Filip Gustavsson Expected Back On Saturday
1 year agoMinnesota Wild goaltender Filip Gustavsson (lower body) has been activated from Injured Reserve ahead of Saturday's matchup against Arizona. He looks set to make his 23rd start of the season after Marc-Andre Fleury suffered a heartbreaking 4-3 overtime loss against Philadelphia Friday night. Gustavsson has failed to match his numbers from last season, but he gained some momentum before getting injured, going 5-2-0 across seven starts. The Swedish netminder is 10-9-2 for the season while boasting a 2.96 goals-against average with a .903 save percentage and two shutouts. The Coyotes are mediocre offensively, meaning Gustavsson is in a decent spot to make a winning return.

Filip Gustavsson Takes On Kraken Wednesday
2 weeks agoMinnesota Wild goaltender Filip Gustavsson will start on Wednesday against the Seattle Kraken. He will take the crease for the 47th time this season, trying to improve a 26-15-4 record. Gustavsson has posted four shutouts while registering a 2.57 goals-against average with a .915 save percentage. The Wild No. 1 has been one of the strongest fantasy options among goalies, but Gustavsson has been inconsistent since the 4 Nations Face-Off. He has won only four of his past nine appearances, dropping three of the last five. A matchup against a Seattle team that has a 14-19-0 road record gives Gustavsson a good opportunity to regain some momentum.

Filip Gustavsson Stops 28 Shots In Victory
2 weeks agoMinnesota Wild goaltender Filip Gustavsson stopped 28 of the 29 shots he saw during their victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Monday evening. The Kings held the advantage in the shot total, but Gustavsson was able to lead the way. His lone mistake came in the opening frame when Adrian Kempe found the back of the net on the power play. Gustavsson would then shut the door for the remainder of the contest. This was also a nice bounce-back for Gustavsson, as he allowed four goals in his previous start. Over his last seven games, the 26-year-old has posted a 4-2-1 record with a solid .929 save percentage and a 1.98 GAA. Fantasy managers should continue to view Gustavsson as a solid, low-end No. 1 goaltender playing behind one of the best defensive units in the sport. He will look to stay hot against the Seattle Kraken on Wednesday evening.

Gustavsson has heated up lately and will be a good option for fantasy managers against a slumping Rangers squad that has lost four games in a row.
