Talbot stopped all 31 shots in the Rangers 2-0 win over the Flyers on November 19th. It was Talbot’s first win of the season and he will take on the Flyers again today looking for win number-2. He makes for a solid spot-start against a Philly team who have lost six of their last seven.
Talbot allowed five goals on 31 shots in the Rangers 5-4 loss to the Maple Leafs on November 8th. The Rangers are 1-2-2 in their last five games behind Henrik Lundqvist, so Talbot will get a chance to pick up his first win of the season tonight vs. the Flyers. Philly ranks third in the NHL in scoring, but are a .500 team, making Talbot a decent spot-start option in a quiet night in the NHL.
Talbot allowed three goals on 34 shots in a loss to the Blues on Monday. He will make his second start of the week in the front end of the Rangers’ back-to-back. He will take on the Leafs who have dropped two in a row and sit sixth in the Atlantic Division at 6-5-2.
The Rangers have a back-to-back set coming up this weekend, so it looks like they will go with Talbot on Saturday in Toronto and then Henrik Lundqvist at home vs. the Oilers on Sunday. The previous days practice is not as good of an indication as the game day skate, but we will revisit this on Saturday.
Chiasson missed Tuesday’s game with a lower-body injury. It looked as if he was going to play because he participated in the morning skate, but he was scratched prior to warmups. Being on the ice again today suggests he will be back tomorrow.
Chiasson left practice on Monday with a lower-body injury, but was on the ice this morning for the Senators game day skate. It appeared as if he would be in the lineup, but he won't and Erik Condra will be. Consider him day-to-day.
Gibson was scheduled to start Sunday's game, but was a late scratch because he suffered an injury. He was reevaluated on Tuesday and it was determined that he suffered some kind of groin injury that will keep him out for a month and a half. The Ducks have recalled Igor Bobkov to play with Jason LaBarbera while Gibson and Frederik Andersen are sidelined.
Chiasson left practice on Monday with a foot injury, but he is back on the ice this morning which means he should be in the lineup tonight vs. Detroit. Chiasson has three goals and four assists in 10 games this season.
Gibson was the Ducks scheduled starter on Sunday night, but he suffered a lower-body injury in warmups and did not dress. Frederik Andersen did not dress either due to 'minor leg tightness' so Jason LaBarbera had to make his third start in three nights (started FRI and SAT in AHL) with goalie consultant Dwayne Roloson serving as his backup. Gibson will be examined on Monday.
Gibson has won two of three with a 1.02 GAA and .964 SV% since being recalled, so I think it safe to say he has earned tonight's start. If you were able to buy-low on Gibson last week, give yourself a high-five. He will have Jason LaBarbera as his backup tonight with Frederik Andersen out with "minor league tightness".
Talbot stopped all 12 shots that he faced in a relief effort of Henrik Lundqvist on October 12th. He only made two appearances in October, but the Rangers said he will see more playing time in the month of November. He has allowed four goals on 35 shots (.886 SV%) this season.
Despite taking part in the optional morning skate and Frederik Andersen sitting out, it looks like the Ducks will roll with Gibson tonight. He has won two of three with a 1.02 GAA and .964 SV% since being recalled, so I think it safe to say he has earned tonight's start. If you were able to buy-low on Gibson last week, give yourself a high-five.
Gibson stopped all 38 shots that he faced in the Ducks 1-0 win over the Blackhawks on Tuesday. It was an excellent game for the young netminder who has now won back-to-back starts while stopping 54 of 55 shots (.982 SV%). He should be safe to deploy tonight vs. a Blues team without Backes, Stastny or Oshie.
Gibson allowed one goal on 17 shots in a winning effort in his return to the Ducks crease last Friday. With Frederik Andersen coming off of his worst performance of the year on Sunday the Ducks to turn to Gibson tonight. It is not a favourable matchup, but he goes head-to-head with Scott Darling making his second NHL start.
Gibson allowed one goal on 17 shots in a winning effort in his return to the Ducks crease last Friday. With Frederik Andersen coming off of his worst performance of the year on Sunday, look for the Ducks to turn to Gibson tonight. It is not a favourable matchup, but he goes head-to-head with Scott Darling making his second NHL start.
Gibson will make his first start since the season opener on October 9. He made two appearances in the AHL last weekend, where he posted a 1-1-0 record with a 3.05 GAA and .902 SV%. Gibson is an elite prospect and with a great future ahead of him. He has an average matchup against the Blue Jackets who played last night.

As expected, the Ducks bring Gibson back to the NHL after spending the weekend getting some playing time with Norfolk. He went 1-1-0 with a 3.05 GAA and .902 SV% in two AHL starts, but with no back-to-backs this week and Freddie Andersen playing great, there is no telling when his next start might be.
Gibson struggled in his season debut and watched Frederik Andersen start the following two games. However, he is not going down to stay. He will start two AHL games over the weekend and then return to the Ducks next week. So that means Andersen will get the crease this weekend while Gibson refines his game in the AHL. Do not panic on Gibson, but jump on Andersen if available for the weekend.
Gibson' season opener and return to his hometown did not go as expected. He allowed six goals on 39 shots in a 6-4 loss to the Penguins last Thursday. It was a rough start, but Gibson is on the brink of being a star, so expect him to settle in and get his game on track soon. Tonight, it looks like he will face the Flyers who are 0-2-1 to start the year.
