Making road trip Gustavsson (hip) will travel with the Wild during the team's upcoming three-game road trip, per Joe Smith of The Athletic.

Impact Gustavsson has been sidelined since the start of the campaign due to the hip procedure he underwent in the offseason. His inclusion for the team's upcoming road trip is a sign that he hasn't had any major setbacks since being ruled out for at least another month in mid-October. His status will be monitored closely, and once he's able to return, he'll likely see somewhat frequent appearances in net, but he'll be behind Jesper Wallstedt on the depth chart.

Likely out at least another month Head coach John Hynes said Sunday that Gustavsson (hip) is slated to miss at least another month, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Gustavsson was moved to long-term injured reserve earlier in October, so Sunday's update isn't particularly surprising. The 28-year-old netminder recently began skating on his own, but he still has several steps to take in his recovery before he's in the mix to return to game action. Jesper Wallstedt and Calvin Pickard should continue to handle goaltending duties in Gustavsson's absence.

Shifts to long-term injured reserve Gustavsson (hip) was placed on long-term injured reserve Friday.

Impact Gustavsson was placed on injured reserve ahead of the regular season following offseason hip surgery, and he isn't expected to return until around early November. As a result, it isn't very surprising to see him shift to long-term injured reserve, and the move shouldn't impact his return timetable. Jesper Wallstedt should continue to serve as Minnesota's No. 1 netminder in Gustavsson's absence.

OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to injured reserve Gustavsson (hip) was placed on injured reserve Monday, according to Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News.

Impact Gustavsson is expected to be out until at least early November. He posted a 28-15-6 record with two shutouts, a 2.69 GAA and a .903 save percentage in 50 appearances for Minnesota during the 2025-26 regular season. Once he returns, Gustavsson will be in the mix for starts with Jesper Wallstedt.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Expected back in November Gustavsson (hip) is expected to return around early November, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports Friday.

Impact This is the first timeline that's been provided regarding Gustavsson's recovery. It also means he'll be missing about a month to begin the campaign. In Gustavsson's absence, expect Jesper Wallstedt to get a heavy workload while Calvin Pickard mixes in as the backup.

SEPTEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Still recovering from offseason surgery Gustavsson is still recovering from his offseason surgery ahead of training camp, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Friday.

Impact While Gustavsson's teammates have moved past their injuries from late in the 2025-26 campaign, the netminder is still recovering from the procedure he underwent early in the offseason. The 28-year-old's recovery timetable isn't yet clear, and whether he'll be available for preseason action or the start of the regular season remains to be seen. Gustavsson lost out on playing time to Jesper Wallstedt late in the 2025-26 season, and Wallstedt will presumably have increased opportunities to earn the No. 1 goaltending job if Gustavsson is sidelined during camp, while Calvin Pickard will be available as a depth option.

Wild goalie Filip Gustavsson will have offseason hip surgery that complicates his readiness for camp

Set for offseason surgery Gustavsson will undergo hip surgery in the offseason, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports Monday.

Impact According to general manager Bill Guerin, Gustavsson's availability for the start of the 2026-27 season won't be known until after his procedure. On top of that concern for fantasy managers, the fact that the 27-year-old backstop was effectively benched for the postseason in favor of Jesper Wallstedt will raise questions about who is the No. 1 option heading into next season.

Takes loss in Game 2 Gustavsson stopped 18 of 22 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 2.

Impact Gustavsson went into the playoff cold, and that led to him watching from the bench for the first seven games of the postseason. He didn't make a great impression in this contest, which led to the Wild falling behind 2-0 in the series. Gustavsson went 28-15-6 with a 2.69 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 50 regular-season contests, so he can play better than he's shown lately, though his work at the Olympics may have added some fatigue. With both Gustavsson and Jesper Wallstedt coming off ugly losses, it's unclear who the Wild will turn to in Game 3 on home ice Saturday.
