Wild's Wallstedt Earns 4th Shutout in 1-0 Win Over Oilers

EDMONTON, Alberta — Rookie goaltender Jesper Wallstedt recorded his fourth shutout of the season with 33 saves as the Minnesota Wild defeated the Edmonton Oilers 1-0 on Tuesday night, extending their point streak to 12 games.

Jonas Brodin scored the game's lone goal 7 minutes into the first period, firing a shot from the point off a faceoff that slipped past Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner, who made 23 saves in the loss. The Wild improved to 15-7-5 overall, while Edmonton fell to 11-11-5 and has now lost five of its last seven games.

Wallstedt, a 23-year-old from Sweden, earned the win in his 10th start of the season. Named the NHL's rookie of the month for November earlier in the day, he posted a 6-0-0 record that month with a league-best 1.14 goals-against average, .967 save percentage and three shutouts in six games. For the season, Wallstedt holds the top save percentage at .944 and a 1.74 goals-against average through an 8-0-2 record. His performance marked the first time a goaltender has recorded five career shutouts at the time of his 10th win since 1963, making him the seventh such player since the 1929-30 season.
