Gustafsson produced an assist and four hits in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Gustafsson had the secondary helper on Patrick Kane's opening tally in the first period. The 30-year-old Gustafsson has played in just nine of the Blackhawks' last 20 games, picking up two assists and a minus-5 rating in that span. The Swede has 16 points, 62 shots on net, 36 hits, 44 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating in 48 contests overall. He's not much of an option in fantasy given the part-time role, but he sees regular power-play time when he plays -- that gives him some appeal in DFS formats.

The 29-year-old blueliner has a goal, 11 assists, a plus-3 rating, 45 shots on net, 36 blocked shots and 27 hits in 35 outings overall.

The Swedish blueliner is up to nine points, 37 shots on net, 33 blocked shots, 24 hits and a plus-2 rating in 31 outings, with Thursday being his second multi-point effort of the season.

Gustafsson notched a power-play assist and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Gustafsson had the secondary helper on Alex DeBrincat's second-period tally. The 29-year-old Gustafsson has two assists in his last eight games, as he continues to struggle on offense. He's at seven points, 31 shots on net, 29 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in 28 contests overall. Considering his defense isn't all that steady either, Gustafsson could be at risk of losing his place in the lineup once Calvin de Haan (illness) is ready to return.

Gustafsson scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Gustafsson got the Blackhawks on the board in the first period. The 29-year-old defenseman has produced a goal, five assists, 29 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in 24 contests. The Swede will likely remain a presence on the power play, but he hasn't done much on offense in his second stint with Chicago.
