Bryzgalov is expected to make his Wild debut on Sunday when Minnesota faces the Blues. He was 5-8-5 with a 3.01 GAA and .908 SV% with Edmonton before being traded. While those numbers are far from pretty, he goes from a team who gave up the sixth most shots in the NHL (32.3) to the team who allows the sixth least shots (28.0). However, the matchup vs. St. Louis forces you to look at your other options.

Bryzgalov has gone 5-8-5 with a 3.01 GAA and .908 SV% with the Oilers this season. The Wild looked golden in net earlier in the season, until Josh Harding started having multiple sclerosis and Niklas Backstrom having abdominal issues. Bryzgalov will likely become one of three goalies that the Wild will carry and finds himself behind the red-hot Darcy Kuemper.
Bryzgalov allowed two goals on 24 shots in a loss to the Devils before the break. Since signing with the Oilers, Bryz has gone 5-8-4 with a 3.07 GAA and .907 SV%. His name has surfaced in trade rumours with the trade deadline inching closer, so Saturday could potentially be his last start as an Oiler. He is 2-3-1 at Rexall Place this season.
Bryzgalov allowed two goals on 44 shots in a win over the Sabres on Monday. It was his second straight win as he has stopped 67 of the last 71 shots (.944 SV%) that he has faced. With Ben Scrivens getting the W last night, Bryz will look to chalk up the Oilers sixth win in their last seven games.
Bryzgalov gave up two goals on 27 shots in a win over the Canucks last Monday. Ben Scrivens has played very well in his last three starts, so Bryz will need a good outing tonight in Buffalo to say in conversation as the Oilers number-1. The Sabres have lost eight of their last 10, so Bryzgalov should make for a great start.
Bryzgalov allowed four goals on 29 shots in a 4-3 loss to the Coyotes on Friday. Bryz has lost four consecutive games and sits at 1-4-1 with a 3.90 GAA and .879 SV% in six January starts. He will face a Canucks squad who have won three of their last four.
Bryzgalov allowed three goals on 39 shots in a 3-2 OT loss to the Jets on Saturday. He kept the Oilers in the game, but was hung-out to dry on the OT winner.

Bryzgalov allowed four goals on 29 shots in a loss to the Stars on Tuesday. The Oilers acquired Ben Scrivens on Wednesday so Bryzalov will need to start playing better if he doesn't want to become a back-up.

Bryzgalov gave up four goals on 29 shots in a loss to the Blues last Tuesday. Bryz has only one win in his last five starts while he has given up 19 goals and posted a .892 SV%.

Bryzgalov gave up three goals on 27 shots in a win over the Lightning on Sunday. The win snapped a three game losing streak, but it was the sixth time in his last eight starts he has allowed three-plus goals. He is now cemented as the Oilers starter despite his not-so-pretty 3-5-2 record, 3.11 GAA and .908 SV%. He is a scary start tonight vs. a very good Blues team.
Bryzgalov allowed five goals on 37 shots in Friday's loss to the Ducks. Bryz has allowed 12 goals in three consecutive losses and has not won since December 23. Tonight he will get the call against the Lightning at home, he is 1-1-1 with a 3.29 GAA and .885 SV% in Edmonton.

Bryzgalov surrendered six goals on 33 shots in a 6-0 loss to the Blues on Saturday. It was Bryzgalov's worst outing as an Oiler, but he will be given an opportunity to bounce back tonight vs. Winnipeg. The Jets have lost five of their last seven, so there are worse options than Bryz tonight.
Bryzgalov stopped 37 of 39 shots, but it was not enough to beat the Kings on Tuesday. Since coming to the Oilers, Bryzgalov has posted a 2.30 GAA and ,936 SV% but hasn't had the results going 1-3-0. He draws a tough test in his first home start.
Bryzgalov turned aside 31 of 34 shots he faced in a loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday. It was a nice outing in his first start after missing six games because of a concussion. He gets the call once against with the Oilers in Los Angeles. The Kings are 6-1-0 in their last seven, with their only loss coming against the reigning Stanley Cup Champions.
