more offensive role in Minnesota and heads there with six goals and eight assists (14 points) in 59 games this season.




Mutter is an undrafted free agent out of the OHL, where he has scored nine goals with eight assists (17 points) in 44 games between the Hamilton Bulldogs and Kitchener Rangers.





Marchessault was not on the ice for the morning skate and is not expected to play because of the flu. Evgenii Dadonov will move to the second line with Marchessault out and Michael Amadio will draw into the lineup.




Nick Cousins is week-to-week with a lower-body injury, so Smith comes up from the AHL and should play in the bottom-6 on Tuesday. Smith has spent most of the season in the AHL, posting 10 goals and 12 assists (22 points) in 33 games with Milwaukee.



Haula missed two games while in COVID-19 protocol but was on the ice for Monday's practice and is expected to play Tuesday. Haula, who has 16 points (5G / 11A) in 40 games this season, was back between Taylor Hall and David Pastrnak in Monday's session.
