Erik Gustafsson has played in 53 games for the Chicago Blackhawks this season. In those games, Gustafsson has scored six goals and has 19 assists. That totals to 25 points in 53 games.
That isn’t too bad for a defenseman. He is an offensive defenseman. The problem is, he hasn’t played much defense. He was on the ice for the losing goal two nights ago in Minnesota. Due to all of the injuries on defense, he’s seen more ice time than expected.
For those who aren’t too keen on Gustafsson playing a lot of minutes, I’ve got bad news for you.
