Three games in the NHL last night. All three won by shutout.  All three won by the visiting team.   Two shutouts were by a score of 1-0.  Two rookie goaltenders made their NHL debut, one winning 3-0 while the other lost 1-0. In the final week of the regular season, most poolies pray for shutouts as in most leagues, they carry the most weight. Ilya Bryzgalov has been trying to find a home ever since last season's somewhat disastrous season in Philly. Bought out in the pre-season, "Breeze" landed with the Oilers briefly before shipped out to Minnesota where he has seemed to have found his game.  He blanked the Winnipeg Jets last night by stopping all 24 shots on goal to raise his record to 6-0-3.  The Jets started rookie Michael Hutchinson, who fared well in his debut facing only 17 SOG. With the Wild having injury prone starters in Backstrom & Harding, and with rookie Kuemper showing signs of inconsistency usually found in rookie net minders, the Wild just may have found their goaltender for next season. Karri Ramo and the Calgary Flames' 1-0 shutout of the New Jersey Devils dashed their hopes of making the playoffs.  The Devils desperately needed to win not only last night, but possibly all four of their remaining games to have a good shot at making the dance.  Flames D Mark Giordano put the dagger in with a power play goal just 23 seconds into the 3rd period and then Ramo turned aside the barrage of attacks from the Devils. Ever since his return from injury, Ramo has gone 5-3-0 and looks to be a solid #2 goalie heading into next season. Giordano has 46 points (career high) in 61 games played finally living up to the potential most poolies have sought for the last few years.  You should expect similar production from the 7-year veteran over the next few years. As if the Anaheim Ducks weren't deep enough in goaltending, rookie John Gibson took the NHL stage and backstopped the Ducks to a 3-0 victory over the Vancouver Canucks, turning aside all 18 SOG. Those in dynasty keeper leagues could o themselves a world of good by stashing this brilliant young net minder on their farm team as he is still a few years away.  The Ducks will probably go with Frederik Andersen next year, letting Hiller walk as a free agent, especially since they traded Viktor Fasth away at the trade deadline..

Gibson will make his NHL debut tonight vs. the Canucks. The 20-year-old is in his first full AHL season and has gone 21-17-4 with a 2.34 GAA and .919 SV%. He was a second-round pick (39th overall) in 2011 and is believed to be one of the beat goaltending prospects in the NHL right now. It will be exciting to see what he can do with his first ever NHL start tonight vs. Vancouver.

With Jonas Hiller back from his illness, the Ducks have reassigned Gibson to Norfolk. His NHL debut will have to wait as he heads back to the AHL were he is 11-9-3 with a 2.61 GAA and .915 SV% this season.

Gibson, 20, is in his first full season in the AHL and is having a strong campaign to this point. He is 11-9-3 with a 2.61 GAA and .915 SV%. He has been recalled because the Ducks want Frederik Andersen to get more starts. Gibson will serve as the Ducks' number-2 behind the scorching Jonas Hiller. Anaheim has a back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday, there is a chance that Gibson could make his NHL debut this weekend.

Gibson gives the Ducks added depth between the pipes. Drafted out of the USHL last year, he should be eligible to play in the AHL.
