Gibson denied all 30 shots the Kings sent his way in Tuesday's 4-0 victory.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson and the Ducks had a few days to think over their rough outing against the Jackets last Friday, and they responded by flipping the script in a tough matchup against the Kings. Despite his inconsistencies in the early going, Gibson's 2.25 GAA and .919 save percentage check out for fantasy purposes, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him string some wins together now that Anaheim's offense is starting to get in gear.

Gibson was named the road starter for Tuesday's contest against the Kings, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson was first off the ice at morning skate Tuesday, which is the telling sign that he'll work between the pipes in the evening's contest. The 23-year-old backstop is coming off his worst start of the season, as he surrendered four goals on 32 shots to the Blue Jackets at home Friday.

Gibson allowed four first-period goals and saved 28 of 32 shots before being pulled with 9:47 remaining in Friday's game against Columbus.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson entered the start with an impressive .935 save percentage and 1.72 GAA through his previous five outings, but wasn't pretty Friday. The Blue Jackets crashed the net throughout the game, and the Anaheim offense couldn't narrow the gap after Gibson shut the door following his rough first period. The Ducks are off until Tuesday, so Gibson should receive the starting nod and try to rebound against the Kings.

Gibson will start between the pipes against Columbus on Friday, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Has allowed two or fewer goals in each of his last five starts, so Gibson has clearly been the hot hand in Anaheim. After Friday, he will have started seven straight games, so once Jonathan Bernier is healthy, Gibson will probably get a rest.

Gibson thwarted 28 of 29 shots in a 6-1 beatdown of the Predators on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
After dropping the first three starts of the season, Gibson has roared back with three wins in his last four while allowing just six goals during that span. He's being leaned on heavily in the early going by new head coach Randy Carlyle and appears up to the task of assuming the undisputed starting gig in Orange County now that Frederik Andersen is out of the picture.

Gibson will start in the crease Wednesday against the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson has turned things around recently after a shaky start to the season, going 2-0-1 in his last three games while posting a .924 save percentage over that span. He'll start his sixth straight game for the Ducks and could be in line for more until Jonathan Bernier (upper body) is ready to return. Gibson, in the meantime, will set his sights on a Predators team Wednesday tat has scored three goals per game this season and owns an even goal differential.

Gibson stopped 24 of 25 shots after coming on in relief of Jonathan Bernier in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to San Jose.
EDGE Analysis
Bernier was removed after one period with an upper-body injury, pressing Gibson into action on his day off. The Ducks' No. 1 netminder showed no rust, though, as he was perfect until Marc-Edouard Vlasic finally solved him in overtime. Anaheim surely wants to get the 23-year-old netminder sufficient rest, as he's going to be asked to blow away last season's total of 40 appearances, but Bernier's injury may force Gibson into action again Wednesday against Nashville in the second of a back-to-back set.

Gibson turned away 17 of 19 shots in Sunday's win over Vancouver.
EDGE Analysis
It was the fourth straight start for Gibson, who made some clutch stops and advanced to 2-2-1 in the process. He's currently sporting a .891 save percentage, but is trending in the right direction with back-to-back strong performances. The 23-year-old is the go-to-guy in Anaheim now and should build off two consecutive strong performances.

Gibson led the Ducks onto the ice for warmups and will play Sunday, according to Ducks PA announcer Phil Hulett.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson will make his fourth straight start for the Ducks in their home opener, taking on a Canucks squad that dropped a shootout on the road to the Kings on Saturday. The young netminder will be looking for his second win after going 1-2-1 with a 2.81 GAA and .890 save percentage.

Gibson notched his first win by stopping 20 of 22 shots Thursday in Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson had been off to a terrible start with nine goals allowed and zero wins through three appearances, but looked sharper in this 3-2 victory. His 2.81 GAA an .890 save percentage are far removed from the 23-year-old's career averages of 2.25 and .918 respectively, but it's too early to worry about his status as the unquestioned starter in Anaheim.
