3 years agoChicago Blackhawks defenseman Erik Gustafsson did not play a lot on Friday night but managed to assist on two of Chicago's three goals. In the 6-3 loss, Gustafsson played just 13:52 but did see 4:23 of power-play time. Part of the reason for his decreased ice time was a common theme among the Chicago Blackhawks; the defenders were not defending well. Gustafsson was on the ice for a few of those odd-man rushes allowed. Even the blue-liner felt collectively defensive assignments were squandered. Gustafsson will continue to see lesser amounts of ice time.--Chris Wassel - RotoBaller
