2024 Fantasy Outlook
Throughout the last five seasons, Gustafsson has played in 113 regular-season contests in which he's garnered four goals, 10 assists and 77 shots on net while averaging just 8:45 of ice time per game. Despite his limited role, the natural center will remain with Winnipeg after signing a two-year, $1.67 million deal with the Jets this offseason. While the 24-year-old Swede could still develop his game further, he is unlikely to turn into anything more than a depth option at this point. As such, fantasy managers probably don't need to track his availability this upcoming season. Read Past Outlooks

Gustafsson (lower body) won't be in the lineup Sunday versus Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Gustafsson will miss his third straight contest to begin the 2024-25 campaign. Winnipeg will be off until Friday against San Jose, giving him additional time to recover, but Gustafsson could serve as a healthy scratch once he is available to return.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2020
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.
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.

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.
