Gustafsson recorded an assist in Friday's 5-2 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

This was the the first point in six games for Gustafsson following his trade from the Capitals. The journeyman's best season was in 2018-19, when he dropped 60 points in 79 games for the Blackhawks, but the constant shuffling between teams has made it tough for him to reach new heights offensively. Worse yet, his TOI has dropped to 14:06 since being traded to Toronto after he registered 20:22 TOI and a 38-point output with the Caps.

Gustafsson and a 2023 first-round pick were traded to the Leafs from the Capitals in exchange for Rasmus Sandin on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson has excelled in a more offensive role for the Caps this season following the injury to John Carlson (face). In 61 games this year, the 30-year-old Gustafsson has generated seven goals and 31 assists, including 11 power-play points. With his new club, Gustafsson should be in the mix for power-play minutes, though the acquisition of Jake McCabe has created a crowded blue line for Toronto.

Gustavsson picked up three assists in a 6-3 loss to Florida on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson now has 26 assists, second to Evgeni Kuznetsov (36) on the Capitals. He's having the best season of his career since his 60-point season in Chicago in 2018-19. Gustafsson has flaws in his on-ice game, but his fantasy production can be exceptional when he's given the opportunity to be the top offensive option. He's on a near 50-point pace right now and will continue to play maestro for the Caps' offense until John Carlson (face) returns later in the season.

Gustafsson notched an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson's gone 12 games without a goal, but he's managed five assists and 29 shots on net in that span. The 30-year-old defenseman is up to 30 points, 102 shots on net, 50 blocked shots, 45 hits and a plus-8 rating through 54 contests. He continues to serve as the Capitals' top offensive defenseman with John Carlson (face) sidelined.

Gustafsson notched an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson set up a T.J. Oshie tally late in the second period. With four points over his last eight games, Gustafsson's offense has started to come back down after an impressive two-week burst in December. He's up to seven goals, 20 assists, 86 shots on net, 44 blocked shots, 36 hits and a plus-11 rating through 48 contests overall.

Gustafsson provided an assist and three shots on goal in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson is up to three points through seven games in January, a significant downturn after he closed December on a seven-game, 13-point streak. He's still seeing premium minutes for scoring chances while John Carlson (face) is out of action. Gustafsson has seven goals, 19 helpers, 81 shots on net, 42 blocked shots, 36 hits and a plus-11 rating through 45 appearances this season.

Gustafsson scored the lone goal Sunday in a 1-0 victory over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson's goal early in the first period, a long-range wrist shot that got past a screened Elvis Merzlikins, would stand as the game-winner in the 1-0 victory. With the tally Sunday, Gustafsson has 15 points (seven goals, eight assists) in his last 11 contests. The 30-year-old blueliner has emerged as an offensive threat in Washington this season with seven goals and 18 assists through 42 games.

Gustafsson had a goal and two assists in a 9-2 win over Montreal on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

His goal came quick Saturday when he worked a give-and-go with Evgeny Kuznetsov and scored from the left face-off circle just 32 seconds into the game. Gustafsson is on a seven-game, 13-point streak (six goals, seven assists) and he'll continue to get a lot of offensive opportunities with John Carlson (face) still out.

Gustafsson scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

He notched the secondary helper on what proved to be Marcus Johansson's game-winner midway through the first period, then gave the Capitals their first insurance marker late in the second. Gustafsson extended his point streak to five games in the process, a stretch in which he's racked up an improbable five goals and nine points, but with John Carlson (face) on injured reserve the journeyman blueliner could remain productive as long as he keeps his spot on Washington's first power-play unit.

Gustafsson scored a goal and an assist in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

After collecting a helper on the first of two Nic Dowd tallies 11 seconds apart in the second period, Gustafsson snuck off the blue line, took a feed from Lars Eller and snapped a shot past Ville Husso from the faceoff circle to tie the game at 3-3 early in the third. Gustafsson has erupted for four goals and five points over the last two games, but he had only one assist in the nine games prior. On the season, the veteran blueliner has four goals and 15 points through 33 contests.
