Instead, the Swedish goalie turned in one of his best performances to date this season in the Wild’s first of two NHL Global Series games, a 2-1 shootout loss to Ottawa on Saturday at Avicii Arena.“It was nerve-wracking at first,” he said. “A lot of people from my family are watching, a lot of Swedish people wanted to see all the NHL players. You take a good pride in that and that makes you want to perform even better.”Gustavsson made 30 stops in the loss. The one goal he gave up in regulation came as the Wild changed lines.It was a mark of progress for Gustavsson, who had given up at least three goals in each of his starts except the first of the season.“Gus was real good, and when he had to be, he was there,” Wild coach Dean Evason said....RPI researchers 3D-print hair follicles in lab grown skin
