It was the third shutout of the season and the ninth in his NHL career for Gustavsson, who saved all 21 shots on goal in tonight's meeting.
It was a pretty calm evening. Maybe they had a slightly tougher evening than usual, and we played very good defensively and blocked many shots, summarized the 26-year-old from Skellefteå afterwards.
Teammate Joel Eriksson Ek scored 2–0 in the second period, while Norwegian Mats Zuccarello became a two-goal scorer. Jonas Brodin was credited with an assist, while Austrian Marco Rossi was involved in all goals with four assists.
Another Swedish star who shone tonight was Detroit's Lucas Raymond, who scored a goal and two assists when Winnipeg was defeated 4–2.
It's a big win, no doubt, says Raymond after the match.
I feel that we've been playing really good hockey lately and we continued that tonight, he continues.
Detroit, which had a tough start to the season, has now won four matches in a row.
