Gustafsson scored a power-play goal on two shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Jets in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

The Swede opened the scoring at 8:01 of the first period. Gustafsson has picked up three points in seven playoff contests while filling in for Jon Merrill (undisclosed). With just three shots on net, three hits and two blocked shots, Gustafsson hasn't provided much non-scoring production while in the lineup.

Gustafsson recorded a power-play assist in Monday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 7.

EDGE Analysis

The helper on Corey Perry's second-period goal was Gustafsson's first point in three playoff contests. The Swedish blueliner is likely to remain in the lineup as long as Jon Merrill (undisclosed) is out, which is believed to be a 1-to-2 week absence. Gustafsson will likely see limited time on even strength while often serving as a power-play specialist.

Gustaffsson had two assists, one on the power play, and five shots on net over 12:13 of ice time in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson had a hand in both Montreal goals, sliding secondary assists on scores by Nick Suzuki and Tyler Toffoli, who scored on the power play. With Jonathan Drouin (illness) unavailable for the second straight game, Gustafsson was in the lineup, and once again the defenseman skated as a forward on the fourth line. He could remain on the active roster for Monday's series finale against Calgary, as Drouin, Paul Byron (lower body) and Tomas Tatar (lower body) are dealing with injuries.

Gustafsson finished plus-1 over 7:12 of ice time in Friday's 4-2 loss to Calgary.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson was a pre-game replacement for Jonathan Drouin (illness), giving Montreal a seventh defenseman for the game. His night included 1:07 on the power play.

Gustafsson will make his Canadiens debut Friday against Calgary, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Montreal will use Gustafsson as the seventh defenseman with Jonathan Drouin (undisclosed) not available for Friday's game. The 29-year-old blueliner tallied 10 points in 24 games with the Flyers previously this season.

Gustafsson cleared the NHL's COVID-19 protocols and practiced with the Canadiens for the first time Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson isn't expected to be in the lineup for Wednesday's matchup with Edmonton, but he could make his Montreal debut soon. He picked up 10 points in 24 games with the Flyers before being dealt to the Canadiens at the trade deadline.

The Canadiens acquired Gustafsson from the Flyers via trade Monday for a 2022 seventh-round draft pick, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

For a second straight season, Gustafsson is on the move at the trade deadline. The Canadiens lost Victor Mete on waivers to the Senators on Monday, and Gustafsson will help fill the void as the Habs make a playoff push. Gustafsson fell out of the rotation in Philadelphia, but he managed to post 10 points -- four with the man advantage -- through 24 games with the Flyers this season. He'll likely need to quarantine for seven days after arriving in Montreal.

Gustafsson registered a goal and an assist with two shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson cranked a one-timer from the point to open the scoring 7:48 into the game, collecting his first goal of the season. He also assisted on Shayne Gostisbehere's power-play tally later in the period. The 28-year-old has provided nine points through his first 14 games as a Flyer.

Gustafsson dished out a pair of assists in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson was the only player from either team to post a multi-point night. He had just 29 points in 66 games split between Chicago and Calgary last season after a 60-point campaign with the Blackhawks the year before, but Gustafsson seems to have rediscovered his offense in Philadelphia with five helpers through seven games.

Gustafsson notched two power-play assists in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old got his Philly tenure off to a flying start, picking up helpers on two goals with the man advantage in the first period. Gustafsson had a disappointing 2019-20 campaign but piled up 17 goals and 60 points for Chicago the season before, and given the firepower around him on his new club, he could be poised for a rebound.
