Gibson stopped 49 of 51 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson was superb in his first start since Dec. 13, allowing just two goals while stopping a season-high 49 shots before blanking Vegas in a shootout. While it's unlikely any goaltender could maintain success facing this type of shot volume, it's an encouraging outing for Gibson following a five-game absence. The 29-year-old netminder improves to 6-14-3 with a .900 save percentage.

Gibson (lower body) was the first goalie to exit the ice Wednesday, Lisa Dillman of The Orange County Register reports, indicating he'll be between the pipes at home versus Vegas.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson's last start came Dec. 13 versus Toronto in which he stopped 25 of 27 shots in a losing effort. On the year, the Pittsburgh native has managed just five wins in 22 contests but figures to remain the No 1 option with Lukas Dostal not faring significantly better.

Gibson (undisclosed) left Tuesday's game versus the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson made it about halfway through the game, leaving in the second period after making 25 of 27 saves. Lukas Dostal replaced him in goal. With Gibson and Anthony Stolarz (lower body) both hurt, Dostal's playing time could be on the rise soon.

Gibson will tend the twine for Tuesday's home tilt against Toronto, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson has struggled mightily this season with just five wins in 21 outings and a career-worst 3.99 GAA. Even with the veteran backstop underwhelming, he is unlikely to concede the starting job to Lukas Dostal or Anthon Stolarz any time soon. At this point, Gibson is unlikely to have much value in season-long formats given his supporting cast but could be an option in daily contests if the matchup is right.

Gibson (illness) will serve as Lukas Dostal's backup Monday against Ottawa.
EDGE Analysis
It's possible that Gibson isn't 100 percent healthy after leaving Friday's game but it's a good sign that he's feeling well enough to dress. Barring a setback, the 30-year-old will likely be back in action Tuesday in Toronto.
