Jesper Wallstedt was born in Västerås, Sweden, on November 14, 2002, and the Minnesota Wild made him a first-round pick — 20th overall — in the 2021 NHL Draft. The left-catching, 6'3", 214-pound goaltender has spent his entire NHL career with the organization that selected him.
His path to full-time NHL duty was gradual. Wallstedt made three appearances for the Wild during the 2023-24 season, going 2-1 with a 3.01 GAA, a .897 save percentage, and one shutout. The following season he appeared in just two games, posting an 0-2 record with a 4.09 GAA and a .843 save percentage.
The 2025-26 season marked Wallstedt's arrival as Minnesota's primary netminder. Through 35 games, he carries an 18-9-6 record with a 2.61 GAA, a .916 save percentage, and four shutouts. Those figures also represent the bulk of his NHL career totals: 40 games played, 20 wins, 12 losses, 6 overtime losses, a 2.72 GAA, a .911 save percentage, and 5 shutouts across 2,293:22 of total ice time.
