John Gibson News

Gibson took part in full practice on Thursday but the Ducks were very tight lipped about whether or not he will be available for Friday’s contest. “I can’t really talk about it,” Gibson told reporters and head coach Randy Carlyle rarely divulges any goaltender information. Monitor his status during Friday’s morning skate, but it looks like Ryan Miller might make a fifth straight start.

Gibson will miss his third straight game with a lower-body injury, leaving the starting duties to Ryan Miller. However, Gibson’s availability for the skate is a good sign that he might be available for Tuesday’s game in Buffalo.

Gibson is day-to-day with a lower-body injury so Ryan Miller will start in Ottawa and Reto Berra has been recalled from San Diego (AHL) to serve as his backup. The Ducks have not placed Gibson on IR, which suggests that it probably isn’t too serious and he could be back at for one of the next two games.

Gibson was forced to leave Tuesday’s game with under eight minutes left after being drilled by a Patrice Bergeron shot. The two injures are reportedly unrelated but his absence on Wednesday makes him questionable for Thursday’s game in Ottawa. Gibson was great yesterday, stopping all 25 shots that he faced before having to leave, so they’ll want him in the crease tomorrow.

Gibson allowed three goals on 27 shots in the Ducks loss to the Jets last Thursday. Gibson has won four of his last six starts while posting a 2.96 GAA and .903 SV%. Gibson’s road numbers aren’t great, but he stopped 40 of 42 shots in a 4-2 win in his first start vs. the Bruins and they’ll be without Brad Marchand (suspended) tonight.

Gibson allowed three goals on 44 shots in the Ducks win over the Rangers on Tuesday. Gibson has won four of his last five starts while posting a 2.89 GAA and .905 SV%.
