Gibson made 39 saves in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Columbus grabbed a 3-2 lead midway through the third period as the home squad out-shot Anaheim 17-5 in the final frame of regulation, but Gibson held on and gave the Ducks a chance to tie it up and eventually win it on an Alex Killorn breakaway in OT. Gibson had lost his last four starts, and since an appendectomy cost him roughly the first month of the season, the veteran netminder has gone 5-4-1 with a 3.00 GAA and .906 save percentage while splitting the crease with Lukas Dostal.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson gave up five goals on 34 shots in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Ottawa cashed in three times on the power play, with Drake Batherson scoring two-thirds of his hat trick with the man advantage. The Ducks rank 28th in the league in penalty killing, checking in at a 72.4 percent success rate. Gibson has lost four starts in a row, giving up 14 goals in that span while trending in the wrong direction after a positive start to the campaign. He's now 4-4-1 with a 3.01 GAA and a .906 save percentage. Lukas Dostal is slated to start Thursday versus the Maple Leafs and could be due for a larger role between the pipes -- Gibson has been starting two out of three games lately, but a 50-50 split may better suit both goalies.

Gibson will guard the road goal in Wednesday's game versus the Senators, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.

Gibson allowed four goals on 32 shots in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Wild. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson's early success has faded as the competition has gotten tougher -- he's now allowed nine goals during a three-game losing streak against the Kings, Golden Knights and Wild. The American netminder has faced an average of just over 30 shots per start, so it's encouraging to see the Ducks' defense keep his workload down more than usual. He's now 4-3-1 with a 2.76 GAA and a .909 save percentage through eight starts this season. While Gibson has started four of the last five games, it wouldn't be surprising to see Lukas Dostal carve out a bit more playing time during the Ducks' upcoming four-game road trip.

Gibson will patrol the home crease versus Minnesota on Friday, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson is off to a fast start after missing the first 13 games of the season while recovering from an appendectomy operation. He is 4-2-1 with a 2.57 GAA and a .915 save percentage. Gibson is having his best season since the 2017-18 campaign when he went 31-18-7 with a 2.43 GAA and a .926 save percentage. Gibson will have a tough matchup, as the Wild sit atop the NHL standings with a 17-4-4 record.

Gibson stopped 29 of 32 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson has held the Kings and Golden Knights to a combined five goals, but he's come away with regulation losses in each of his last two starts. The 31-year-old has seen his scoring support from his teammates evaporate on this homestand. Gibson is now 4-2-1 with a 2.57 GAA and a .915 save percentage over seven starts. This was his fifth start in the last seven games, but he has not started the next contest after his first two losses so far, so head coach Greg Cronin may be opting for a hot-hand approach to the Anaheim crease. The Ducks' next game is Friday versus the Wild.

Gibson will defend the home crease during Wednesday's game against the Golden Knights, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson has been effective lately and will be between the pipes for the fifth time in the Ducks' last seven games, further signaling that he appears to have reclaimed the No. 1 goaltender job from Lukas Dostal. Over six appearances this year, Gibson has posted a 4-1-1 record, 2.49 GAA and .916 save percentage.

Gibson made 16 saves in a 2-1 loss to the Kings on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson looks like the Gibson of old since his return from an emergency appendectomy. He's 4-1-1 with a 2.48 GAA and .922 in six starts this season. If he can keep this up, Gibson could find his name thrown about in trade talks despite his $6.4 million cap hit through 2026-27. Until then, he's a solid fantasy play in all formats, including redraft.

Gibson will start between the pipes in Friday's game against the Kings, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson didn't make his season debut until Nov. 10, but he's been excellent when called upon duty. The 31-year-old has yet to lose in regulation, going 4-0-1 with a 2.57 GAA and a .919 save percentage in his five appearances. The Kings rank 16th in the league with 3.00 goals scored per game in 2024-25.
