With the Red Wings desperately battling to stay in playoff contention, Gibson has picked a poor time to see a decline in his play.

The Penguins have turned to Stuart Skinner in two straight games, but they will flip the script on Monday, hoping Silovs find his form after several concerning efforts. The 25-year-old Silovs allowed five goals on 29 shots (.828 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 6-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche. He has allowed four or more goals in five of his last six games (3-3-0), posting a 4.06 GAA and .840 SV%.

He has allowed two or fewer goals in four consecutive appearances (3-1-0), posting a stellar 1.10 GAA and .953 SV%. The Islanders enter Monday's contest as -118 home favourites against a Penguins team that has lost three of their last four games (1-3-0).
Protas was limited to only 6:27 time-on-ice in Washington's 5-4 win over the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday, exiting the game due to an upper-body injury. The 25-year-old forward has 47 points (23G / 24A) in 70 games this season. With only eight games remaining in Washington's regular season, it is unclear when, or if, Protas will be targeting a return.
