Gibson will start in goal Wednesday against the visiting Jets, Elliott Teaford of The Orange County Register
EDGE Analysis
It's too little, too late for the Ducks, as the team won't be making the playoffs, but Gibson has been clutch for fantasy owners down the stretch based on an active four-game winning streak with a 2.25 GAA and .942 save percentage over that span. He'll field shots from a Jets club with the best record (43-25-4) in the Central Division -- also winners of three straight games and six of the past 10 contests.

Gibson stood strong against the Panthers on Sunday, stopping 37 of 39 shots to get the win. Gibson credited the win as a total team effort, Adam Brady of NHL.com reports. "It seems that we have a different mentality," Gibson said. "We just needed to change the atmosphere, it's a little more upbeat and it just seems that we are playing more of a team game. I think the biggest thing I've noticed is our compete level, whether we are winning or losing."
EDGE Analysis
Gibson has won his last four starts, improving to 22-21-8 on the season with a .917 save percentage. His overall numbers are below previous seasons, but so much of that has to do with the defense in front of him. Only recently have the Ducks started to play well.

Gibson will patrol the blue paint for Sunday's game against Florida, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's been a pretty up-and-down season for Gibson, but he's currently working off a three-game win streak. During that span, he's registered a wonderful .939 save percentage and 2.34 GAA. The 25-year-old is a strong fantasy netminder despite his rough patches this season and he should be started as such.

Gibson allowed three goals on 44 shots in a 5-3 victory over the Avalanche on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
This was Gibson's third consecutive win to pull him back to a .500 mark. The record isn't good, but Gibson has been very strong this season, and he's been incredible on his winning streak. He's posted a .939 save percentage in the last three games. Overall, Anaheim's top netminder is 21-21-8 with a 2.88 GAA and .916 save percentage in 52 games this season.

Gibson will tend the road twine in Friday's game versus the Avalanche, Elliott Teaford of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
He's been standing tall in the blue paint lately with a .926 save percentage since the trade deadline, and his teammates are finally pulling their weight as Gibson has a 3-2-0 record in that span. The Avalanche has been shut out in two of the last three contests, so Gibson is set up well to continue the recent play.

Gibson stopped 32 of 34 shots in a 3-2 win over the Predators on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson kept the twine safe for 54:16 before Filip Forsberg scored twice on the power play. Gibson was able to lock it down over the last five minutes to secure the win. His record improved to 20-21-8 with a 2.88 GAA and a .915 save percentage. Tuesday's contest was Gibson's 50th start of the year. The Ducks have a back-to-back Thursday and Friday, which likely means Gibson will split starts with Ryan Miller on the short road trip.

Gibson is shaping up to the home starter versus the Predators on Tuesday, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anaheim deployed backup Ryan Miller in Sunday's game against the Kings, so Gibson will take back the net against a Predators club that is averaging three goals per game on the road this season. Gibson has a 19-21-8 record, 2.90 GAA and .915 save percentage through 50 games, which easily qualifies as a down year for the sixth-year goalie.

Gibson stopped 35 of 37 shots in an 8-2 win over the Canadiens on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The Ducks never trailed in this contest, and Gibson's stellar play was a big reason why. Gibson improved to 19-21-8 with a 2.90 GAA and a .915 save percentage in 50 games (49 starts). Life shouldn't be as hard when the Kings visit for a California battle Sunday in a matchup between the two worst offenses in the league.

Gibson will tend twine at home against the Habs on Friday, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson has just one win in his last seven outings, along with an abysmal 4.70 GAA and .867 save percentage. Even if the netminder was performing better, he would be hard pressed to compile wins, considering Anaheim is averaging a league-worst 2.18 goals per game. It could be a busy night for the Pittsburgh native, as Montreal is putting 33.4 shots on net per game (fourth highest in the league).

Gibson allowed five goals on 33 shots in a 5-4 loss to the Blues on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old finally snapped his five-game losing streak on Sunday, but this performance will shed any goodwill built up from that game. Gibson is now 1-6-0 with an .867 save percentage in seven games since Jan. 23. During that stretch, he also missed nine games because of an upper-body injury. Gibson's had an extremely rough season. He is 18-21-8 with a 2.92 GAA and .914 save percentage in 49 games.
