Goalie Start
Filip Gustavsson will start Thursday vs. Vancouver.
After a horrendous start to the season, posting a wretched .864 SV% over a 10-game stretch (1-6-2) from October 14th to November 26th, Gustavsson has flipped a switch, coinciding with John Hynes taking over as head coach of the Wild. Gustavsson has won three straight contests, his first string of consecutive victories all season, allowing four goals combined, positing a .951 SV%. That said, Minnesota is a slight -101 road underdog against a Vancouver Canucks team that ranks first in the league offensively (3.88 GF / GP).
Benjamin Gleason has been recalled from Bakersfield (AHL).
Philip Broberg has been loaned to the Bakersfield Condors (AHL), prompting the Oilers to recall Gleason. Gleason has not played in the NHL since the 2018-19 season, a four-game stint with the Dallas Stars, scoring one point (0G / 1A). The undrafted 25-year-old has been successful in the AHL this season, scoring nine points (2G / 7A) and a +5 plus/minus in 14 games.
Oskar Olausson has been reassigned to the Colorado Eagles (AHL).
Despite being held without a point, Olausson was active in his season debut for the Avalanche, firing two shots and taking one hit. His reassignment to the Eagles (AHL) coincides with Jared Bednar announcing that Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, and Bowen Byram will all play tonight.
Line Change
Oskar Olausson will make his season debut Tuesday vs. Anaheim.

The 28th overall pick of the Avalanche in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft has eight points (5G / 3A) in 20 games with the Colorado Eagles of the AHL this season.
