Images of Jesper Wallstedt's jersey with 'Wallstead' on the back instead of 'Wallstedt' spread rapidly online, sparking widespread attention. Marc-André Fleury was initially accused of the prank, but he was shown to be playing golf in Las Vegas and is innocent, leaving the exact perpetrator unknown. Filip Gustavsson is the most likely suspect for the prank, though specific evidence pointing to him has not been disclosed.
In the match, Jesper Wallstedt played and performed excellently, making 35 saves out of 37 shots to help secure the win. The Minnesota Wild won against the Anaheim Ducks 3-2, with the team resting a whole group of players in the game. The Anaheim Ducks is still playing to position itself well for the playoffs, while the Minnesota Wild's victory contributes to their playoff positioning.
I thought something looked strange up on my back.
I saw that the 'T' was missing and that there was an 'A' there instead that probably shouldn't be there. So yes, I think it was a late April Fool's joke. Because I don't think I played that match on April 1.
I don't know exactly who it is, but I have my suspicions. A couple of matches ago I heard something about my name being misspelled. I didn't quite pick up on it then... So yes, it was fun.
