Filip Gustavsson Posts His First Shutout
2 years agoMinnesota Wild goaltender Filip Gustavsson recorded his first career shutout on Saturday, leaving the Canucks empty-handed in a 3-0 victory with 35 saves. The 24-year-old received his ninth start of the campaign as the team completed a back-to-back set, and Gustavsson didn't disappoint with his performance. He had a very tough time at the start of the season, but a four-game winning streak has pushed Gustavsson's record to a decent 5-4-1. Teams have gotten 2.47 goals per game against Gustavsson and his save percentage stands at .920. The Swedish netminder has become a strong option for Wild, although it might take a while until the team uses him again, as the next back-to-back set comes just ahead of the holiday break.
