Erik Gustafsson played a superb hockey game in his second career playoff appearance Sunday.
He netted his first postseason goal and blocked a team-high seven shots in Philadelphia's 5-1 triumph over Pittsburgh. Gustafsson skated for 22:09 of ice time, while playing against star players Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, and he finished with a plus-3 rating. He stepped into the lineup when Nicklas Grossmann went down, with a suspected concussion, and has not looked out of place despite being a rookie.
