Wilderness Walk: The Universe

Happy Fri-Yay Wilderness!

Friday Fun Fact: Only three former members of the Wild, all goaltenders, have worn the jersey number 30. Derek Gustafson originally repped the number in 2001, during which he only played in one game for Minnesota. Next to wear the number, was fan-favorite Dwayne Roloson from 2002 to 2006. The third and most recent goaltender to have 30 stitched on the backside of his jersey was Ilya Bryzgalov. The Russian netminder, otherwise known as “Mr. Universe,” wore the number in 2014 after being acquired via trade from the Edmonton Oilers for a fourth-round draft pick.
