Filip Gustavsson will start Wednesday vs. Tampa Bay.

Gustavsson allowed one goal on 32 shots (.969 SV%) for his seventh win in eight starts as he beat Winnipeg in his last start. The Wilds' backup netminder has been exceptional this season, leading to him stealing starts with his 8-5-1 record, 2.34 GAA and .920 SV%. He will face the Tampa Bay Lightning, who are in the middle of a four-game winning streak with a 4-1 victory over Chicago last game.

Tarasenko will miss at least four weeks with a hand injury.

Tarasenko suffered a hand injury early in Saturday's game vs. the Wild and will be re-evaluated in one month. In addition to Tarasenko's injury, the Blues also lost Ryan O'Reilly for six weeks due to a broken foot. Jake Neighbours was recalled from the AHL to help replace Tarasenko on the wing.

Marcus Foligno has been placed on the injured reserve (lower body).

With Mason Shaw suspended for Tuesday's game and Foligno out with a lower-body injury, the Wild recalled Sammy Walker and Adam Beckman from Iowa (AHL) and both should play against the Jets. Foligno will miss at least the Wild's next few games as he recovers.
