Guarding cage Tuesday Gustavsson will be in goal on the road versus the Ducks on Tuesday, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gustavsson will be in the crease for the first time since March 8 versus Colorado, a stretch of four games on the bench. The 25-year-old netminder will take the first game of the Wild's back-to-back, which means veteran Marc-Andre Fleury will get the starting nod for Wednesday's road clash with the Kings.

Tough OT loss in Colorado Gustavsson turned aside 38 shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Artturi Lehkonen got free in front of the Minnesota net just 42 seconds into the first period to open the scoring, but Gustavsson was brilliant for more than 60 minutes after that to earn a point for the Wild. There wasn't much the netminder could do on the OT winner though, as Valeri Nichushkin corralled a bouncing puck on an Avs power play and slotted it inside the post from Gustavsson's doorstep. Since returning from a lower-body injury in mid-January, the 25-year-old goalie has struggled to find his form with any consistency, going 7-6-2 over 16 outings with a 3.70 GAA and .883 save percentage.

Win so close, but yet so far Gustavsson made 25 saves in a 3-2 overtime loss to Buffalo on Saturday.

Impact The Wild came so close to a win -- Dylan Cozens tied the game with 37 seconds left with his goalie pulled for an extra attacker. And Gustavsson didn't have much of a chance on a powerful one-timer by Henri Jokiharju in the extra frame that sealed the win. Gustavsson sports a soft 3.18 GAA and .897 save percentage overall, but had won two straight games (.921 save percentage) coming into the contest. The Wild are only four points from a Wild Card spot, so the next couple weeks will tell the tale on their season. And Gustavsson will need to step up.

Gustavsson is at 15-13-2 with a 3.19 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 31 appearances this season. The Wild wrap up a two-game road trip in Arizona on Wednesday.

Between pipes Monday Gustavsson will tend the twine on the road against Vegas on Monday, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact Gustavsson went 4-3-0 with a 3.42 GAA in his last seven outings and has seemingly reclaimed the starting job in Minnesota. Still, if the 25-year-old netminder does slip up at all, the team almost certainly won't hesitate to turn to veteran Marc-Andre Fleury.

The 25-year-old improved to 14-13-2 with a 3.19 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 30 appearances this season.
