With Marc-Andre Fleury starting the first nine games of the season and Malcolm Subban hurt, Dansk is expected to start the front-end of Vegas' back-to-back. The 25-year-old netminder will be appearing in his first NHL games since October 30th, 2017. Dansk has gone 3-0-0 with a 1.78 GAA and .946 SV% in four career NHL appearances and was 27-13-2 with a 2.46 GAA and .913 SV% in 40 AHL games last year.
Gibson allowed four goals on 23 shots in the Ducks loss in Boston on Monday.

Stalock stopped all 26 shots that he faced in the Wild’s shutout win in Ottawa on Monday. Devan Dubnyk continues to struggle, so Stalock will start for the second time in three games. He has allowed just one goal on 37 shots (.973 SV%) so far this season. His opponent’s offence has been impressive so far, ranking third in shots/gm (35.3) and 11th in goals/gm (3.50).
Gibson allowed two goals on 28 shots in the Ducks loss in Pittsburgh last Thursday. Gibson was given Friday off, so they’ll come back to him in Boston this afternoon. Gibson has been outstanding to kick-off 2019-20, going 3-1-0 with a 1.26 GAA and .961 SV% in his first four starts. As good as he has been, the Bruins present a very difficult matchup.
Stalock allowed one goal on 11 shots after replacing Devan Dubnyk in the Wild’s loss to the Penguins on Saturday. With Devan Dubnyk struggling to start the season, Stalock will make his first start today in Ottawa. He was 2-5-0 with a 2.92 GAA and .898 SV% on the road last year.

Gibson has had a tremendous start to 2019-20, going 2-0 while stopping 67 of the 69 shots (.971 SV%). The Ducks have given up plenty of chances but Gibson has stood tall so far. He will need to continue what he has started if the Ducks are going to have any success this season. Tonight he faces a Red Wings team that is also 2-0 to start the season and are being carried by a red-hot first-line.
Gibson stopped 32 of the 33 shots in the Ducks 2-1 win over the Coyotes on Thursday. Gibson will need to turn in performances like this on a nightly basis for the Ducks to be successful. The Sharks have had a terrible start to the season and Gibson was 2-0-1 with 2.96 GAA and .919 SV% against them last year.
Gibson started 57 games, going 26-22-8 with a 2.84 GAA and .917 SV%, the worst numbers since his rookie campaign. The Ducks did not do much to improve in front of Gibson this offseason, so it’s difficult to envision him returning to 30-plus wins. Tonight he faces a Coyotes team that went 1-0-2 with a 2.27 GAA, .936 SV% and one shutout against last season.
Husso appeared in 27 games with San Antonio (AHL) last season, going 6-18-0 with a 3.67 GAA and .871 SV%. With Jordan Binnington and Jake Allen clearly ahead of him on the depth chart, Husso will remain in the AHL to start the 2020 campaign.
McGinn has settled in as a bottom-6 winger in Carolina, picking up 26 points (10G / 16A) in 82 games in 2018-19. With proven top-9 players like Ryan Dzingel and Erik Haula coming in this summer, McGinn will continue to be limited to a fourth-line role in 2020.
The Rangers acquired the RFA defenseman from the Jets for Neal Pionk and a 2019 first-round pick on June 18th and signed him through the 2025-26 season. Trouba is coming off of the best year of his career, posting 50 points (8G / 42A) in 82 games with Winnipeg. Trouba immediately becomes the Rangers best defenseman and should see more minutes than he ever saw with the Jets.
