Johan Gustafsson (born 28 February 1992) is a Swedish professional ice hockey goaltender who is currently an unrestricted free agent.
Playing career
Johan played for Västerås HK in the 2010–11 season,[1] with Luleå HF for the next two seasons[2] and has also played 3 SHL games with Färjestad BK. He was drafted 159th overall by the Minnesota Wild in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.
After an SHL rookie season where Gustafsson had five shutouts in his first 20 games with Luleå, he was nominated for the 2011–12 SHL Rookie of the Year award.[3]
Approaching the deadline to retain Gustafsson's rights, the Wild signed Gustafsson to a three-year, entry-level contract in May 2012.[4] He was returned on loan to Luleå for the first year of his contract. In his first North American season, Gustafsson was assigned to American Hockey League affiliate, the Iowa Wild.
Over the duration of his tenure with the Wild, Gustafsson was recalled to the NHL; however, he never appeared in a game.
On May 4, 2015, as an impending restricted free agent, Gustafsson opted to return to his native Sweden and played for Frölunda HC of the SHL.[5][6]
After claiming his second Le Mat Trophy in his four year tenure with Frölunda HC, Gustafsson left the club at the conclusion of his contract upon the end of the 2018–19 Championship-winning season.
As a free agent, Gustafsson left Sweden, signing a one-year deal with newly crowned DEL champions, Adler Mannheim, on May 7, 2019.[7]
In 2020-21, he signed with Rögle BK of the SHL, splitting starts with Christoffer Rifalk as they won a SHL Silver Medal.
For the next two seasons, Gustafsson started for Västerås IK of HockeyAllsvenskan.
In December 2023, Gustafsson was signed to Pelicans of Liiga to serve as the backup for Jasper Patrikainen after the transfer of Jussi Olkinuora before the arrival of Niklas Kokko bumped him to 3rd string goaltender.[8]
