Minnesota's Top Goalie Prospect Scores a Goal in First Career AHL Win

Jesper Wallstedt - Minnesota's 20th overall pick in 2021 - won his first career AHL game in his fourth start with a phenomenal ending. He got the chance, and buried the empty-netter goalie-goal to top things off.

A memory that ought to last the Swede a lifetime:

Wallstedt's AHL career has not gotten off to an ideal start; after Saturday's win, the Swedish phenom sports a 1-3 record, with a 3.12 GAA and a .899 SV%. After posting dominant numbers for Lulea of the Swedish Hockey League, Wallstedt's starting to settle into North America.

With Marc-Andre Fleury getting up there in age, how long until the crease is passed to the 19-year old?
