Gibson (leg) will tend the twine for Tuesday's away contest in Boston, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson's injury was apparently nothing serious and he'll maintain the starter's net without having missed any game action. The Pittsburgh native has managed four wins in his last six starts, but hasn't looked great while doing it, posting a .903 save percentage over that span. He'll do all he can to cool down a blazing hot Bruins squad that hasn't lost a game in regulation since Dec. 14 and is averaging 4.10 goals per game in January.

Gibson left Thursday's game against the Jets in the third period after suffering an apparent leg injury, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson suffered the injury when Winnipeg's Blake Wheeler lost his footing and slid into him during a failed scoring attempt. The 24-year-old netminder has been a workhorse for the Ducks this season, compiling a 17-14-1 record in 38 appearances, so it'll be a significant blow if he's forced to miss extended time. Ryan Miller will take over as the Ducks' starting netminder if Gibson is unavailable following the NHL's upcoming all-star break.

Gibson will man the crease on Thursday against Winnipeg, Eric Stephens of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old netminder is coming off a solid outing Tuesday, picking up the victory over the Rangers while saving 41-of-44 shots. After a strong 2016-17 campaign, Gibson has struggled a bit this year, compiling a pedestrian 17-14-5 record with a 2.68 GAA and .921 save percentage. He hasn't been the most consistent goalie this season, but he's still worth starting on a nightly basis.

Gibson stopped 41 of 44 shots in Tuesday's win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
This was exactly the type of performance needed from Gibson after he was burned for five goals in his last start. The 24-year-old advances to 17-14-5 on the season with a .921 save percentage. It's been a bit up-and-down of late for Gibson, but he remains a very valuable fantasy netminder due to his heavy workload and strong peripheral stats. Gibson doesn't see very many nights off and is a safe fantasy play whenever he's in action.

Gibson will patrol the blue paint versus the Rangers on Tuesday, Eric Stephens of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson will look to shake off a disappointing outing against San Jose, in which he gave up five goals on 22 shots before getting the hook. The Pittsburgh native hadn't allowed that many goals in a game since Oct. 26, when he was shelled for six by the Panthers. New York is just 7-11-2 on the road, which should bode well for Gibson, who is 10-9-2 as the home tender.

Gibson was pulled from Sunday's game against the Sharks after giving up five goals on 22 shots.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson almost made it through the whole game, but a late tally from Melker Karlsson proved to be the dagger. Gibson was pulled with just under eight minutes remaining in the third period and was credited with his 14th loss of the season. The 24-year-old has been at the top of his game prior to Sunday, picking up three straight victories. He's had some rough outings this year, but Gibson is sporting a .920 save percentage and is locked into the starting gig, making him worthy of a fantasy play whenever he's in the cage.

Gibson will stop pucks Sunday against the Sharks, Eric Stephens of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson has won three consecutive games since returning from the five-day break, posting a .927 save percentage and 2.01 GAA in the process. The Sharks boast the league's fifth-best power play unit (22.3 percent) and have won four of their last five contests, averaging 3.4 goals per game in that stretch. Gibson hasn't faced off against the Sharks yet this season, but in the two games between these two clubs, the series has been split with both games going into a shootout.

Gibson saved 23 of 24 shots during Friday's 2-1 win over Los Angeles.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson has now won six of his past nine contests and boasts an impressive .923 save percentage for the campaign. With Anaheim finally icing a healthy lineup, the netminder's play has improved considerably, and he projects to provide high-end marks moving forward. Fantasy owners who remained patient with Gibson through the first few months of the season are likely to be rewarded in spades when it matters most.

Gibson led the Ducks out to the ice for pregame warmups Friday night, Eric Stephens of The Orange County Register reports. As a result, he'll draw the home start against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
January historically has been one of Gibson's strongest months, as he's gone 14-6-2 with a sterling 1.94 GAA and .932 save percentage in 23 appearances to kick-start a new year. He'll square off against a struggling Kings squad that is looking to snap its five-game losing streak. Since these Western Conference teams usually play so late, it can be difficult to tell who will be in goal before lineups lock in DFS, but we're quite sure Ducks coach Randy Carlyle is aware that Gibson boasts an impressive .931 save percentage in 11 games against the rival Kings, hence why he's given him the starting nod in this one.

Gibson stopped 30 of 33 shots in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
He took a 4-1 lead into the third period before some untimely penalties allowed Pittsburgh to climb back into the game with a couple of power-play goals, but Gibson stood tall to close things out. He hasn't allowed more than three goals in any of his last eight games, collecting five regulation wins with a strong .934 save percentage (212-for-227) over that stretch.
