Filip Gustavsson Battling An Illness
3 days agoMinnesota Wild goaltender Filip Gustavsson did not complete Saturday's 4 Nations Face-Off matchup for Sweden against Finland due to an illness, as reported by Dan Rosen of NHL.com. Gustavsson started the game but exited after the first period, having allowed two goals on four shots. Linus Ullmark of the Ottawa Senators replaced him and helped the Swedes push the game to overtime, where Finland potted a 4-3 game-winner. Gustavsson has struggled at the tournament, posting a .813 save percentage, so even if he recovers in time for Monday's matchup against the USA, Team Sweden head coach Sam Hallam may opt to go with another goaltender. In addition to Ullmark, who stopped 15 of 17 shots on Saturday, Hallam also has Samuel Ersson of the Philadelphia Flyers available for selection.
