Rotowire
Gustavsson made 27 saves on 30 shots in a 6-3 win over Toronto on Monday.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Earns third shutout of season
Rotowire
Gustavsson posted a 25-save shutout in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Capitals.

The Wild also have Jesper Wallstedt in what's becoming an embarrassment of riches in the crease, with both goalies worth starting in fantasy whenever they get the nod.
