A somewhat undersized defenseman that plays a strong two-way game. Gustafsson is a very mobile player, with good acceleration and top speed. He handles the puck with ease and has above average hockey sense. Offensively, he stands out with his passes and coolness. Defensively, he has good timing and solves tricky situations with his on-ice vision. Very good attitude. (EP 2014)
