Pavel Mintyukov - Earns power-play helper Mintyukov notched a power-play assist, blocked three shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Flames.

Impact Mintyukov was scratched for the previous two games, but he replaced Olen Zellweger in the lineup Tuesday. The two young blueliners appear to be competing for one spot in the lineup, though it's likely neither one will be sitting out for long, as they both need playing time for their development. Mintyukov has three helpers over his last outings and is up to nine points, 38 shots on net, 50 blocked shots, 34 hits and a minus-4 rating through 32 contests. While he can put up decent offense, the playing-time situation is less-than-ideal, making Mintyukov a risky option for most fantasy managers.

John Gibson - Drops result in overtime Gibson gave up three goals on 33 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Flames.

Impact This was Gibson's third start in the last four games, suggesting he may be pushing Lukas Dostal for playing time. The 31-year-old Gibson has allowed seven goals while going 2-0-1 over three appearances in January. He's now 7-5-2 with a 2.79 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 15 appearances, his best ratios in six years. Sustaining that level of play behind a young team may be tough, but Gibson needs to be rostered in fantasy if he's going to see at least half of the starts in Anaheim. The Ducks begin a road trip Thursday in St. Louis and have a weekend back-to-back ahead with stops in Philadelphia on Saturday and Carolina on Sunday.
