DENVER (AP) — The Minnesota Wild are making a switch in net for Game 2, going with Filip Gustavsson on Tuesday night after Jesper Wallstedt allowed eight goals in a 9-6 loss to Colorado.

Wild coach John Hynes announced the goaltender swap several hours before puck drop. Gustavsson hasn’t played since allowing five goals at St. Louis on April 13. He went 28-15-6 with a 2.69 goals-against average during the regular season.

Wallstedt surrendered 14 goals in six games during a first-round series win over Dallas.
