How Wild goaltender Filip Gustavsson turned himself into a star

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:54:19 GMT

Looking back on it now, it’s fitting that Filip Gustavsson found out he was traded as he was taking out the trash.They say one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, after all, and that’s exactly what the 24-year-old Swede has proven to be for the Wild.Though the Wild haven’t named their starting goaltender for Game 1 of the upcoming opening round of the NHL playoffs, it’s a good bet that Gustavsson will be in net. He has been a godsend this season with a 23-9-7 record, a 2.10 goals-against average, and a .931 save percentage.Not bad considering Gustavsson entered this season with fewer than 25 starts under his belt. He perfectly summed up his unexpected rise to stardom a few weeks ago, saying, “It’s been a helluva year.”Indeed. All because of a trade between the Wild and the Ottawa Senators on July 12, 2022 that barely moved the needle at the time.The timing of everything came as a surprise to Gustavsson. He remembers playing ca...
