Gustafsson scored his first NHL goal and had an assist in Saturday's loss to the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

The Blakhawks got blown out by the Islanders in their own building, but Gustafsson stood out in a good way, firing four shots on goal and recording a plus-1 rating in 20:55 of ice time. The 25-year-old was recently called up from AHL Rockford and had been producing well in the minors (17 points in 25 games). He's seeing some power-play time right now and has offensive skills, so Gustafsson could be worth keeping an eye on if he sticks around.

The Blackhawks recalled Gustafsson from AHL Rockford on Tuesday, Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson has played well in the minors this season, notching three goals and 17 points in 25 contests. The 2012 fourth-round pick's first opportunity to make his season debut with the Blackhawks will come Tuesday against the Senators.

Gustafsson signed a one-year contract with the Blackhawks on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson had a semi-regular role with the Blackhawks in 2015-16, notching 14 assists and 58 shots on goal while registering a plus-11 rating in 41 games with Chicago, but the Swedish defender was unable to crack the big club's lineup last season, as he spent the entirety of the campaign with AHL Rockford, notching 30 points (five goals, 25 assists) in 68 games. The 2012 fourth-round pick will likely once again spend the majority of the 2017-18 campaign in the minors, but he'll get a chance to compete for a spot on the Blackhawks' Opening Night roster in training camp.

Gustafsson was recalled from AHL Rockford on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

With the Blackhawks faced with a 3-0 series deficit against the Predators in the conference quarterfinals, GM Stan Bowman has called up Gustafsson along with forwards Kyle Baun and Tyler Motte. Giving all of those players a look in Game 4 wouldn't necessarily be an unprecedented move considering Chicago is in desperation mode, and the Swedish blueliner actually appeared in 41 NHL games last season, not including five in the playoffs. Gustafsson should be a sneaky option if it's not too late to add him in playoff pools.

Gustafsson will be a healthy scratch for Saturday's game against the Ducks, Brian Hedger of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Joel Quenneville will shake up his defensive pairings Saturday as Gustafsson will sit in place of Trevor Van Riemsdyk. Gustafsson had played in all 11 games since returning from a lower body injury in mid-January.

Gustafsson (lower body) will rejoin the lineup Sunday against the Canadiens, Tracey Myers of CSN Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson missed each of the past two games with what was reportedly a small right knee issue. It appears it's doing well enough for him tor return Sunday, where he will rejoin one of the hottest lineups in the NHL at the moment. The 24-year-old blueliner has been a nice source of offense in his 14 games with the team, notching seven assists over that span and carving out a role on the power play.

Gustafsson (lower body) won't play Friday against the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson will miss a second consecutive game Friday with a lower-body ailment he sustained in Tuesday's game against Nashville. The 23-year-old blueliner is listed as day-to-day with the ailment, indicating he could return to action as soon as Sunday against the Canadiens. Expect an update on Gustafsson's status ahead of the Hawks' matchup with Montreal.

Gustafsson (lower body) won't play Thursday against the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson left Thursday's morning skate early after tweaking a lower-body injury he sustained in Tuesday's game against Nashville. His absence Thursday will be a big blow to the Hawks' defense, as the former fourth round pick has been fantastic of late, racking up three assists and five shots on goal in Chicago's last three games. Expect an update on Gustafsson's status ahead of Friday's matchup with Toronto.

Gustafsson was recalled by the Blackhawks on Monday, Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson was reassigned to AHL Rockford on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Despite putting in six solid performances, during which he accumulated three assists and a plus-5 rating, Gustafsson has been relegated back to the AHL following Michal Rozsival's return from injury. Gustafsson is currently playing his first season in North America at 23 years old, and is likely to be recalled to the big club at some point this season.
