Gibson will guard the home goal during Wednesday's regular-season opener versus Winnipeg, Elliott Teaford of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson struggled behind a porous Anaheim defense last season, going 9-19-7 while posting a sub-par 2.98 GAA and .903 save percentage in 35 appearances. The Ducks are still in the midst of a rebuild, so although Gibson remains one of the most talented goaltenders in the league, his numbers may not improve much in 2021-22. He'll attempt to secure his first win of the campaign in a home matchup with a Jets team that averaged 3.25 goals per game on the road last year, sixth in the NHL.

Gibson led the Ducks onto the ice and will protect the home goal Thursday versus the Sharks, Elliott Teaford of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
This will be Gibson's preseason debut. The 28-year-old has endured a couple of tough years, but he's still expected to be the Ducks' No. 1 goalie this year. Anthony Stolarz will serve as backup Thursday -- it's unclear if Gibson will play the full contest or only a portion.

Gibson stopped 32 of 36 shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson did reasonably well to keep the Ducks in a back-and-forth game, but Wild rookie Kirill Kaprizov struck only 17 seconds into overtime. The 27-year-old Gibson dropped to 9-19-7 with a 2.98 GAA and a .903 save percentage in 35 appearances. Ryan Miller is expected to make the final start of his career Saturday versus the Wild, so Gibson will likely finish 2020-21 with relatively disappointing numbers for a third straight season.

Per Jessi Pierce of The Athletic, Gibson was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, indicating he'll be between the pipes for Friday's road game versus the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson played well in his last start Monday against St. Louis, stopping 29 of 31 shots, but he was still ultimately stuck with his 25th loss of the season due to insufficient goal support from his teammates. The 27-year-old netminder will try to snap his personal two-game losing streak in a rough road matchup with a Minnesota team that's 19-5-2 at home this season.

The 27-year-old Gibson slipped to 9-19-6 with a 2.95 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 34 contests.

Gibson will patrol the blue paint against the Blues on the road Monday, Elliott Teaford of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson needs just one more win to reach the 10-win threshold this season and play spoiler for St. Louis' postseason hopes. With Ryan Miller announcing his retirement at the end of the year, Gibson will probably see action in three of the final four contests at most.

Gibson gave up two goals on 25 shots in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Kings.

The 27-year-old goalie dropped to 9-18-6 with a 298 GAA and a .903 save percentage through 33 contests. Ryan Miller is already confirmed for Saturday's rematch with the Kings -- lately, when Gibson isn't starting, he has been a healthy scratch to avoid any risk of injury.
