Gustafsson was recalled from AHL Rockford on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

With the Blackhawks faced with a 3-0 series deficit against the Predators in the conference quarterfinals, GM Stan Bowman has called up Gustafsson along with forwards Kyle Baun and Tyler Motte. Giving all of those players a look in Game 4 wouldn't necessarily be an unprecedented move considering Chicago is in desperation mode, and the Swedish blueliner actually appeared in 41 NHL games last season, not including five in the playoffs. Gustafsson should be a sneaky option if it's not too late to add him in playoff pools.
