During his three years with the Wild, Gustavsson hasn’t had any postseason success. He started one game two years ago before missing the playoffs in 2023-24.

Gustavsson started 5 games, winning 2 games in 2023 and had the best goalie performance for the Wild since Talbot in 2021(who went 3-4 with a .923 save percentage).

Against a top 8 offense, Gus posted a .921 save percentage in his 5 games while the team in front of him was outplayed badly in stretches, partially due to injuries to important Wild players. Fleury got shelled for 7 goals against(.811 save percentage) in his only appearance that playoffs.

He started that playoffs with a thrilling 3-2 OT win, and won his next start before Dallas really took control of the series. The Wild only scored 3 total goals in the final 3 games of the series. The officials also didn't do any favors for the Wild in that one, but if the Wild were healthy, it likely could have been a better series.
