Gibson will be the starting goalie for Tuesday night's matchup with Edmonton, Oilers' play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson was atrocious in his last two starts, allowing seven goals on only 36 shots for a woeful .806 save percentage. The Oilers are averaging 2.81 goals scored per game, but the silver lining is that Gibson is 3-0 with a .974 save percentage in his career against them, so hopefully he can turn it around at home in Anaheim.

Gibson was yanked from Saturday's game against the Predators after giving up four goals on 18 shots.
EDGE Analysis
Not a good night for Gibson, who had struggled in his previous appearance against Columbus. The 23-year-old falls to 5-5-3 on the season with a 2.68 GAA and .902 save percentage. He's been good at times this year, but his inconsistency is a tad concerning. Gibson is the go-to-guy in Anaheim, however, so look for the Ducks to keep him rolling and count on him to bounce back.

Gibson will patrol the blue paint for Saturday's matchup in Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson's play has been good, albeit inconsistent, for much of the season, as he now sports a .909 save percentage and a healthy 2.28 GAA to go with his five wins. After getting a game off, he'll look to bounce back from a 15-save overtime loss last time out against a Predators team that is averaging 2.6 goals per game.

Gibson saved just 15 of 18 shots during an overtime loss to the Blue Jackets on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The underwhelming outing continued Gibson's trend of inconsistent starts thus far. He's facing an average of just 25.8 shots per game, so his save percentage takes a hit whenever he allows more than two goals. Additionally, despite a bright future and oodles of talent, this is Gibson's first season as the clear-cut No. 1 goalie in Anaheim. Expect more peaks and valleys throughout the year, but Gibson is a universal fantasy own and mid-tier option in most settings.

Gibson will start between the pipes in Wednesday's road game against the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson was sharp in his last outing, stopping 21 of 22 shots en route to a 5-1 win over the Coyotes on Friday. The American netminder will look to stay hot in a tough road matchup with a Blue Jackets squad averaging 4.20 goals per game at home this season, second in the NHL.

Gibson saved 21 of 22 shots during a win against Arizona on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
It's been an inconsistent start to the season for Gibson, but this was an excellent rebound showing after being run from the crease in his previous outing. He entered Friday's game with a career .919 save percentage and now owns a .914 mark this year. Further encouraging, Gibson has allowed two goals or fewer in seven of his past nine starts. Expect some hiccups going forward, but if you're somewhat selective with his starts, Gibson is a solid No. 2 goalie option for your virtual club.

Gibson has been confirmed to start Friday's game against the Coyotes, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
This just affirms what we expected earlier in the day. Gibson will look to rebound from his worst start of the season when he allowed five goals on 34 shots against the Penguins on Wednesday.

Gibson was first off the ice in Friday's morning skate, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports. This makes him the expected home goalie against the Coyotes for the evening's contest.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson went on back-to-back nights to kick off the month of November, and there's been no shortage of speculation that backup Jonathan Bernier would be ready to start in the upcoming contest after working past an upper-body injury. We'd wait for official confirmation that Gibson is starting Friday -- that's likely to arrive closer to pregame warm-ups.

Gibson allowed five goals on 34 shots and was pulled during the third period of Wednesday's game against Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson has been inconsistent to start 2016-17 and owns a mediocre .911 save percentage and 2.58 goals against average. However, those numbers have been inflated by a few poor outings -- Wednesday's included. While there is oodles of potential and a bright future likely awaits Gibson, it just isn't time to don him a star or high-end fantasy option just yet. It would probably be wise to be a little selective with his opponents until he shows more game-to-game consistency, too.

Gibson will be back in goal against Pittsburgh on Wednesday, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson gets the starting nod in his second back-to-back of the year. In fact, the 23-year-old was on the bench just once this season for the Ducks previous matchup with the Penguins. The netminder has been decent in his nine appearances, as he has posted a 4-3-2 record that includes one shutout and a .919 save percentage. Pittsburgh is undefeated since the return of captain Sidney Crosby and they will look to test Gibson early, especially on the power play, where they are converting at 44.4 percent with Crosby in the lineup.
