On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Alex Micheletti joins us to recap a chaotic weekend win for the Wild against Columbus. We discuss Marc-Andre Fleury's performance, including a crazy late Superman slide back to the crease with the Wild trailing late to try to stop an empty net goal. We talk about the reaction to his 551st career win from his teammates, and why we will hopefully appreciate what Fleury has done in Minnesota after he retires. We discuss the call up of Jesper Wallstedt and try to pinpoint when his first career start will be. We also discuss why now is the right time to give him a shot. We talk about the impact of Mats Zuccarello returning to the lineup to take the lead and Matt Boldy, Marcus Johansson and Marco Rossi improving their performance after a dreadful showing against Tampa Bay. We marvel at another elite performance from Brock Faber with Jared Spurgeon and Jonas Brodin out of the lineup. We finish by looking at the week ahead, with two games against Dallas and a back to back against Philadelphia and Arizona.
