Gustavsson stopped 21 of 23 shots (.913 SV%) for his first loss in three starts as he was defeated by St. Louis in his previous start.

With Nicklas Backstrom and Tom Wilson making their season debuts on Sunday, Aube-Kubel and Anthony Mantha will be healthy scratches vs. the Blue Jackets. Aube-Kubel has scored in back-to-back games (his first goals of the season) but is the victim of a numbers game in Washington.

The Minnesota Wild have recalled Zane McIntyre after it was announced Filip Gustavsson was feeling under the weather Friday. The Wilds' backup has been the better of their two goalies, with his 9-5-1 record, 2.25 GAA and .924 SV% and will hopefully not miss anytime due to illness.
