Gustafsson produced an assist and blocked two shots in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Gustafsson set up Brandon Hagel's third-period tally that decided the game. Between a minor wrist injury that kept Calvin de Haan out Saturday versus the Oilers and Riley Stillman (lower body) leaving Sunday's contest, it appears Gustafsson's path to regular playing time should remain clear. Once the Blackhawks' defense corps is at full health, the Swede could end up battling with Caleb Jones for one spot in the lineup. Gustafsson has five helpers, 18 shots on net, 16 blocks and a minus-1 rating through 17 appearances.
