The goaltender controversy between Manny Fernandez and Dwayne Roloson ended when Roloson was traded to Edmonton for a first round pick in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.

Fernandez played for the first time since the sprain on Tuesday, March 6 and was removed after allowing three goals in two periods in the Wild’s 3-0 loss to San Jose.
