Erik Gustafsson Delivers Three Assists
2 years agoWashington Capitals defenseman Erik Gustafsson picked up three assists in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Panthers. Two of the helpers came with the man advantage. The Swedish rearguard has been quarterbacking the first power-play unit ever since John Carlsson (face) got sidelined, but these are his first power-play points since the last game of 2022. For the season overall, Gustafsson has notched 33 points in 56 games with 106 shots, 49 hits and 51 blocks. There hasn't been any info regarding Carlsson's possible return, so Gustafsson will continue to play a big role on the Washington blue line for the foreseeable future.
