2023 Fantasy Outlook
Gustafsson got a regular taste of NHL time last year, but he was limited to six assists in 46 contests while averaging 10:06 of ice time per game. Neither physical nor a proven scorer, it's tough to be optimistic even though he's still just 23 years old. At best, Gustafsson seems destined for a bottom-six role, though he's a natural center, which has become a position of uncertainty -- if not outright weakness -- for the 2023-24 Jets. With just seven points in 74 career outings, most fantasy managers can safely leave him on the draft board. Read Past Outlooks

Snaps lengthy drought
CWinnipeg Jets
April 11, 2024
Gustafsson scored a goal on three shots and levied four hits in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Stars.
ANALYSIS
Gustafsson hadn't posted a point since Dec. 20, and his last goal was Oct. 30. He missed time in that span with a lower-body injury, but he's also struggled to crack the Jets' lineup consistently when healthy. The 24-year-old has three goals, two assists, 25 shots on net and 28 hits through 37 outings in a bottom-six role this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to play
CWinnipeg Jets
April 17, 2024
Gustafsson is expected to be in the lineup for Thursday's regular-season finale against Vancouver, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Gustafsson has played in just three of the Jets' last 12 contests, serving primarily as a healthy scratch of late. Even with the lower-body injury to Morgan Barron, the inclusion of Gustafsson and others in the lineup Thursday would seem to indicate coach Rick Bowness is preparing to rest some of Winnipeg's stars ahead of the playoffs.

2020 Fantasy Outlook
Gustafsson had one goal in 22 games in 2019-20, his first year in NHL. He was mostly an injury replacement for Bryan Little, but lost the role by early December. Gustafsson also had seven points in 13 outings with AHL Manitoba. The second-round pick from 2018 doesn't have a notorious scoring record back in his native Sweden -- it's most likely he ends up as a defensive-minded forward when he becomes an NHL regular. The Jets are deep enough down the middle to send Gustafsson to the minors for more experience in 2020-21, so there's no reason for fantasy managers to roster him early in the year.
