Gibson stopped 32 shots in Friday's 6-0 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson kept things relatively close through the first 40 minutes, allowing only one goal in each of the first two periods, but the final frame was an utter disaster for the Ducks. The 30-year-old netminder has coughed up six goals in three straight starts, and his season has gone completely off the rails since he posted a shutout in Ottawa on Feb. 15 -- over his last eight outings, he's gone 2-4-1 with a ghastly 5.06 GAA and .851 save percentage.

Gibson is expected to start on the road against Winnipeg on Friday, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson will attempt to rebound after allowing 12 goals on 62 shots (.806 save percentage) over his past two contests. He's 13-22-2 with a 3.31 GAA and an .893 save percentage in 41 outings in 2023-24. Gibson might have a difficult time against the Jets, who are 19-10-3 on the road this year.

Gibson was ejected from Tuesday's game versus the Blackhawks after a line brawl in the third period.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson crossed the red line to scrap with Blackhawks goalie Petr Mrazek, which led to the ejection. Gibson stopped 20 of 26 shots in the game and was on track to take the loss with the Ducks down 6-2 at the time of his exit. He's now 13-22-2 with a 3.31 GAA and an .893 save percentage over 41 contests. It's unclear if Gibson will face any supplemental discipline for his actions.

Gibson will be in net Tuesday on the road against Chicago, per Alyson Lozoff of Bally Sports West.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson struggled in his last start Friday, allowing six goals on 36 shots in a 6-2 loss to Dallas. The 30-year-old has posted a .896 save percentage and a 13-21-2 record in 40 games played. He will have a favorable matchup against Chicago, which is dead last in goals per game at 2.11.

Gibson allowed six goals on 36 shots in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson couldn't do much Friday, as the Stars jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first period. The 30-year-old goalie hadn't played since Feb. 29, missing one game due to an illness and backing up in the other two in that span. He's down to 13-21-2 with a 3.22 GAA and an .896 save percentage through 40 appearances this season. Lukas Dostal has played well in recent games and may work his way into something closer to a timeshare as the Ducks play out the string on another lost season.

Gibson will get the starting nod at home versus Dallas on Friday, Alyson Lozoff of Bally Sports West reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson will be back in the crease after watching from the bench for the previous four contests, in part due to an illness. In his last five appearances, the backstop has posted a 2-1-1 record despite logging a sub-par 4.25 GAA and .871 save percentage. With the veteran back to 100 percent, Gibson should see the majority of the workload ahead of Lukas Dostal down the stretch.

Gibson (illness) will suit up as the backup goalie for Wednesday's game versus the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson missed Sunday's game versus the Canucks due to illness, and he'll get a little more rest before returning to the crease. Lukas Dostal is starting for the third straight game after a solid performance in a 2-1 loss to the Canucks.

Gibson (illness) will not be available Sunday against Vancouver.
EDGE Analysis

Gibson stopped 24 of 28 shots in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
The Sharks' top six and power play did plenty of damage, but the Ducks were up the task of matching it. Gibson ended February with three wins in seven appearances, allowing 22 goals in the month. For the season, the 30-year-old is at 13-20-2 with a 3.15 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 39 appearances. Those aren't great numbers, and the Ducks' trade of Ilya Lyubushkin to the Maple Leafs takes experience off the blue line, which could lead to Gibson facing more shots late in the season. The Ducks are at home Friday versus the Devils, with Lukas Dostal likely to start that contest.

Gibson will protect the road goal versus the Sharks on Thursday, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson is 2-1-1 with a 3.58 GAA and an .890 save percentage through six games in February. He'll have a good chance to get back in the win column against one of the weakest offenses in the league.
