Gustavsson Could Be Cleared On November 17th, McCarron Questionable For Tonight
Wild goaltender Filip Gustavsson has his next doctor’s appointment on November 17th and if all goes well there, he could be cleared to return at that time, relays team broadcaster Joe O’Donnell (Twitter link). The 28-year-old has yet to play this season since undergoing offseason hip surgery. Gustavsson has made at least 43 starts in each of the last three years but he’ll be hard-pressed to get there this season between this injury and the emergence of Jesper Wallstedt. Even so, with Gustavsson eventually taking Calvin Pickard’s place on the roster, Minnesota could be back to having a high-end goalie tandem within the next few weeks.
