Jesper Wallstedt jersey name changed to Wallstead in late April Fool's joke

Minnesota goalie Jesper Wallstedt was the victim of a belated April Fool's joke. The name on his jersey was changed to "Wallstead." "It was definitely a team effort; it was fun," he said after the game.

Wallstedt discovered the name change when he looked up at the jumbotron and saw the replay of a game sequence during the NHL game against Anaheim (3–2).

An April Fool's joke, but a little late, says the Swedish Olympic goalkeeper, who believes that the team's other Swedish Olympic goalkeeper, Filip Gustavsson, is behind the team joke, which may have to do with the fact that he is a rookie.

–But I'd rather take this than have my car placed on cement blocks.

Minnesota is ready for the Stanley Cup playoffs, where they will face Dallas in the round of 16.
