Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Picks up overtime win
Rotowire
Gustavsson stopped 23 of 25 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Golden Knights.
Both goals Gustavsson gave up came on Vegas power plays. He had lost his last two outings (0-1-1) while allowing a total of six goals on 45 shots in that span. For the season, Gustavsson has a 5-7-2 record with a 2.99 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 14 starts. He's getting a little bit of pressure from Jesper Wallstedt, who has posted a shutout in each of his last two starts, which could force the Wild's crease into more of a timeshare situation. The Wild have a tough matchup ahead as they host the Hurricanes on Wednesday.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Loses in overtime
Rotowire
Gustavsson stopped 16 of 18 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Sharks.
Gustavsson was given a couple of games off to reset following a 2-2-1 stretch in which he allowed 15 goals on 143 shots (.895 save percentage). The 27-year-old wasn't able to make a one-goal lead stick in this contest, as Will Smith scored a power-play tally in the third period and Collin Graf netted the game-winner in overtime. Gustavsson is down to 4-7-2 with a 3.09 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 13 outings. It's too soon to say Gustavsson is losing his grip on the starting job, but Jesper Wallstedt has won his last two starts and could start earning extra playing time soon. The Wild will need both goalies this weekend in a pair of tough home matchups, as they are set to host the Ducks on Saturday and the Golden Knights on Sunday.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Rough start continues
Rotowire
Gustavsson made 23 saves in a 4-3 loss to Carolina on Thursday night.
This season has been a rough go for Gustavsson, who sports a 4-7-1 record, 3.19 GAA and .896 save percentage in 12 starts. That's a far cry from his stand-out 31-19-6 record, 2.56 GAA and .914 save percentage in 58 starts last season. Gustavsson is better than his record indicates, but his ratios are a drag on cumulative fantasy categories where it can be hard to overcome a slow start.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Grabs win over Nashville
Rotowire
Gustavsson stopped 32 of 34 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
Gustavsson nearly had the win in regulation, but Steven Stamkos was able to score within the final second of the third period. The Wild still came away victorious after Marcus Johansson was awarded a goal in overtime when Justus Annunen dislodged the net. Odd happenings aside, Gustavsson has won two games in a row for the first time all year, allowing just four goals on 62 shots in that span. He's at a 4-6-1 record with a 3.11 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 11 appearances. The Wild have a road back-to-back coming up, with visits to the Hurricanes on Thursday and the Islanders on Friday, so Gustavsson and Jesper Wallstedt can be expected to split those games.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Ends skid in Saturday's win
Rotowire
Gustavsson allowed two goals on 28 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
Gustavsson had lost his previous four outings (0-3-1), but he was able to quiet an injury-riddled Canucks team. It was also the first time since his Oct. 20 win over the Rangers that he allowed fewer than three goals. It's been a rough go of things for Gustavsson in 2025-26, with a 3-6-1 record, a 3.23 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 10 appearances. However, he'll continue to be the starter, as Jesper Wallstedt hasn't done anything to push for a larger role. The Wild host the Predators on Tuesday.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Beaten by Penguins
Rotowire
Gustavsson stopped 30 of 33 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Penguins. The fourth goal was an empty-netter late in the third period.
There wasn't much Gustavsson could've done on any of the three goals he allowed -- one was a tip-in, another one came on the power play, and the remaining one was a furious slap shot. The 27-year-old has been slumping of late, going 0-3-1 over his last four starts while allowing at least three goals in each outing during that stretch.

The 26-year-old has now allowed four or more goals in four of his eight outings, falling to a 2-5-1 record.

Utah scored three times in the first five minutes of the first period, and Minnesota never recovered. It's the third time in seven starts that Gustavsson has surrendered five or more goals, and after alternating good and bad seasons over the last few years, it's beginning to look like he's headed for another bad one.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Tagged with loss Wednesday
Rotowire
Gustavsson stopped 31 of 34 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Devils. The fourth goal was an empty-netter with 1:17 left in the third period.
Minnesota was pushing for a late comeback by the time Jesper Bratt scored the Devils' fourth goal. Gustavsson has posted a save percentage above .910 in his last two games after struggling in his previous appearances, but the Wild's defensive issues will continue to limit his fantasy upside. All things considered, Gustavsson has gone 2-4-0 with a 3.03 GAA and a .902 save percentage through six games in 2025-26, stopping 165 of the 183 shots he's faced. It's still early in the season, but those numbers represent a downgrade compared to what he did in 2024-25 (2.56 GAA, .914 save percentage).

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: In goal Wednesday
Rotowire
Gustavsson will get the starting nod on the road versus the Devils on Wednesday, Wild radio broadcaster Joe O'Donnell reports.
Gustavsson is coming off a 23-save performance against the Rangers on Monday in which he secured his second victory of the season. It's been an up-and-down start to the campaign for the 27-year-old netminder, as he has given up five or more goals twice in just five outings while also posting a shutout in the season opener. Despite the inconsistencies, Gustavsson figures to remain the No. 1 option ahead of Jesper Wallstedt.
