David Gustafsson
Pittsburgh Penguins Center
A hundred and forty-nine games, twenty points, and none of them last season.

No games in 2025-26. The season above is the last one he played, and everything on this page should be read with that gap in it.
2024-25
Two goals and four assists in 36 games, plus-10, at 8:59 a night with seven penalty minutes. He did not appear in the NHL last season.
The Finesse Game
Thirty shots on goal in 36 games and two goals. Twenty points in 149 career games, which is a fourth-line checking rate and not a generous one.
There is nothing to describe offensively and there never has been.
The Physical Game
Six foot two, 196, and he plays a straightforward defensive game — wins faceoffs, forechecks, kills penalties. Seven penalty minutes in 36 games.
The Intangibles
There is no five-on-five record for him in this edition because there was no season to draw one from.
He is 26, a second-round pick in 2018, and has spent seven professional seasons oscillating between the American League and a fourth-line job in Winnipeg.
Pittsburgh signs him as organisational depth behind Crosby, Malkin, Novak, Dewar and Lizotte. The page exists because he is on the list. Ask again if he plays thirty games.
