Gibson will start Wednesday at home against Vancouver, Dan Arritt of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old netminder missed his scheduled start Sunday due to an illness, however, Gibson is set to return Wednesday to face the Canucks who've struggled of late having dropped six straight games. That said, Gibson hasn't had much luck himself recently either, losing four of his last five starts. For the season, he owns a 6-7-4 record, a 2.55 GAA to go along with a .928 save percentage.

Gibson (illness) returned to practice Tuesday, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson missed Sunday's game against Colorado due to an illness, but his presence at practice Tuesday suggests he should be good to go for Wednesday's matchup with Vancouver. The Ducks have yet to name a starter for that contest, but if Gibson isn't in goal against the Canucks, he'll almost certainly get the nod for Friday's match against the Oilers.

Gibson (illness) will not dress for Sunday's game against the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Ryan Miller will patrol the crease in his place and Kevin Boyle was recalled from AHL San Diego as backup. The 25-year-old is 4-6-1 on the season with a 2.55 GAA and .928 save percentage. It's unclear how long Gibson will miss, but Anaheim doesn't play again until Wednesday against the Canucks.

Gibson allowed two goals on 35 shots in a 2-1 loss to the Maple Leafs on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old hasn't been quite as sharp lately, but this was a typical Gibson start this season. Through the first six weeks of the season, he's taken a loss where he yielded two goals or less five times. Gibson owns a .928 save percentage this season and yet, he possesses a record of 6-7-4, leading the league in overtime losses. While Gibson should continue to be in fantasy lineups, he'll need his team to play better in order to become an elite option.

Gibson will start Friday's game versus the Maple Leafs, Elliott Teaford of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson's lost three of his last four outings and sports an ugly .897 save percentage in that span. He draws another difficult matchup against the Maple Leafs, who rank second in the league with 3.58 goals per game and have won five of their last six contests. If possible, fantasy owners should steer clear of Gibson in this slate.

Gibson yielded three goals on 12 shots before getting yanked about halfway through Wednesday's 5-0 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
The Ducks poor team play appears to finally be catching up to Gibson. In the last four games, he is 1-3-0 with an .897 save percentage, but he's hardly to blame for the recent slump. Gibson leads the league with 16 starts and has already played 925 minutes and faced 550 shots. Gibson is 6-7-3 with a .927 save percentage and 2.60 GAA this season.

Gibson led the Ducks onto the ice for warmups before Wednesday's game against the Golden Knights and is in line to be the road starter, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Ducks have asked a ton of Gibson, as he's already faced 538 shots through 15 games. The 25-year-old has been up to the task, though, as he has a 2.47 GAA and .931 save percentage. Vegas has only averaged 2.39 goals per game, but it's put 34.7 shots on net per contest, so this could still be a busy night for Gibson.

Gibson will patrol the crease for Monday's home showdown against Nashville, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson was rocked for five goals on 43 shots against Minnesota on Friday but still owns a career-high .928 save percentage so far this season. His 5-6-3 record obviously leaves much to be desired, but the Pittsburgh native is still posting above-average numbers. Nashville will provide another tough matchup as Gibson looks for his first win since Nov. 4.

Gibson saved 38 of 43 shots on the way to a 5-1 home loss to the Wild on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson was under heavy pressure in this one, as he saw 22 more shots than his own team could muster against counterpart Alex Stalock. Additionally, this was more about the Wild generating quality scoring chances and the Ducks having fits trying to counter the attack versus any kind of isolated meltdown on Gibson's part. Anaheim's top netminder only has two wins in his last 10 games despite carrying a respectable .919 save percentage over that span.

Gibson will start Friday's game versus the Wild, Elliott Teaford of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's been a tough season for Gibson, as he sports a .933 save percentage but has a 5-5-3 record since the Ducks are scoring just 1.6 times per game. The Wild enter this matchup winning three of the last four games and scoring 15 goals in that span. Gibson remains a risky option due to the flaky offensive support and tough opponent.
