Playoffs
Wild Benches Wallstedt, Turns to Gus for Game 2
Minnesota coach Dean Evason pulls the plug on young Jesper Wallstedt after a rough Game 1 outing, handing the reins back to veteran Filip Gustavsson for Game 2. Wallstedt's inexperience showed through in the playoffs' brightest lights, a classic reminder that not every hot SHL prospect translates overnight to NHL pressure cookers. Gustavsson, who's logged more Minnesota minutes than most backups dream of, steps in with his crease command and that unflappable Swede cool.
