Filip Gustavsson to miss NHL season opener with Minnesota Wild

aftonbladet.se (Swedish)

Swedish goaltender Filip Gustavsson will miss the start of the NHL season with the Minnesota Wild due to ongoing recovery from hip surgery. He will also skip training camp. Gustavsson, 28, declined the World Championship to undergo the procedure after playing through significant pain last season. General Manager Bill Guerin confirmed he is still rehabilitating and won't be ready for the first weeks of the campaign. The injury led to Jesper Wallstedt taking over as starting goalie late last season. This is the first year of Gustavsson's five-year contract, with Calvin Pickard also on the roster. The NHL season begins September 29.
