Gibson allowed two goals on 35 shots in the Ducks loss to the Flyers on Sunday. The loss snapped a brief two-game winning streak for Gibson, who has gone 4-3-1 with a 2.80 GAA and .905 SV% in December. He is 1-1-0 but has allowed eight goals on 78 shots (.897 SV%) in his two starts vs. Vegas this season.
Silfverberg missed Monday's game in New York but is set to play Friday vs. the Golden Knights. Silfverberg has four goals and three assists (seven points) in his last nine games.
Gibson gave up five goals on 33 shots in the Ducks shootout win against the Islanders last Saturday. Over the last month, Gibson has gone 3-4-1 with a 2.91 GAA and .894 SV% in his last eight starts. It has been an up-and-down season for Gibson, who was shelled in his first game vs. Vegas. The Golden Knights scored five goals on 49 shots(!!!) in a 5-2 win over Gibson and the Ducks in late-October.
Both Gudas and Michal Kempny are battling illness, so Christian Djoos was called up from the AHL in case one or both of them miss tonight's game vs. the Blue Jackets.
Ryan Getzlaf missed Saturday's game with the flu and now Silfverberg will join him on the sideline for Sunday's afternoon game in New York. With Silfverberg out, Daniel Sprong has been recalled and will make his season debut.
Harkins has been terrific in the AHL this season, leading Manitoba with 31 points (7G / 24A) in 30 games. The former second-round pick will replace Joona Luoto, so look for him to start his career on the fourth line.
Stalock is dealing with an illness but head coach Bruce Boudreau expects him to serve as Devan Dubnyk's backup in Arizona.
Harkins was a second-round pick (No.47 overall) in 2015 and has played in 156 AHL games since. This year the 22-year-old winger leads the Manitoba Moose with 31 points (7G / 24A) in 30 games. He could make his NHL debut before the Christmas break with Mathieu Perreault and Andrew Copp both going on IR on Wednesday.
Terry suffered a broken bone in his leg during the second period of Tuesday's game in Philadelphia and will miss at least two and a half months. With Terry and Derek Grand getting hurt, the Ducks have recalled Isac Lundestrom and Max Jones from San Diego (AHL).
Terry left the Ducks' loss in Philadelphia in the second period and did not return. Head coach Dallas Eakins did not have an update on Terry post-game, but it seems unlikely that he will be available in New Jersey. Sam Carrick is their only reserve forward, so expect him to replace Terry.
Gibson allowed three goals one 32 shots in the Ducks win over the Rangers on Saturday. Gibson has lost four of his last six starts while posting a 2.58 GAA and .902 SV%. Tonight he faces a Flyers team that is extremely banged up but have won four of their last five on home-ice.
Stalock stopped 17 of 18 shots in the Wild's win over the Flyers on Saturday. It was a quiet night for the 32-year-old netminder, who will start tonight even though Devan Dubnyk (personal) is back in the fold. He has gone 4-4-2 with a 3.58 GAA, .889 SV% and one shutout on the road, this season so he's a risky option in tough venue.
Gibson allowed two goals on 27 shots in the Ducks loss to the Kings on Thursday. Quick will be making his fourth consecutive start on Saturday but comes in having lost four of this last five (1-3-1) while posting a 2.55 GAA and .902 SV%. Today he faces a Rangers team that ranks eighth in the NHL in goal-scoring (3.23 GF/gm).
Stalock allowed five goals on 39 shots in the Wild's loss in Carolina last Saturday. Kaapo Kahkonen started the last two games but Stalock will get the nod Saturday vs. the visiting Flyers. He has been terrific in Minnesota this year, going 4-0-0 with a 1.56 GAA and .946 SV% on home-ice. Philadelphia is banged up right now but has won six of their last nine road games, so Stalock comes with some risk tonight.
Poehling replaced Matthew Peca in the lineup on Wednesday but heads back to Laval ahead of Saturday's game vs. the Red Wings. His reassignment could be a paper move with a few days off or a sign that Pecas will be back on Saturday.
