2025 Fantasy Outlook
Gustavsson had a rough 2023-24 campaign, but he completely turned things around in 2024-25 while taking on a starter's workload for a full season. He went 31-19-6 with a 2.56 GAA and a .914 save percentage over 58 regular-season appearances and maintained similar numbers in a six-game first-round loss to the Golden Knights in the playoffs. Gustavsson has also learned from a great mentor in Marc-Andre Fleury, whose retirement means Gustavsson should have more job security in 2025-26. The Wild are likely to roll with Jesper Wallstedt as the backup, though if he finds his way at the NHL level quickly, Gustavsson may see a smaller workload. Gustavsson has had high-end numbers in two of the last three years, and at 27 years old, he's firmly in his prime. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a five-year, $34 million contract extension with the Wild in October of 2025.
Gives up six goals Saturday
Gustavsson allowed six goals on 31 shots faced in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Blue Jackets. The seventh goal was an empty-netter with 1:26 left in the third period.
ANALYSIS
Gustavsson was beaten once in the first period, twice in the second and three times in the final frame. He posted a 26-save shutout in the season-opening win over the Blues, so fantasy managers have seen both extremes from the 27-year-old netminder so far. Gustavsson will aim to bounce back against the Kings on Monday before the Wild start a five-game road trip.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2023
2022
Gustavsson's fall in 2023-24 was epic. His GAA went up almost a full goal (2.10 to 3.06) and his save percentage went from elite to below average (.931 to .899). Together, he and Marc Andre Fleury were the second-worst pairing in the league in GSAx (goals saved above expected) with a -16.72. Gustavsson's own GSAx nosedived more than 28 goals. He did rebound a bit in the second half, going 7-5-2 with a .906 save percentage after the All-Star Game. Can he rebound? Probably, but it's hard to know how far. That's why the 26-year-old netminder has been the subject of summer trade rumors because elite prospect Jesper Wallstedt is waiting in the wings. Gustavsson's best option may be in another city. He's a watch-and-wait option for your draft unless risk is your middle name.
