Wallstedt Stands Tall Through 43 Saves and Overtime: "We Never Give Up" · Apr. 25, 2026
With the Wild facing elimination pressure and Dallas throwing everything at him, 23-year-old Jesper Wallstedt turned aside 43 of 45 shots — including nine in overtime — to backstop Minnesota's 3-2 Game 4 win and level the series 2-2. It was another statement night in what is quickly becoming a breakout playoff run for the Swedish rookie, who now holds a .929 save percentage across four games. "We just keep fighting, keep getting pucks to the net," Wallstedt said after the final whistle. "We keep playing and we never give up. It felt like we really deserved this one."
