Gaustad (lower body) was activated from injured reserve ahead of Saturday's game against the Flyers. He ended up skating 15:17 in a 4-1 victory. Gaustad didn't attempt any shots in his return from the six-game absence, but did win 12 of his 19 faceoffs. That's essentially the only area the fourth-line center offers much value, as he's not an especially willing hitter.
