Erik Gustafsson News
New York Rangers defenseman Erik Gustafsson enjoyed his reunion with the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday, producing three assists in a 5-2 win. With the game tied at two in the third period, Gustafsson set up Braden Schneider in an even-strength situation and helped Artemi Panarin register a power-play goal. He was also eager to get a goal against his former team, finishing with three shots on the net. Gustafsson has ended an eight-game dry spell with four points in two games, but he's stuck on the third defensive pairing when everybody is healthy, making it difficult for him to provide consistent offense.
The Toronto Maple Leafs continued to rework their backline with another move on Tuesday, trading for defenseman Erik Gustafsson. The team gave up fellow blue-liner Rasmus Sandin and also received a 2023 first-round draft pick in the deal. Gustafsson has played a major part in Washington this season due to John Carlson's (face) injury and boasts 38 points through 61 games. He will likely have a tough time replicating the numbers in Toronto, with the Maple Leafs blue line now full of quality. Meanwhile, Sandin, who's also been in fine form this season, should get a bigger role in D.C., which will boost his fantasy value. The 22-year-old has tallied 20 points across 52 outings with 58 shots on goal, 113 hits and 59 blocks.
Washington Capitals defenseman Erik Gustafsson picked up three assists in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Panthers. Two of the helpers came with the man advantage. The Swedish rearguard has been quarterbacking the first power-play unit ever since John Carlsson (face) got sidelined, but these are his first power-play points since the last game of 2022. For the season overall, Gustafsson has notched 33 points in 56 games with 106 shots, 49 hits and 51 blocks. There hasn't been any info regarding Carlsson's possible return, so Gustafsson will continue to play a big role on the Washington blue line for the foreseeable future.
Washington Capitals defenseman Erik Gustafsson grabbed two assists as the team beat Columbus 4-3 in overtime Tuesday. He helped to set up Trevor van Riemsdyk on Washington's third goal and also had a hand on Evgeny Kuznetsov's game-winner just 26 seconds into the extra frame. The Swedish rearguard has returned to prominence this season with 22 assists and 29 points in 52 games. He has been fairly quiet lately, but Gustafsson has done a good job filling in for John Carlson (face) and deserves to be monitored in all fantasy leagues.
