Jonas Gustavsson (Swedish pronunciation: [²juːnas ²gɵstavˌsɔn]; born 24 October 1984) is a Swedish professional ice hockey goaltender currently playing for the Bakersfield Condors in the American Hockey League (AHL) while under contract to the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League (NHL). Gustavsson has previously played for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Detroit Red Wings, and the Boston Bruins.
Gustavsson started his professional career with AIK in 2002 and played with them until 2007. He then moved to Färjestads BK in the Elitserien. He was the top goalie in 2008–09, when he posted a 1.96 goals against average (GAA) and a save percentage of .932 in the regular season. In the playoffs, he bettered his statistics, posting a 1.03 GAA, a save percentage of .961 and five shutouts in 13 games. Having allowed just 14 goals in 13 playoff games, he led Färjestads BK to the league title, also being named the MVP of the playoffs in the process.
On 7 July 2009, Gustavsson ended weeks of speculation by signing a one-year contract for US $810,000 (plus a $90,000 signing bonus) with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
In an interview with the Toronto Sun, Gustavsson said, "I'm going to try to steal as many games from Vesa Toskala as I can, I'm a goalie and I want to play... I know the best goalie gets the ice time and if I play good I'm going to get the chance. We will be good teammates and try to push ourselves, but my goal is to be the number one goalie... For the most part, I like [the attention]. It doesn't matter what people say about me, I know if I play good or if I play bad... I like when lots of people are getting involved. In Toronto, everybody talks about hockey. I like to be in the heat."
