Gustavsson will start on Friday vs. Tampa Bay. Minnesota was confidently rolling with Gustavsson to start the 2024-25 season, allowing two or fewer goals in his first five games (4-0-1) before a forgettable outing in his most recent contest, allowing six goals on 22 shots (.727 SV%) in a disappointing 7-5 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. That said, the 26-year-old Gustavsson is still sporting an excellent 2.17 GAA and .922 SV% through six games this season (4-1-1). Minnesota enters the action on Friday as -113 home favorites against the Tampa Bay Lightning, winners of three straight.
