Gibson stopped 27 of 30 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson made his first start since Dec. 20, when he allowed three goals in a 4-2 loss to the Avalanche, and earned his first victory since the 4-3 win over the Blue Jackets on Dec. 14. Gibson should remain as the backup for the time being, so his fantasy upside is limited, but his 2.93 GAA is decent considering his 13 appearances (6-5-1) and .906 save percentage, so it wouldn't be a shock to see him challenge for more opportunities. From a purely statistical perspective, he's having his best numbers since 2020-21.

Gibson is slated to serve as the starting netminder for Thursday's road game against Winnipeg, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson didn't appear in any of the Ducks' last three games, but he'll be in the net for the team's first game in the new calendar year. The 31-year-old made six appearances in December and went 1-4-0 with a 3.45 GAA and .896 save percentage. While Gibson has had a limited sample recently, he'll likely have his hands full Thursday, as the Jets rank third in the NHL with 3.64 goals per game.

Gibson (illness) won't be in the lineup for Sunday's home game against Edmonton.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson will miss his second straight game. He has a 5-5-1 record with a 2.93 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 12 appearances this season. Due to Gibson's absence, Lukas Dostal will start again after playing in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Philadelphia, and Calle Clang will be the backup.

Gibson (illness) isn't available for Saturday's home game against the Flyers, per Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson recovered from an upper-body injury sustained in Monday's 3-1 loss to Vegas, but he missed Friday's practice due to an illness. Lukas Dostal will start versus the Flyers, while Calle Clang will be understudy following his promotion from AHL San Diego on Saturday. Dostal might start again versus Edmonton on Sunday if Gibson remains unavailable.

Gibson (upper body) has recovered from taking a stick to the face Monday versus the Golden Knights, but he missed Friday's practice due to an illness, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson is expected to suit up for Saturday's contest versus the Flyers, but head coach Greg Cronin has not specified how he'll divvy up the goaltending duties for the weekend's back-to-back. The Oilers are also in town Sunday, which would be the tougher of the two matchups. As long as the Ducks don't call up a goalie prior to Saturday's contest, consider Gibson good to go.

Gibson (upper body) won't return to Monday's game against the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson exited the contest in the first period after taking a stick to the face and was subsequently replaced in goal by Lukas Dostal. Gibson turned aside all 11 shots that he faced before departing. The 31-year-old should be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's home matchup against Philadelphia.

Gibson is expected to tend the twine for Monday's road game against the Golden Knights, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Ducks are playing the second half of a back-to-back set Monday, so Gibson will be in the net against the Golden Knights after Lukas Dostal started Sunday against Utah. Gibson will have a tough test ahead of the Christmas break, as Vegas is tied for fifth in the league with 3.52 goals per game.

Gibson stopped 19 of 22 shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson did a good job to keep the Avalanche off the board in the first period, but they put up two goals in each of the last two frames. This was Gibson's fifth loss in his last six outings, and he's given up at least three goals in five of those games. The 31-year-old has seen a slight majority of the playing time lately, but his status as the clear No. 1 netminder is tenuous at best. Gibson is now 5-5-1 with a 3.01 GAA and a .903 save percentage through 11 games. The Ducks are on the road Sunday in Utah and Monday in Vegas, so look for Gibson and Lukas Dostal to split the starts over the next two contests.

Gibson will be between the home pipes versus Colorado on Friday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson halted a three-game losing streak Saturday as he turned aside 39 shots in a 4-3 victory in Columbus. Gibson is 5-4-1 with a 3.00 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 10 outings this season. The Avalache are averaging 3.26 goals per game in 2024-25, which ranks ninth in the NHL.
