Gibbons produced two goals on six shots through nine games this month.

EDGE Analysis

Gibbons, who also added a helper over that span, continues to serve in a bottom-six capacity for the Ducks. He racked up 26 points (12 goals, 14 assists) to complement a plus-10 rating with the Ducks last season, and few hockey pundits could have foreseen Gibbons averaging about four fewer minutes per game with Anaheim. But that's the reality of the situation, despite the fourth-year pivot playing for a club that's been ravaged by injuries up front.

Gibbons has yet to find the back of the net this season in 28 appearances.

EDGE Analysis

Gibbons has been in and out of the lineup all year and is averaging just 10:26 of ice time, so it shouldn't come as a shock to see him struggling to produce. After setting career highs in goals (12), assists (14) and games played last year (59), the center was likely hoping to get more opportunities with the Ducks this season. Until he can take on a bigger role with the club, the Massachusetts native won't offer more than low-end fantasy value.

Gibbons (hand) was a healthy scratch in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

This was an expected move and although Gibbons has been cleared to return to action, he'll constantly be battling for a spot in Anaheim's bottom six. Last season, he tallied 26 points in 59 games with New Jersey.

Gibbons (hand) has been cleared for Opening Night against the Sharks, Mike Coppinger of the San Diego Union-Tirbune reports. However, he's not projected to be in the lineup for the contest and will likely serve as a healthy scratch instead.

EDGE Analysis

Gibbons recorded a surprising 26 points -- 12 goals and 14 assists -- over 59 contests for the Devils last season, but it looks as though he will sit down for the Opening Night tilt. He should remain in the mix to fill out the Ducks' bottom-six skaters this season, but a drop in ice time and production wouldn't be surprising.

Gibbons (hand) will be reevaluated Tuesday, Elliott Teaford of the Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gibbons has been bothered by swelling to his left hand since blocking a shot in a game against the Kings last Wednesday. We expect that the Ducks will offer a more concrete timeline for the left-shooting winger's return following his next checkup Tuesday.

Gibbons is dealing with swelling in his hand, which stems from a blocked shot in Wednesday's home game against the Kings,

EDGE Analysis

According to this latest report, Gibbons' hand is so swollen that the team cannot do any comprehensive tests until the swelling subsides. The pivot broke out with the Devils last season, adding 12 goals, 26 points and a plus-10 rating over 59 games. Gibbons signed a one-year, $1 million deal with Anaheim in July, which seems like an incredible value assuming he can shake off the injury and continue making strides in his fourth year at the top level.

Gibbons signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Ducks on Monday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

This seems like a really good value for the Ducks. Gibbons netted 12 goals and 26 points in just 59 games for the Devils last season, and while he's best served in a penalty-killing capacity, the centerman boasts a terrific shot and is known as a clutch performer. Don't expect him to play top-six minutes in Anaheim, but know that Gibbons has plenty of upside.

Gibbons will play for Team USA at the upcoming IIHF World Championships in Denmark, USA Hockey reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gibbons pieced together his best NHL campaign in 2017-18, notching 26 points -- 12 goals and 14 assists -- and a plus-10 rating over 59 contests with the Devils. As a result, the 30-year-old has earned a bid to play for Team USA and could enter the free agent market this offseason with a number of suitors willing to give him another shot.

Gibbons will be a healthy scratch against the Canadiens on Sunday, Devils beat writer Amanda Stein reports.

EDGE Analysis

It looks like the Devils want to get rookie Jesper Bratt into the fold after he'd watched the past two games from the press box. Gibbons has been a solid low-end fantasy winger based on his output of 26 even-strength points (12 goals, 14 assists) through 56 games, but the obvious downside is that he's a candidate to be scratched every now and then.

Gibbons connected on a pair of passes to set up teammates for goals in an 8-3 rout of the Golden Knights on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gibbons hasn't been a shooter by any means, and this was no exception. Gibbons hasn't scored a goal since Dec. 12, meaning that he's a one-shot player right now. But at 25 points on the year, he's not even doing that consistently well this season. You can likely find many more reliable options elsewhere.
