Filip Gustavsson Faces Canada Wednesday Night
16 seconds agoMinnesota Wild goaltender Filip Gustavsson will start for Sweden against Canada in Wednesday's 4 Nations Face-Off opener. Ottawa Senators netminder Linus Ullmark will serve as his backup, with Samuel Ersson of the Philadelphia Flyers scratched for the contest. Gustavsson has enjoyed a great campaign with the Wild, and Sweden will lean on him heavily against Canada's star-studded offense. Through 37 starts, Gustavsson has gone 22-11-3 with three shutouts. He is sporting a 2.63 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage. The 26-year-old played well for Sweden at last year's World Championships, helping the team finish third with a 6-1-0 record. He saved 20 of 22 shots in a 4-2 win over Canada in the bronze medal game.
