Red Wings' Erik Gustafsson: Facing extended absence
Gustafsson (undisclosed) is expected to miss an extended period of time, the Red Wings announced Friday, though an official timeline hasn't been determined.
Gustafsson's prognosis, limited though it may be, would explain why the team brought up Brogan Rafferty from the minors to provide some extra depth. In Gustafsson's absence, William Lagesson figures to slot into the third pairing, though he'll find himself relegated to the press box again once Jeff Petry (undisclosed) is cleared to play.

Red Wings' Erik Gustafsson: Missing from practice
Gustafsson wasn't on the ice for Thursday's practice session after suffering an undisclosed injury versus Washington on Tuesday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Gustafsson managed just 13:34 of ice time against the Caps before being forced to exit the game due to his undisclosed injury. The 33-year-old defenseman was mired in a 26-game goal drought during which he generated a mere 26 shots while recording seven helpers. With extra time off, Gustafsson could still be an option to play in Saturday's clash with Vegas.

Red Wings' Erik Gustafsson: Grabs helper in Sunday's win
Gustafsson logged an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Golden Knights.
Gustafsson ended a six-game point drought with the helper. The 33-year-old blueliner has run streaky over the last couple of months, but the dry spells tend to last much longer than his productive runs. Overall, he has 18 points, 67 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and a minus-17 rating through 59 appearances.

Red Wings' Erik Gustafsson: Picks up assist
Gustafsson logged an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Wild.
Gustafsson endured a 12-game point drought from Jan. 18 to Feb. 22, but he's now earned an assist in consecutive contests. The 32-year-old blueliner is seeing power-play time, so his offense should bounce back to some extent over the stretch run, though he is limited to third-pairing minutes at even strength. Gustafsson has 15 points, 58 shots on net, 36 blocked shots and a minus-16 rating through 50 outings this season.

Red Wings' Erik Gustafsson: Ends slump with helper
Gustafsson notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Ducks.
Gustafsson put an end to his 12-game slump with the helper. Prior to that dry spell, he racked up two goals and six assists over a nine-game span, so he could tap into a bit more offense moving forward. For the season, the blueliner has been fairly limited on offense with 14 points (eight on the power play), 55 shots on net and a minus-17 rating across 49 appearances.

Red Wings' Erik Gustafsson: Goes cold on offense
Gustafsson went an 11th straight game without a point in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Lightning.
Gustafsson is minus-7 in that span while seeing time on the third pairing and second power-play unit. The Red Wings' offense has leaned more heavily on the team's top players under head coach Todd McLellan, leaving little chance for Gustafsson to get involved on offense. The veteran blueliner has 13 points, a minus-16 rating, 53 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and 20 PIM through 47 outings this season.

Red Wings' Erik Gustafsson: Two points in victory
Gustafsson potted a power-play goal and added a helper Sunday in a 6-2 win over Seattle.
Gustafsson registered the primary assist on Patrick Kane's first-period goal, and the defenseman netted his first power-play marker of the season early in the middle frame. This was Gustafsson's first multi-point effort in 2024-25. He has two goals through five games in January after failing to find the back of the net through the first three months of the season. The left-shot blueliner appears to have cemented his place in the lineup after being a periodic healthy scratch up until Dec. 5. He's chipped in two goals and 11 points through 34 appearances.

Red Wings' Erik Gustafsson: Pockets helper Friday
Gustafsson logged an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.
Gustafsson set up Andrew Copp's third-period tally. The helper was Gustafsson's fourth point over his last six games, though he had been held off the scoresheet in the previous two contests. The 32-year-old has been scratched just once since the start of December, and it hasn't happened since Todd McLellan replaced Derek Lalonde as head coach. Gustafsson is at nine points, 40 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 33 appearances in a bottom-four role.

Red Wings' Erik Gustafsson: Tallies in Thursday's win
Gustafsson scored a goal in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Blue Jackets.
Gustafsson has a goal and two assists during his three-game point streak, which follows a seven-game slump. The 32-year-old defenseman hasn't been scratched since Dec. 5, and he's holding down a spot on the third pairing and second power-play unit. The Swedish blueliner has eight points, 37 shots on net, 21 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a minus-11 rating through 30 appearances.

