Jesper Wallstedt became the face of a mistake that was not really his

RDS caught the gaffe during Minnesota's home game against Anaheim. A small detail, sure, but the kind of thing an NHL equipment staff should never miss.

Wallstedt, for what it's worth, has been one of the better stories in the Wild crease this season. The 23-year-old Swede posted a .913 save percentage and 4 shutouts in 34 games.

That save percentage actually tops Filip Gustavsson's .903 mark in 50 starts. The kid has outperformed the incumbent, and they can't even spell his name.

It's the hockey equivalent of getting a promotion and having your new business cards printed wrong. You're doing the work, but somebody isn't paying attention to the details.

Minnesota carries a 45-24-12 record and 102 points, good for seventh overall and third in the Central Division. This isn't some basement team cutting corners.

John Hynes' club lost three straight heading into Tuesday, falling 4-5 at Dallas, 1-2 at Nashville, and 3-6 at St. Louis before hosting the Ducks.

Wallstedt earned his $2.2 million cap hit this season. Four shutouts in 34 appearances is elite-level efficiency for a goaltender still establishing himself as a regular starter.

Gustavsson remains the workhorse with 50 games played, but his numbers have dipped.

Nineteen wins in 50 starts tells you the Wild weren't always giving him run support, but a .903 save percentage puts more pressure on the skaters in front of him.

Kirill Kaprizov led all Wild skaters with 45 goals and 89 points in 78 games. Matthew Boldy followed with 42 goals and 85 points. Those two carried the offensive load in a way that made the goaltending split almost secondary.

Brock Faber, just 23, played 80 games on the blue line and put up 15 goals and 51 points while carrying a plus-18 rating. Quinn Hughes added 76 points in 74 games. The defense produced.

But Tuesday night, the conversation wasn't about any of that. It was about a nameplate. One letter out of place, and social media did the rest.

Bill Guerin's front office will have bigger concerns this offseason, including Wallstedt's role going forward and how the crease split shakes out.

The goaltender earned a longer look. He just needs the right name on his back when he gets it.
