John Gibson News

Amid team drama, primarily circulating around Dylan Larkin's trade request, the Red Wings have quietly put together a span of impressive hockey, collecting points in seven of their last eight games (5-1-2). Gibson played well in his most recent outing, saving 18 of 19 shots (.947 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. That said, the veteran goalie has had an up-and-down season, posting a 3.15 GAA and .874 SV% in nine games (4-4-1).

Gibson had a tremendous inaugural season with the Red Wings in 2025-26, nearly leading them to a postseason berth, but 2026-27 has started rocky for the team, including Gibson. The 33-year-old American goalie struggled in his previous outing, allowing four goals on 25 shots (.840 SV%) in a 4-1 loss to the Calgary Flames. Gibson has an ugly 3.44 GAA and .867 SV% in eight games this season (3-4-1). The Red Wings enter Thursday's outing as -161 home favourites against a Chicago Blackhawks team that has scored two or fewer goals in four straight games (1-3-0).

Gibson had a tremendous inaugural season with the Red Wings in 2025-26, nearly leading them to a postseason berth, but 2026-27 has started rocky for the team, including Gibson. The 33-year-old American goalie had a brutal previous outing, allowing five goals on 15 shots (.667 SV%) in a 6-3 loss to the Seattle Kraken. He has a 3.43 GAA and .862 SV% in four games this season (1-3-0). The Red Wings enter Tuesday's contest at home with -105 odds against a New Jersey Devils team that lost 4-1 to the Ottawa Senators last night.

The Red Wings scored only two goals combined in their first two games (0-2-0), but are coming off their first victory of the season. The 33-year-old Gibson saved 22 of 25 shots (.880 SV%) in the outing and received ample goal support, defeating the Ottawa Senators 5-3. Gibson has a 2.38 GAA and .903 SV% this season (1-2-0).

The Red Wings are off to a disappointing 0-2-0 start to the 2026-27 season, but they don't have Gibson to blame for their struggles. The veteran 33-year-old goalie has a solid 2.07 GAA and .915 SV% through two games (0-2-0), but his offence has provided little support, producing only two total goals. The Red Wings will look for their first win on Tuesday, entering the action as slight -109 home favourites against an undefeated Ottawa Senators team (2-0-0).

Despite a tough 2-0 loss to New York in Detroit's opener, John Gibson was fantastic, stopping 19 of 20 shots against (.950 SV%) while receiving the hard-luck loss on Friday. He will hope for some offensive support on Sunday as Detroit hosts Winnipeg, who is coming off a 4-3 overtime loss vs. Boston in their opener.

The Red Wings came close to ending a decade-long playoff drought last season, thanks to an impressive stretch run by John Gibson, and they will need him to do it again in 2026-27 if they want to be competitive. The 33-year-old Gibson, a 13-year-old NHL veteran, has long been a talented goalie, but has had the misfortune of being surrounded by struggling teams, which will likely be the case again in Detroit. Last season, he posted a 2.72 GAA and .901 SV% in 57 appearances (29-22-4). The Red Wings enter their season opener as -125 home favourites against a New York Rangers team coming off an impressive 5-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning yesterday.

The Red Wings relied heavily on Gibson in the final months of the season, but his stellar play faded, and the Red Wings missed the postseason again. The 32-year-old Gibson led the Red Wings from early December into March, posting a stellar 2.02 GAA and .926 SV% in 28 games (20-6-1). That said, the workload clearly caught up to him, ending the season with a 3.10 GAA and .891 SV% in his last 15 (5-8-2). The Red Wings enter Wednesday's contest as -155 road favourites against a Florida Panthers team on a two-game winning streak.

Gibson allowed two goals on 15 shots before leaving Thursday's win vs. the Flyers with neck stiffness following a collision in his crease. Despite getting banged up on Thursday, Gibson will start yet again on Saturday, in a must-win game vs. New Jersey. Gibson is 14-11-3 with a 3.04 GAA and .882 SV% on home-ice this season but stopped all 21 shots in a shutout win in his only start vs. New Jersey this season.

Gibson left Thursday's game vs. Philadelphia after a scary collision with an upper-body injury but will be okay after taking a maintenance day on Friday. The 32-year-old is expected to be healthy and okay for Detroit's game vs. New Jersey and will bring his 29-20-4 record, .904 SV% and 2.64 GAA into the important matchup.
