Gibson tied a franchise record Sunday, stopping 51 of 54 shots in a shootout win over Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
What a night for Gibson, who almost single-handedly beat the Flyers. It was also a strange outing for the 23-year-old, as he was pulled in the second period for Jonathan Bernier, only to re-enter the game 3:48 later. Gibson advances to 13-9-7 on the season with a .911 save percentage. Gibson's outstanding performance Sunday showcased his ability to steal a game and why he never makes for a bad fantasy play when it comes to deciding which goalie to start.

Gibson will be the starting goaltender in Sunday's game with Philadelphia, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old will make his third start in five days, so there's a risk of fatigue. However, he looked quite solid in the first two of those games, stopping 54 of 58 shots. The Flyers are in the top ten in the league in both shots and goals per game, so Gibson will need to weather a storm in Sunday's game.

Gibson saved just 23 of 26 shots during Friday's overtime loss to Vancouver.
EDGE Analysis
It was Gibson's second start in consecutive nights and fourth straight overall. Starting back-to-back road games is rare, but Gibson saved 31 of 32 shots against Calgary on Thursday. The 23-year-old netminder hasn't taking the No. 1 gig and ran with it this season, as his 12-9-7 record, .908 save percentage and 2.58 GAA are all underwhelming marks. The talent is there, but Gibson shouldn't currently be viewed as a matchup-proof starter.

Gibson led his team onto the ice for warmups and will be the starting goalie for Friday's road game against the Canucks, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite the Ducks' usual tendency to hand the goal over to Jonathan Bernier on either end of a back-to-back, they are apparently more confident in Gibson right now and he will make his fourth start in a row. The 2011 second-round draft pick gets a pretty good matchup against a Vancouver team that ranks 24th in the league with 2.36 goals per game.

Gibson gave up only one goal on 32 shots in Thursday's 3-1 victory over Calgary.
EDGE Analysis
This was the 23-year-old netminder's best start in a while, as he's been rather inconsistent of late, to put it kindly -- over his prior five outings, he'd posted a 3.25 GAA and .876 save mark. Gibson draws the vast majority of the starts in net for Anaheim, but the biggest workload of his career hasn't been all that rewarding for fantasy owners, as he's carrying a below-average .909 save percentage to go with an unimpressive 12-9-6 record.

Gibson will patrol the blue paint against the Flames on Thursday, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson has come up short in four of his last five appearances with a dismal .876 save percentage. It has been a somewhat disappointing first season at the helm for the 23-year-old, especially considering former teammate Frederik Andersen seems to be thriving in Toronto. The netminder has also been hampered by a struggling penalty kill that is 20th in the league at 80.8 percent.

Gibson took an overtime loss for the the second straight start Tuesday against San Jose, giving up three goals on 25 shots.
EDGE Analysis
It's been tough sledding in general for the 23-year-old netminder this year, and even tougher recently -- he has just an .882 save percentage over his last seven outings. Gibson can count himself fortunate that Jonathan Bernier presents no challenge for his job, meaning the Ducks are pretty much stuck rolling with the punches here.

Gibson will man the crease for Tuesday's home matchup against the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
After allowing 15 goals over his first five starts of December, Gibson has settled down, allowing just two in each of his last three appearances en route to a 1-1-1 record. The 23-year-old netminder will have an interesting matchup against a Sharks' offense that averages 2.50 goals per game, 22nd in the NHL, but has won six of its' last seven contests.

Gibson allowed two goals on 18 shots in Thursday's 2-1 overtime loss to Ottawa.
EDGE Analysis
The Ducks did an excellent job of limiting opposing chances, but Ottawa still managed to sneak two by the struggling netminder. Gibson has now posted a save percentage below .900 in eight of his past 14 starts, coming up victorious in just one of those subpar performances. The 23-year-old has failed to live up to expectations in his first season as a full-time starter, with an 11-9-5 record, 2.62 GAA and .907 save percentage.

Gibson will start in the crease Thursday against the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson stopped 33 of 35 shots in his last start en route to his 11th win of the season and will look to carry that over into Thursday's matchup. He will face a Senators club averaging 3.10 goals per game in December, making it a tough task.
