Pittsburgh acquired Gustafsson from Winnipeg on Monday in exchange for Jack St. Ivany.
During the 2025-26 campaign with AHL Manitoba, Gustafsson earned 10 goals and 32 points in 48 regular-season games before providing one goal and three helpers in seven playoff outings. The 26-year-old forward has six goals and 20 points in 149 NHL regular-season appearances. Gustafsson is a restricted free agent this offseason, and he is eligible to file for arbitration.
