Gustavsson has ceded the majority of recent starts to Marc-Andre Fleury, who will presumably get the nod against the Golden Knights in Minnesota on Thursday. |

The fifth goal was an empty-netter. - Gustavsson's six-game winning streak came to a crashing halt, with Erik Karlsson (goal, three assists) doing most of the damage.

His mates spit up the puck in the offensive zone late in the first and it led to the first Montreal goal. Paul Byron and Cole Caufield struck quickly in the second, just 1:41 apart, to put the Habs up 3-1 and then Joel Armia scored on the power play in the last minute of the second. Then defender Brett Kulak sashayed down Main Street, through all defenders, and took a touch pass from Nick Suzuki before ripping it high past Gustavsson. Yah, Brett Kulak walked through everyone. Gustavsson hasn't won since Nov. 13, but has only started seven times since then. He will be in line for a lot more ice time if Anton Forsberg gets dealt by Monday's deadline. |

Gustavsson will get the starting nod at home versus the Coyotes on Monday, Wayne Scanlan of the Ottawa Citizen reports. - Gustavsson will make just his third appearance in the crease for the Senators since the calendar flipped to 2022. In his last 10 outings for the club, the netminder has just one win with a 1-8-1 record and 4.05 GAA, so fantasy players may not want to be banking on him keeping the puck out of the net versus the Coyotes. |

Gustavsson was elevated from AHL Belleville on Tuesday. - Gustavsson figures to serve as the No. 2 option against the Wild on Tuesday after Matt Murray (undisclosed) was ruled out for personal reasons. Assuming Murray is good to go for Saturday's clash with Montreal, the 23-year-old Gustavsson figures to end up back in the minors following Tuesday's tilt. |

Gustavsson was reassigned to AHL Belleville on Monday. - Gustavsson's demotion is likely an indication that Matt Murray (undisclosed) will at least be healthy enough to serve as the backup versus Minnesota on Tuesday. For his part, the 23-year-old Gustavsson has struggled in his limited opportunities of late, as he is stuck in a six-game losing streak during which he posted a 4.42 GAA. |

Gustavsson allowed two goals on 33 shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers. - Gustavsson was sharp in just his second NHL appearance since Dec. 7, but Igor Shesterkin was even better in the opposing net, keeping the 23-year-old Swede winless since Nov. 13. Ottawa took an early 1-0 lead, but Gustavsson allowed the game-tying goal to Ryan Strome later in the opening frame, and Artemi Panarin beat him cleanly on a second-period power play for the game-winner. With Matt Murray (undisclosed) expected back soon, Gustavsson may be relegated back to the AHL before he gets another chance to start for Ottawa. |

Gustavsson will protect the home goal Sunday versus the Rangers, Ian Mendes of TSN 1200 Ottawa reports. - Gustavsson will get the second half of a back-to-back after Anton Forsberg tended the twine Saturday in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Bruins. Gustavsson has struggled at the NHL level this year with a 3.79 GAA and an .892 save percentage in 12 contests, so he'll be a weaker option for fantasy against a solid Rangers team. |
None |
| Feb. 16, 2022 |
Gustavsson was recalled by the Senators on Wednesday. - Matt Murray exited Tuesday's loss to the Blues with an undisclosed injury, so Gustavsson could be in for an extended stay with the big club.

Gustavsson stopped 23 of 26 shots after replacing Anton Forsberg in the first period of Thursday's 6-4 loss to Pittsburgh. - Forsberg gave up two quick goals and the Penguins scored an empty-netter late, but Gustavsson was serviceable in between.

Gustavsson was reassigned to AHL Belleville on Monday. - Considering Gustavsswon hasn't played in a game since Dec. 7 versus the Islanders, the move could be more about getting him ice time than a decision to go with Matt Murray and Anton Forsberg at the NHL level. In 11appearances this year, the 23-year-old Gustavsson has posted a 3-7-1 record and 3.78 GAA, not exactly the type of performance to instill confidence in his performance moving forward. |

Gustavsson (COVID-19 protocols) was removed from the NHL's protocols Wednesday. - With the Senators not scheduled to play again until Saturday's matchup with Toronto, Gustavsson could still be in the mix to start over Matt Murray, who was recently called up from the minors. Considering the 23-year-old netminder is bogged down in a four-game losing streak during which he posted a 5.08 GAA, Ottawa doesn't have a lot of good options between the pipes until Anton Forsberg (COVID-19 protocols) returns to the lineup. |

Gustavsson will protect the home goal Tuesday versus the Islanders, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports. - Gustavsson allowed nine goals over his last two starts before watching Anton Forsberg start three straight games.

Gustavsson will start Wednesday's home game versus the Canucks, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports. - Gustavsson has lost three of his last four games, allowing 14 goals in that span.

Gustavsson and the Senators have had their next three games postponed as the team goes through a COVID-19 outbreak. - Gustavsson is the team's top goalie option with Matt Murray among the Senators currently in COVID-19 protocols, but this decision by the league will provide a reprieve that could allow Murray to return before the team next takes the ice, which will be no earlier than Nov. 22 in Colorado. The game scheduled for Nov. 16 in New Jersey, as well as Nov. 18 and 20 home tilts against the Predators and Rangers, respectively, will all need to be rescheduled. |
