Power-play monster Saturday Gustafsson delivered three assists in a 7-1 win over Montreal on Saturday.

Impact All three came on the power play. Gustafsson played 19:42, including 4:10 with the man advantage, in a game where both Morgan Rielly and T.J. Brodie sat out due to rest. Gustafsson was brought into Toronto to help run the power play if Rielly ever went down, but his ice time may be limited otherwise. Nice night, though.

Rejoining team Tuesday Gustafsson (personal) will be back with the team Tuesday and will take the warmup but won't play versus Columbus, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact Gustafsson was a healthy scratch a handful of times with the Leafs, so this shouldn't come as a complete surprise. In his last eight contests, the 31-year-old blueliner has tallied just one assist and seven shots despite averaging 1:29 of ice time with the man advantage. Barring any setbacks, Gustafsson will likely suit up versus the Bruins on Thursday, though he hasn't been officially confirmed as playing.

Still away from team Gustafsson (personal) is still away from the team, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

Impact Gustafsson has missed the past two games after traveling back to Washington for a personal matter. He is poised to miss another Wednesday against Florida. Gustafsson has one assist, seven shots on goal and six blocked shots in eight outings with the Leafs since being acquired from the Capitals.

Not playing Saturday Gustafsson is not with the Maple Leafs on Saturday and won't play against the Hurricanes as he is dealing with a personal matter, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact Gustafsson went to Washington for a family matter. He was dealt from the Capitals at the trade deadline. Gustafsson has an assist in eight games with the Maple Leafs after scoring seven goals and adding 31 helpers in 61 games with Washington before the trade.

Gets first point with new team Gustafsson recorded an assist in Friday's 5-2 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact This was the the first point in six games for Gustafsson following his trade from the Capitals. The journeyman's best season was in 2018-19, when he dropped 60 points in 79 games for the Blackhawks, but the constant shuffling between teams has made it tough for him to reach new heights offensively. Worse yet, his TOI has dropped to 14:06 since being traded to Toronto after he registered 20:22 TOI and a 38-point output with the Caps.

Second on team in assists Gustavsson picked up three assists in a 6-3 loss to Florida on Thursday.

Impact Gustafsson now has 26 assists, second to Evgeni Kuznetsov (36) on the Capitals. He's having the best season of his career since his 60-point season in Chicago in 2018-19. Gustafsson has flaws in his on-ice game, but his fantasy production can be exceptional when he's given the opportunity to be the top offensive option. He's on a near 50-point pace right now and will continue to play maestro for the Caps' offense until John Carlson (face) returns later in the season.
