Gustavsson saved 19 of 21 shots in a 7-2 preseason victory over Chicago on Tuesday.

One of the two goals Gustavsson surrendered came during a Blackhawks power play. It was a nice tune-up game for the 26-year-old goaltender as he attempts to rebound from his rough 2023-24 campaign. He had a 20-17-5 record, 3.06 GAA and .899 save percentage across 45 regular-season outings with Minnesota last year -- a major drop from his fantastic 2.10 GAA and .931 save percentage in 39 appearances in 2022-23.
