Gibson took part in Thursday's practice, Curtis Zupke of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

There's still no timetable for Gibson's return to game action, but his participation in Thursday's practice is clearly a step in the right direction. The American netminder hasn't played in nearly two weeks, so he'll likely need to log several full practices before making his next start in goal, but it appears his return to the lineup may not be too far off.
