Wild goaltender Filip Gustavsson is set to return tonight against the Chicago Blackhawks.
ST. PAUL - Minnesota Wild (20-10-4) goaltender Filip Gustavsson is set to return tonight against the Chicago Blackhawks (12-20-2).
Gustavsson, 26, has missed the last four games with an upper-body injury and has not played in the last five games. The Wild went 1-4-0 in that span with 15 goals allowed.
The 6-foot-2 goaltender was on the ice for the Wild's morning skate on Monday. Wild head coach John Hynes said he would make a decision on who would start in goal against Chicago after the skate.
But, Gustavsson was the first goalie off the ice and Marc-Andre Fleury was getting extra work in with the scratches after practicing.
All signs point to Gustavsson starting tonight against the Blackhawks.
