John Gibson - NHL News & Rumors

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.

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.

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.

Taking on Detroit Gibson will get the starting nod at home versus Detroit on Friday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Gibson made his season debut Sunday after missing the first month of the season recovering from an appendectomy. He made 38 saves in a 4-2 win over Columbus and after getting Wednesday night off, he will once again get the start in goal. The Red Wings are having trouble lighting the lamp as they are averaging only 2.47 goals this season.

Wins season debut Gibson stopped 38 of 40 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Gibson missed all of the preseason and the first month of the regular season while recovering from an appendectomy. He looked great in his return, though the Ducks' defense didn't make his job any easier. Gibson is no stranger to heavy workloads -- over the last three seasons, the Ducks are tied for the most shots against per game at 35.0, and they're giving up slightly more (35.3) per game to begin 2024-25. Lukas Dostal has handled a starter's workload in Gibson's absence, but this could very well turn into a timeshare, which might yield the best results for both goalies. James Reimer is also on the roster and the Ducks are under no pressure to waive him until they need an extra skater, as they are far closer to the cap floor than the ceiling. A clearer picture of Anaheim's goaltending plans could come this week as they host the Golden Knights on Wednesday and the Red Wings on Friday.

Making first start of season Gibson will be between the pipes for Sunday home's matchup versus Columbus, Derek Lee of The Hockey News relays.

Impact Gibson will make his first appearance of the 2024-25 campaign Sunday after undergoing an appendectomy in September. The 31-year-old could push James Reimer out of the goaltender rotation now that the former is healthy. Gibson went 13-27-2 with an .888 save percentage and 3.54 GAA over 46 regular-season outings in 2023-24.

Lifted from IR Gibson (abdomen) has been removed from injured reserve ahead of Friday's game versus the Wild, per the NHL media site.

Impact Lukas Dostal was already confirmed to start in goal, but Gibson is eligible to dress as the backup. The 31-year-old Gibson missed the first month of the season while recovering from an appendectomy. Dostal has played well in his absence, so Gibson is unlikely to see the same kind of workload he's been able to earn in previous seasons.

Impact Gibson has missed the first few weeks of the regular season while recovering from an appendectomy, but he appears to be closing in on a return. While it's not yet clear when he could be back in game action, it's encouraging that he'll travel with the team for the upcoming four-game road trip. Once Gibson is able to return, he'll likely compete with Lukas Dostal for the starting goaltender job.

Placed on IR Gibson (abdomen) was designated for injured reserve Monday.

Impact Gibson was facing a 3-6 weeks recovery timeline, so the fact that he was placed on IR shouldn't come as a surprise. Without a veteran netminder on the roster, the Ducks claimed James Reimer off waivers Monday. Once cleared to play, Gibson should be capable of reclaiming the starting job from Lukas Dostal.

Ducks goalie John Gibson has appendectomy, will likely miss the start of the regular season

Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson is likely to miss the start of the regular season after undergoing an appendectomy

SEPTEMBER 26 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Might miss Opening Night Gibson underwent an appendectomy Wednesday and is questionable for Anaheim's season opener Oct. 12 in San Jose, per Eric Stephens of The Athletic on Thursday.

Impact Gibson had been practicing with the Ducks during training camp but didn't get into a preseason contest. He had a 13-27-2 record, 3.54 GAA and .888 save percentage in 46 games last season. Lukas Dostal might have gotten the start Opening Night regardless of Gibson's availability, but Dostal will be leaned on heavily if Gibson is out for any extended period of time. If Gibson isn't ready for the start of the campaign, then Oscar Dansk will likely begin the season with the Ducks as the No. 2 goaltender.

Gives up six goals Gibson allowed six goals on 27 shots in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Flames.

Impact The Ducks were all-around awful over the first two periods, and a rally in the third wasn't quite enough to bail out Gibson's poor play. The 30-year-old hadn't played over the previous five contests, but the time with an upper-body injury didn't help him shake his losing streak, which is now at seven games with a 5.61 GAA and an .836 save percentage in that span. Overall, Gibson has gone 13-27-2 with a 3.54 GAA and an .888 save percentage through 46 appearances in the latest of now five straight disappointing campaigns. Lukas Dostal is likely to start Saturday in Los Angeles, and it's unclear which goalie will get the nod for the season finale in Vegas on Thursday.

Expected to start Friday Gibson (upper body) will start in Friday's home tilt versus Calgary, according to Alyson Lozoff of Bally Sports West.

Impact Gibson is making his first appearance since March 30. He stopped 31 of 37 shots en route to a 6-1 loss to Edmonton in that contest. That defeat was the latest setback in what's been a challenging campaign for the 30-year-old goaltender -- he has a 13-26-2 record, 3.48 GAA and .890 save percentage across 45 appearances. The Flames might be a somewhat favorable matchup, though. Calgary ranks 20th offensively with 3.01 goals per game.

Not suiting up Tuesday Gibson (upper body) won't dress for Tuesday's game versus the Kings, Derek Lee of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Impact Gibson was expected to serve as backup, but he instead will fully rest again. Lukas Dostal will start and Alex Stalock will be the backup for at least one more game.
