Injured Reserve · expected back around Nov 19
Gustavsson was moved to long-term injured reserve earlier in October, so Sunday's update isn't particularly surprising. The 28-year-old netminder recently began skating on his own, but he still has several steps to take in his recovery before he's in the mix to return to game action. Jesper Wallstedt and Calvin Pickard should continue to handle goaltending duties in Gustavsson's absence.

Latest news
Head coach John Hynes said Sunday that Gustavsson (hip) is slated to miss at least another month, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports.
Gustavsson was moved to long-term injured reserve earlier in October, so Sunday's update isn't particularly surprising. The 28-year-old netminder recently began skating on his own, but he still has several steps to take in his recovery before he'll be in the mix to return to game action. Jesper Wallstedt and Calvin Pickard should continue to handle goaltending duties in Gustavsson's absence.

Gustavsson (hip) was placed on long-term injured reserve Friday.
Gustavsson was placed on injured reserve ahead of the regular season following offseason hip surgery, and he isn't expected to return until around early November. As a result, it isn't very surprising to see him shift to long-term injured reserve, and the move shouldn't impact his return timetable. Jesper Wallstedt should continue to serve as Minnesota's No. 1 netminder in Gustavsson's absence.

Gustavsson (hip) was placed on injured reserve Monday, according to Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News.
Gustavsson is expected to be out until at least early November. He posted a 28-15-6 record with two shutouts, a 2.69 GAA and a .903 save percentage in 50 appearances for Minnesota during the 2025-26 regular season. Once he returns, Gustavsson will be in the mix for starts with Jesper Wallstedt.

Gustavsson (hip) is expected to return around early November, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports Friday.
This is the first timeline that's been provided regarding Gustavsson's recovery. It also means he'll be missing about a month to begin the campaign. In Gustavsson's absence, expect Jesper Wallstedt to get a heavy workload while Calvin Pickard mixes in as the backup.

Gustavsson is still recovering from his offseason surgery ahead of training camp, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Friday.
While Gustavsson's teammates have moved past their injuries from late in the 2025-26 campaign, the netminder is still recovering from the procedure he underwent early in the offseason. The 28-year-old's recovery timetable isn't yet clear, and whether he'll be available for preseason action or the start of the regular season remains to be seen. Gustavsson lost out on playing time to Jesper Wallstedt late in the 2025-26 season, and Wallstedt will presumably have increased opportunities to earn the No. 1 goaltending job if Gustavsson is sidelined during camp, while Calvin Pickard will be available as a depth option.

Gustavsson will undergo hip surgery in the offseason, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports Monday.
According to general manager Bill Guerin, Gustavsson's availability for the start of the 2026-27 season won't be known until after his procedure. On top of that concern for fantasy managers, the fact that the 27-year-old backstop was effectively benched for the postseason in favor of Jesper Wallstedt will raise questions about who is the No. 1 option heading into next season.
