Gibson put forth a 35-save performance Monday, giving up three goals in a 4-3 shootout victory over the visiting Red Wings.
After a pair of ghastly losses to Tampa Bay and Washington in which he coughed up nine goals, the rookie netminder has strung together three straight wins. Gibson appears to be gaining momentum after a slow start in relief of starter Freddy Andersen (upper body), but his tenure of temporary starter in Orange County could be coming to an end soon with Andersen having resumed skating and nearing a return. Nonetheless, Gibson has recorded a 2.74 GAA, .912 save percentage and 6-4-0 record in 10 starts this season, and remains a fine fantasy option between the pipes as long as he's getting the nod.

Gibson will start between the pipes Monday against the Red Wings, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.
Gibson's backup has yet to be determined, but it will likely be the newly recalled Jason LaBarbera despite Frederik Andersen's (upper body) presence on the ice before morning skate. Despite the shuffle behind him, Gibson will search for his third straight victory in net Monday, facing a Red Wings squad averaging 2.93 goals per contest.

Gibson made 26 saves in Saturday's 2-1 victory over the Oilers.He has wins in back-to-back games, but Frederik Andersen could be back from IR as early as Monday. Gibson will likely be dispatched to the AHL to continue his tutelage, so don't give away the farm to get him.

Gibson made 25 of 28 saves in a 6-3 win over the Flames on Friday.This was Gibson's second win in five starts since starter Freddy Anderson (upper body) went down. It was nice to see him grab the W after allowing nine goals in the previous two starts (both losses) against Tampa Bay and Washington, but he still hasn't been very good in relief. In saying that, his play probably has him booked for a trip back down to AHL Norfolk once Andersen returns.

Gibson allowed four goals - all in the second period - on 32 shots in Wednesday's loss to the Lightning.Gibson did make his third straight start for the division leading Ducks, but with regular starter Frederik Andersen (upper body) set to return soon, Gibson will likely be sent back down to the minors within the next few days. Look elsewhere for options between the pipes.

Gibson will be in the crease for Wednesday's game against the Lightning, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.Gibson will earn his third start in a row, as it appears he's unseated Ilya Bryzgalov for regular netminding duties while Frederik Andersen (upper body) remains sidelined. The young goalie has been a mixed bag during his latest stay with the Ducks, producing a 1-1-0 record and .890 save percentage over his three appearances (two starts). Gibson is viewed as the Ducks' goalie of the future, but he'll be shipped back to AHL Norfolk for further development time once Andersen is ready to go.

Gibson gave up five goals on 28 shots in Sunday's loss to Washington.Not a good outing from Gibson, who falls to 3-3-0 on the season with a .912 save percentage and 2.78 GAA. We wouldn't be worried about his performance Sunday, though, as he was victimized by the red-hot Alexander Ovechkin and had allowed just seven goals in his last five appearances. With No.1 goalie Frederik Andersen on the IR, Gibson makes for a great fantasy play until the starter returns.

Gibson will start Sunday's game against the Capitals, Curtis Zupke of NHL.com reports.Gibson stopped 35-of-36 shots in Thursday's win over Carolina, and he'll try to carry the momentum over against a much tougher opponent. Frederik Andersen (upper body) is eligible to return from injured reserve for Wednesday's game against Tampa Bay, but he may not be ready to play.
