During this stretch, Gustavsson has only allowed one goal and stopped 62 of the 63 shots he saw. However, before this recent impressive stretch, Gustavsson held a modest .921 save percentage with a 2.20 GAA over his previous four contests.

Team Sweden's head coach Sam Hallman did not name a starting goaltender yet for their game against Team USA on Monday evening. Gustavsson departed early on Saturday afternoon during their overtime loss to Team Finland. Gustavsson stopped two of the four shots he faced before leaving the contest in the opening frame.
