Gibson (upper body) will not return to Monday's game against the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson made an acrobatic save at the end of the first period and did not return to the game to begin the second. He stopped six of the seven shots he faced and was replaced by Lukas Dostal. An update on Gibson's status should be available before Wednesday's tilt with Arizona.

The 30-year-old Pittsburgh native has a 5-7-1 record with a 3.58 GAA and an .898 save percentage against his hometown team over 13 career appearances.

Gibson stopped 27 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran netminder got beat three times on 13 shots in the second period as Boston threatened to pull away, but Gibson regained his focus and slammed the door shut the rest of the way. It was his first win of the season after three losses, but he hasn't played badly, posting a .905 save percentage so far in 2023-24. The Ducks are back in action Saturday in Philadelphia, but if the team's timeshare in net continues, Lukas Dostal will presumably get the nod.

Gibson is expected to guard the road net Thursday versus Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson has a 2.73 GAA and a .907 save percentage, which isn't too bad, but he's suffered three straight regulation losses to start the campaign. Anaheim has provided him with just four goals worth of support over that stretch. That includes a 3-1 loss to the Bruins on Sunday, during which Gibson saved 23 of 25 shots. Boston is 6-0-0 while averaging 3.17 goals per game this year.

Gibson stopped 23 of 25 shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Bruins. The third goal was an empty-netter
EDGE Analysis
Gibson did his part early on, keeping the game scoreless through two periods. Mason McTavish put the Ducks ahead initially, but Matthew Poitras replied with two goals against Gibson to lift the Bruins to victory. Despite the poor result, Gibson is showing a little more promise with eight goals allowed through three outings. He's also faced fewer than 30 shots twice -- that happened just 10 times in his 53 appearances a season ago. If the Ducks keep alternating between Gibson and Lukas Dostal, the latter would start Tuesday in Columbus while the former would get the nod in a rematch with the Bruins on Thursday.

Gibson will protect the home goal versus the Bruins on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson has allowed three goals in each of his two outings this season, both losses. The Bruins have scored a total of 13 times over four games. Gibson will be playing behind a young defense, which could make it difficult to find success against a tough opponent.

Gibson kicked out 21 of 24 shots in a 3-2 loss to Dallas on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson was bested twice in the second period, but in his defense, Dallas outshot Anaheim 12-1 in that frame, so he didn't get a ton of support during that stretch. Regardless, the 30-year-old netminder has dropped to 0-2-0 with a 3.06 GAA and a .902 save percentage in two contests this season. With the Ducks playing Arizona on Saturday and Boston on Sunday, Gibson is likely to start in one of those games.

Gibson is expected to guard the home crease versus Dallas on Thursday, per Derek Lee of The Sporting Tribune.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson stopped 34 of 37 shots in a 4-1 loss to Vegas on Saturday. Over 53 contests last season, he posted a 14-31-8 record, 3.99 GAA and .899 save percentage. Gibson has traditionally been effective against the Stars, recording a 2.53 GAA and a .924 save percentage in 15 career appearances.

Gibson allowed three goals on 37 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson played better than the stats indicate, but the lack of goal support continues to be a major hinderance. Last season, the Ducks averaged just 2.51 goals per game, which was the second-lowest rate in the league and behind only the Blackhawks and their paltry 2.46 rate. The Ducks go right back to work Sunday for a home tilt against the Hurricanes, which makes it worth checking to see whether Gibson gets the nod again, or perhaps we'll see Anaheim's 2018 third-round pick, Lukas Dostal, between the pipes. Check back later for official goalie confirmations.
