Gustafsson was placed on waivers Monday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson has been a frequent healthy scratch with the Red Wings in the 2025-26 campaign, appearing in only two games. He hasn't earned a point while posting three shots on goal, one blocked shot and two hits during that span. Gustafsson has two goals and 20 points in 22 minor-league outings this season. He could return to AHL Grand Rapids if he clears waivers.

Gustafsson was summoned from AHL Grand Rapids on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson played well in Grand Rapids this season, tallying a pair of goals, 18 assists and a plus-18 rating in 22 AHL contests. The Red Wings are down to 12 healthy forwards, and it's possible that Gustafsson could see some action up front if the team runs into an injury problem ahead of its game versus San Jose on Friday.

Gustafsson was assigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

John Leonard was recalled by Detroit in a corresponding transaction. Gustafsson has gotten into just one game with the Red Wings this year. The left-shot blueliner will link back up with the Griffins, with whom he's notched one goal, 14 points and a plus-13 rating over 14 appearances in 2025-26.

Gustafsson was summoned from AHL Grand Rapids on an emergency basis Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Wings may need a seventh defenseman Thursday in Edmonton, as Simon Edvinsson was injured Wednesday in Calgary. Gustafsson has only played one NHL game this season, going minus-1 with two shots on goal. He had one goal and 13 assists in 14 AHL games before his recall. The Red Wings placed Mason Appleton (lower body) on injured reserve in a corresponding move.

Gustafsson notched three assists in AHL Grand Rapids' 3-2 win over Toronto on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson has four assists over three games since he returned to the Griffins after a brief NHL stint. The defenseman has stayed confident in the AHL this year, earning 12 helpers and a plus-11 rating over 13 appearances. If he gets back to Detroit, he'll likely be a rotational depth option on the third pairing.

Gustafsson was assigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Wings activated Michael Rasmussen (undisclosed) from injured reserve in a corresponding move. Gustafsson made his NHL season debut in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to Nashville, posting two shots on goal, one blocked shot, one hit and a minus-1 rating in 17:23 of ice time. He has collected eight assists in 10 minor-league outings this campaign.

Gustafsson has been recalled by the Red Wings from AHL Grand Rapids, the team announced Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson has over 500 games of NHL experience to his name, but he has spent the entirety of the 2025-26 season in the AHL so far. The 33-year-old has eight assists in 10 games with AHL Grand Rapids this year. In 2024-25, the veteran defenseman had two goals and 16 assists but a minus-19 rating in 60 games.

Gustafsson was loaned to AHL Grand Rapids on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson was a healthy scratch for Thursday's season opener against Montreal after clearing waivers. He had two goals and 16 assists, including nine points on the power play, in 60 regular-season appearances in 2024-25. The Red Wings activated veteran winger James van Riemsdyk (not injury related) in a corresponding move.

Gustafsson was placed on waivers by the Red Wings on Sunday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson was one of a handful of normal NHL regulars who hit the waiver wire Sunday. The 33-year-old ended the 2024-25 campaign injured, but he still logged 60 games with Detroit last year, recording two goals and 18 points. If Gustafsson suits up in an AHL game, it will be for the first time since the 2017-18 season.

Gustafsson (undisclosed) will join Team Sweden for the 2025 IIHF World Chmapionship.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson ended the 2024-25 season with 14 straight absences due to his long-term injury. However, it appears he has recovered enough in recent weeks to be back in playing shape. Gustafsson has another year on his contract, so he's expected to be back with the Red Wings in a bottom-four capacity in 2025-26.
