Latest news
Gustafsson notched an assist and two PIM in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canucks.
Gustafsson had been scratched for the previous three games, but he took Albert Johansson's spot in the lineup Sunday. Those two blueliners, along with Justin Holl, have regularly rotated in and out of the lineup. Gustafsson is at four assists, 23 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 17 appearances this season. His helper Sunday was his first even-strength point of the campaign.

Gustafsson recorded a power-play assist and two PIM in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Sharks.
Gustafsson put an 11-game slump to rest when he set up Marco Kasper's first-period tally. Gustafsson has played in a majority of games, though he was scratched twice during his dry spell and is far from a lock to play every contest. He has just three helpers with 22 shots on net, 12 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 14 outings. Gustafsson's main value is in power-play production -- he's earned all of his assists with the man advantage -- but he's been limited to the second unit for the better part of the last month, which reduces his opportunities to make an impact.

Gustafsson registered a power-play assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and four PIM in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers.
Gustafsson has an assist in each of his two games this season, both coming on the power play. He's added five shots on net, three blocked shots and a minus-2 rating. Gustafsson has done the job he was signed for, but he may end up slipping out of the lineup once again, as Jeff Petry (upper body) was cleared to play Saturday versus the Predators after a three-game absence.

Gustafsson posted a power-play assist, three shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.
Gustafsson had to fill a larger role than expected in his Detroit debut, as Jeff Petry (upper body) left the game early. Gustafsson was signed by the Red Wings as a direct replacement for Shayne Gostisbehere -- a third-pairing option who can also run a power play. The 32-year-old Gustafsson had 31 points (nine on the power play) over 76 regular-season outings with the Rangers last season. If Petry misses time, Gustafsson may be pressed into a top-four role, though his defensive struggles could largely offset the extra opportunities he'd receive with more ice time.
RotoWire via ESPN · Oct 11
Gustafsson signed a two-year, $4 million contract with the Red Wings on Monday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet on Monday.
Gustafsson had six goals and 31 points in 76 regular-season games with the Rangers in 2023-24. The 32-year-old is likely to serve on either Detroit's second or third pairing, and he should also see some time on the second power-play unit.
