John Gibson - NHL News & Rumors

Loses to Colorado Gibson stopped 19 of 22 shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Gibson did a good job to keep the Avalanche off the board in the first period, but they put up two goals in each of the last two frames. This was Gibson's fifth loss in his last six outings, and he's given up at least three goals in five of those games. The 31-year-old has seen a slight majority of the playing time lately, but his status as the clear No. 1 netminder is tenuous at best. Gibson is now 5-5-1 with a 3.01 GAA and a .903 save percentage through 11 games. The Ducks are on the road Sunday in Utah and Monday in Vegas, so look for Gibson and Lukas Dostal to split the starts over the next two contests.

Ends losing streak Saturday Gibson made 39 saves in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Columbus grabbed a 3-2 lead midway through the third period as the home squad out-shot Anaheim 17-5 in the final frame of regulation, but Gibson held on and gave the Ducks a chance to tie it up and eventually win it on an Alex Killorn breakaway in OT. Gibson had lost his last four starts, and since an appendectomy cost him roughly the first month of the season, the veteran netminder has gone 5-4-1 with a 3.00 GAA and .906 save percentage while splitting the crease with Lukas Dostal.

Starting in Columbus Gibson will guard the road net Saturday against the Blue Jackets, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Yields five goals Wednesday Gibson gave up five goals on 34 shots in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Senators.

Impact Ottawa cashed in three times on the power play, with Drake Batherson scoring two-thirds of his hat trick with the man advantage. The Ducks rank 28th in the league in penalty killing, checking in at a 72.4 percent success rate. Gibson has lost four starts in a row, giving up 14 goals in that span while trending in the wrong direction after a positive start to the campaign. He's now 4-4-1 with a 3.01 GAA and a .906 save percentage. Lukas Dostal is slated to start Thursday versus the Maple Leafs and could be due for a larger role between the pipes -- Gibson has been starting two out of three games lately, but a 50-50 split may better suit both goalies.

Making start in Ottawa Gibson will guard the road goal in Wednesday's game versus the Senators, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.

Impact Gibson has allowed nine goals on 82 shots during his three-game losing streak. The Senators have gone five games without scoring more than three goals, though they are 2-2-1 in that span.

DECEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Takes third straight loss Gibson allowed four goals on 32 shots in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Wild. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Gibson's early success has faded as the competition has gotten tougher -- he's now allowed nine goals during a three-game losing streak against the Kings, Golden Knights and Wild. The American netminder has faced an average of just over 30 shots per start, so it's encouraging to see the Ducks' defense keep his workload down more than usual. He's now 4-3-1 with a 2.76 GAA and a .909 save percentage through eight starts this season. While Gibson has started four of the last five games, it wouldn't be surprising to see Lukas Dostal carve out a bit more playing time during the Ducks' upcoming four-game road trip.

Tending twine Friday Gibson will patrol the home crease versus Minnesota on Friday, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gibson is off to a fast start, after missing the first 13 games of the season recovering from an appendectomy operation. He is 4-2-1 with a 2.57 GAA and a .915 save percentage. Gibson is having his best season since the 2017-18 campaign when he went 31-18-7 with a 2.43 GAA and a .926 save percentage. Gibson will have a tough matchup as the Wild sit atop the NHL standings with a 17-4-4 record.

DECEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Decent showing in loss Gibson stopped 29 of 32 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Gibson has held the Kings and Golden Knights to a combined five goals, but he's come away with regulation losses in each of his last two starts. The 31-year-old has seen his scoring support from his teammates evaporate on this homestand. Gibson is now 4-2-1 with a 2.57 GAA and a .915 save percentage over seven starts. This was his fifth start in the last seven games, but he has not started the next contest after his first two losses so far, so head coach Greg Cronin may be opting for a hot-hand approach to the Anaheim crease. The Ducks' next game is Friday versus the Wild.

Starting against Vegas Gibson will defend the home crease during Wednesday's game against the Golden Knights, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Gibson has been effective lately and will be between the pipes for the fifth time in the Ducks' last seven games, further signaling that he appears to have reclaimed the No. 1 goaltender job from Lukas Dostal. Over six appearances this year, Gibson has posted a 4-1-1 record, 2.49 GAA and .916 save percentage.

DECEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Playing like goalie of old Gibson made 16 saves in a 2-1 loss to the Kings on Friday.

