Playing career

[edit]

Amateur

[edit]

After playing minor hockey for the Chicago Fury in the Tier 1 Elite Hockey League (T1EHL), Gust was drafted 99th overall by the Fargo Force in the seventh round of the 2011 United States Hockey League (USHL) Entry Draft.[1]

On November 4, 2011, Gust made his USHL debut in a 4–2 win against the Lincoln Stars.[2] He scored his first USHL goal in a 5–3 loss against the Indiana Ice on November 26, 2011, and finished his debut season with 14 goals and 16 assists in 43 games played.[3] In his sophomore season for the Force, he played in 64 games scoring 21 goals and 28 assists en route to a Clark Cup Final appearance.[4]

Gust played collegiate hockey for the Ohio State Buckeyes in the Big Ten Conference from 2013 to 2017, following the footsteps of his older sister, Kara.[5] During his rookie season, he appeared in 26 games, scoring 6 goals and 4 assists. He played in 25 games with three goals and five assists in his sophomore season and was an Academic All-Big Ten honoree. He improved in his junior season, playing in a career-high 36 games and scoring 11 goals and 25 points, and was named to his second Academic All-Big Ten selection.[6] Before his senior season, Gust was named as an alternate captain for the Buckeyes; he played in 39 games with 18 points and 23 assists and was named to the Big Ten All-Tournament Team.[7][8]

Professional

[edit]

After graduating from Ohio State University, on May 2, 2017, Gust signed with the Bakersfield Condors to a one-year AHL contract.[9] On October 12, 2017, he made his professional hockey league debut in a 5–4 win against the San Antonio Rampage, scoring two goals.[10] He ultimately appeared in 53 games scoring 13 goals and 11 assists, leading the Condors in rookie scoring. On September 4, 2018, he re-signed with the Condors to a one-year AHL contract.[11] Overall, he appeared in 59 games, scoring 18 goals and 15 assists that season.

Prior to the start of the 2019–20 AHL season, he signed with the Charlotte Checkers to a one-year AHL contract, recording 11 goals and 20 assists in 60 games played.[12] On October 16, 2020, the Carolina Hurricanes signed Gust to a one-year, two-way contract.[13] He appeared in 16 games, recording two goals and two assists for the Hurricanes' AHL affiliate, the Chicago Wolves.[1]

Gust re-signed with the Wolves to a one-year AHL contract before the start of the 2021–22 AHL season.[14]

On July 22, 2022, Gust was signed as a free agent to a one-year contract in joining his fourth AHL club, the Rockford IceHogs, affiliate to the Chicago Blackhawks.[15] In the following 2022–23 season, Gust immediately emerged as an offensive presence with the IceHogs, leading the team in scoring with 50 points through 51 games before he was signed to a two-year, two-way contract with the Chicago Blackhawks and immediately recalled to the NHL on February 23, 2023.[16] In his NHL debut with the Blackhawks, Gust scored his first career NHL goal on his first shift during a 4–3 shootout victory over the San Jose Sharks on February 25.[17]
