Gibson will start between the pipes in Friday's Game 1 of the Western Conference finals against the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson enters this series sporting a sub-par .908 save percentage through 11 playoff games, the worst among the four remaining goalies hoping to lead their teams to the Stanley Cup Finals. The 23-year-old netminder was pretty shaky in the Ducks' second-round matchup with the Oilers, allowing at least three goals in five of seven games. He'll hope to fare better in another tough matchup with a Nashville squad that's averaged 2.80 goals per game this postseason.
