Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Yields four goals in loss
Filip Gustavsson stopped 33 of 37 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.Gustavsson has not risen to the occasion in his last two starts, allowing a total of 10 goals on 64 shots to the Avalanche and Golden Knights. The 26-year-old netminder has seen a starter's workload when healthy this season, so it's possible he may just need a little extra rest to get on track, and that could happen with Marc-Andre Fleury playing well lately. Gustavsson is down to 18-8-3 with a 2.50 GAA and a .917 save percentage through 30 starts. The Minnesota Wild have another tough matchup next on the schedule, as they host the Oilers on Wednesday.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Struggles against Avalanche
Filip Gustavsson stopped 21 of 27 shots in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Avalanche.Gustavsson had to take this one on the chin -- Marc-Andre Fleury dressed as backup despite battling an illness because the Minnesota Wild also have two injured goalies at AHL Iowa and couldn't make a recall work with limited cap space. This was a second poor outing in a row for Gustavsson, who has allowed 10 goals on the last 45 shots he's faced. He dropped to 18-7-3 with a 2.44 GAA and a .918 save percentage over 29 appearances, but he's also started seven of the last eight games since returning from a lower-body injury. The Wild have a back-to-back up next with road games in San Jose on Saturday and in Vegas on Sunday.
