In six starts this season, Gustavsson has gone 4-1-2, posting a 2.90 GAA and .893 save mark. While these aren’t the most spectacular numbers, they’re not too shabby for an Oilers backup netminder with a non-playoff calibre defense in front of him.
Gustavsson plays an incredibly unorthodox style, where he will do whatever it takes to stop the puck. He doesn’t stick to a butterfly or stand-up style, and instead, adjusts his technique based on the shots he faces. While he is able to make use of his stick well and acommodate to the plays, there are times where he lets in soft goals that he should definitely have.