Red Wings' Erik Gustafsson: Hands out power-play assist
Gustafsson produced a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Capitals.
Gustafsson set up Patrick Kane's tally in the first period. The helper ended a seven-game slump for Gustafsson, who has struggled to do much on offense this season. The 32-year-old defenseman has six helpers, 36 shots on net, 21 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a minus-12 rating over 28 appearances. He's not a lock to be in the lineup, but he regularly sees time on the second power-play unit when he plays, which is where he's earned four of his six assists this season.

Red Wings' Erik Gustafsson: Pockets helper in shootout win
Gustafsson notched an assist and went minus-2 in Monday's 6-5 shootout win over the Sabres.
Gustafsson has two helpers over four appearances in December. He's been scratched once this month after spending the last three games of November in the press box as well. The 32-year-old now has five assists, 26 shots on net, 17 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 20 outings as a part-time option on the third pairing and second power-play unit.

Red Wings' Erik Gustafsson: Adds assist in overtime loss
Gustafsson notched an assist and two PIM in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canucks.
Gustafsson had been scratched for the previous three games, but he took Albert Johansson's spot in the lineup Sunday. Those two blueliners, along with Justin Holl, have regularly rotated in and out of the lineup. Gustafsson is at four assists, 23 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 17 appearances this season. His helper Sunday was his first even-strength point of the campaign.

Red Wings' Erik Gustafsson: Ends slump with power-play helper
Gustafsson recorded a power-play assist and two PIM in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Sharks.
Gustafsson put an 11-game slump to rest when he set up Marco Kasper's first-period tally. Gustafsson has played in a majority of games, though he was scratched twice during his dry spell and is far from a lock to play every contest. He has just three helpers with 22 shots on net, 12 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 14 outings. Gustafsson's main value is in power-play production -- he's earned all of his assists with the man advantage -- but he's been limited to the second unit for the better part of the last month, which reduces his opportunities to make an impact.

Red Wings' Erik Gustafsson: Notches power-play assist
Gustafsson registered a power-play assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and four PIM in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers.
Gustafsson has an assist in each of his two games this season, both coming on the power play. He's added five shots on net, three blocked shots and a minus-2 rating. Gustafsson has done the job he was signed for, but he may end up slipping out of the lineup once again, as Jeff Petry (upper body) was cleared to play Saturday versus the Predators after a three-game absence.

Red Wings' Erik Gustafsson: Grabs power-play helper
Gustafsson posted a power-play assist, three shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.
Gustafsson had to fill a larger role than expected in his Detroit debut, as Jeff Petry (upper body) left the game early. Gustafsson was signed by the Red Wings as a direct replacement for Shayne Gostisbehere -- a third-pairing option who can also run a power play. The 32-year-old Gustafsson had 31 points (nine on the power play) over 76 regular-season outings with the Rangers last season. If Petry misses time, Gustafsson may be pressed into a top-four role, though his defensive struggles could largely offset the extra opportunities he'd receive with more ice time.

Red Wings' Erik Gustafsson: Signs two-year deal
Gustafsson signed a two-year, $4 million contract with the Red Wings on Monday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet on Monday.
Gustafsson had six goals and 31 points in 76 regular-season games with the Rangers in 2023-24. The 32-year-old is likely to serve on either Detroit's second or third pairing, and he should also see some time on the second power-play unit.

Rangers' Erik Gustafsson: Deals assist in loss
Gustafsson posted an assist and three hits in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 4.
Gustafsson snapped a five-game point drought when he helped out on a Will Cuylle goal in the first period. Through eight playoff contests, Gustafsson has three assists, six shots on net, 16 hits, five blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. He remains in a third-pairing role, so a large uptick in offense is unlikely to happen for the 32-year-old.

Rangers' Erik Gustafsson: Provides helper in win
Gustafsson notched an assist, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in Monday's 4-0 win over the Senators.

The 32-year-old defenseman ends the regular season with 31 points, 93 shots on net, 66 blocked shots, 63 hits and a plus-3 rating over 76 appearances. He'll likely remain in a bottom-four role as a power-play specialist to begin the playoffs.