Impact Gibson looks like the Gibson of old since his return from an emergency appendectomy. He's 4-1-1 with a 2.48 GAA and .922 in six starts this season. If he can keep this up, Gibson could find his name thrown about in trade talks despite his $6.4 million cap hit through 2026-27. Until then, he's a solid fantasy play in all formats, including redraft.

NOVEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Gets starting nod Friday Gibson will start between the pipes in Friday's game against the Kings, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Gibson didn't make his season debut until Nov. 10, but he's been excellent when called upon duty. The 31-year-old has yet to lose in regulation, going 4-0-1 with a 2.57 GAA and a .919 save percentage in his five appearances. The Kings rank 16th in the league with 3.00 goals scored per game in 2024-25.

NOVEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Stands tall in win Gibson allowed two goals on 44 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.

Impact Gibson remains undefeated in regulation, going 4-0-1 through his first five starts this year. He's been between the pipes for three of the last four games for the Ducks -- it's too soon to say he's retaken the No. 1 job from Lukas Dostal, but it's trending in that direction. Gibson has maintained a 2.57 GAA and a .925 save percentage so far. The Ducks' next two games are both fairly challenging matchups, as they host the Kings on Friday and the Senators on Sunday.

Gibson stops 42 shots as the Ducks beat the Kraken 5-2

John Gibson made a season-high 42 saves and Alex Killorn scored the tiebreaking goal midway through the second period as the Anaheim Ducks defeated the Seattle Kraken 5-2

NOVEMBER 28 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Starting in Seattle Gibson will guard the road goal versus the Kraken on Wednesday, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports.

Impact Gibson will get the nod Wednesday after Lukas Dostal took a 3-2 loss against the Kraken in Anaheim on Monday. Gibson is 3-0-1 this season, and he'll face a Seattle squad that has averaged 2.77 goals per game.

NOVEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Takes first loss in overtime Gibson yielded three goals on 32 shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sabres.

Impact Gibson started consecutive games for the first time this season, but it ended up resulting in his first defeat. The 31-year-old couldn't protect a 2-0 lead, letting the Sabres pull even late in the second period before giving up a goal to Jiri Kulich on a rebound in overtime. Gibson is now 3-0-1 with a 2.70 GAA and a .906 save percentage over four appearances. Lukas Dostal has played too well to be completely relegated to the backup role -- expect the Ducks to operate a timeshare in the crease when both Gibson and Dostal are healthy. The team's next game is Monday versus the Kraken.

NOVEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

First goalie off ice Friday Gibson was the first goaltender off the ice at morning skate, per Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News, indicating he will patrol the home crease versus Buffalo on Friday.

Impact Gibson will make his second straight start and fourth in the last six games, since coming off injured reserve Nov. 10, as he missed the first month of the season recovering from an appendectomy. The veteran netminder is 3-0-0 and has given up eight goals on 85 shots. Gibson will face the Sabres, who are averaging 3.21 goals per game.

NOVEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Earns third win Gibson stopped 18 of 20 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact The Blackhawks weren't able to get much going on offense outside of a pair of Jason Dickinson goals. Gibson faced his lightest workload of the season to earn his third straight win, and he's allowed a total of eight goals on 85 shots so far. The 31-year-old netminder has alternated started with Lukas Dostal since Gibson was activated from injured reserve, and that pattern seems likely to continue. It could benefit both netminders by helping them avoid being overworked. The Ducks' next two games are at home -- they play the Sabres on Friday and the Kraken on Monday.

NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Starting in Chicago Gibson will guard the road goal versus the Blackhawks on Tuesday, Greg Boysen of CHGO Sports reports.

Impact Gibson will get the second half of a back-to-back after Lukas Dostal picked up a 4-2 win over the Stars on Monday. Through two starts this season, Gibson has been solid, winning both outings while allowing six goals on 65 shots. The Blackhawks are a soft matchup, but the Ducks don't tend to score a lot either, so they could struggle to offer sufficient support.

NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Allows four goals in win Gibson gave up four goals on 25 shots in Friday's 6-4 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Gibson has won both of his starts since returning from an appendectomy, but this wasn't a pretty effort. The Red Wings' power play converted three times, and it took a strong third period for the Ducks to pull off a comeback. With Lukas Dostal struggling recently, Gibson has a chance to stake his claim to at least a timeshare role. The Ducks' next two games are on the road with stops in Dallas on Monday and Chicago on Tuesday -- whichever goalie starts the latter game will be a strong streaming option.
