Gustafsson scored two goals in AHL Manitoba's 5-2 loss to Laval on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson began the NHL season on the Jets' roster but was waived Thursday to make room for Jonathan Toews' return from an undisclosed injury. This was Gustafsson's first stint in the AHL since 2023-24, as he was able to spend all of 2024-25 in a part-time NHL role that saw him produce six points over 36 regular-season appearances. He'll be near the top of the list of call-ups should the Jets need reinforcements this season.

Gustafsson was placed on waivers by the Jets on Thursday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson made 36 regular-season appearances for the Jets last year, recording two goals, four assists, 19 hits and 18 blocked shots while averaging 8:59 of ice time. However, he'll land on waivers ahead of Thursday's Opening Night matchup against the Stars since Jonathan Toews (undisclosed) is slated to be activated by the Jets.

Gustafsson scored a goal in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Blues in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson ended an eight-game point drought with the third-period tally. It briefly brought the Jets within two goals, but the Blues continued their barrage of goals less than a minute later. Gustafsson had just six points in 36 regular-season outings, and his place in the lineup isn't secure once the Jets are closer to full health at forward.

Gustafsson scored a goal in Friday's 4-0 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson's point drought was only six games, but he had been scratched 11 times in that span. The 24-year-old drew back into the lineup since Rasmus Kupari (concussion) is experiencing symptoms from an earlier injury. Gustafsson will likely remain on the fourth line until the Jets get Kupari or Gabriel vilardi (upper body) back. For the season, Gustafsson has two goals, six points, a plus-10 rating, 27 shots on net, 18 hits and 18 blocked shots over 30 appearances.

Gustafsson logged 11:41 of ice time and recorded three shots on goal in Wednesday's 4-1 win against the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

The Jets took an early lead and dominated the flow of the game, allowing the fourth line to get some extended run. Gustafsson's nearly 12 minutes on the ice was his most in a game in the entire month of February and just his eighth above 10 minutes in the calendar year. His three shots on goal were his most in a game all season. That being said, the 2018 second-round draft pick has just one point in his last seven games, so his fantasy value remains limited.

Gustafsson notched an assist in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson has found some success lately with a goal and four assists over his last seven outings. That's all of his offense through 23 appearances this season, and he's added 21 shots on net, 16 hits, 14 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating. Gustafsson fills a fourth-line role and is unlikely to produce enough in any one area to help most fantasy managers.

Gustafsson logged an assist in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson has earned a point in three straight games after opening the season scoreless over 16 appearances. The 24-year-old center helped out on a Kyle Connor tally in the first period of this contest. Gustafsson has one goal, two helpers, 17 shots on net, 14 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 19 outings. Don't expect his success on offense to last much longer.

Gustafsson scored a goal and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-2 win over Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson has a goal and an assist over his last two outings after failing to get on the scoresheet in his first 16 games of the season. He's added 17 shots on net, 13 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 18 appearances. Gustafsson looks set to stay in a fourth-line role for now while Rasmus Kupari has moved up to center the third line in the absence of Adam Lowry (upper body).

Gustafsson recorded an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

The helper was Gustafsson's first point of the season. The 24-year-old has played in 17 games, adding 16 shots on net, 13 hits, nine blocked shots, seven PIM and a plus-1 rating. When the Jets are at full health, he might be at risk of sitting out as a healthy scratch, but he should be safe to handle bottom-six minutes while Adam Lowry (upper body) is out of action.

Gustafsson (concussion) was taken off injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson has missed Winnipeg's past four games. Although he's now an option to draw into the lineup, Gustafsson will probably spend most games in the press box. He has no points, five PIM, four shots and four hits in three appearances with the Jets while averaging 7:55 of ice time this campaign.
