Gibson inked a one-year, two-way contract with Washington on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Gibson has yet to make his NHL debut, though he is just one season removed from his collegiate career at Harvard University. At best, Gibson should probably be considered fourth on the organizational depth chart, so his path to the NHL would take several injuries at this point. The Capitals look poised to head into the 2024-25 campaign with Charlie Lindgren and Logan Thompson as their NHL goaltending duo.

He also went 2-0-0 in two AHL outings, surrendering four goals on 47 shots. Gibson will probably serve as a depth option during Hershey's AHL playoff run.
