He draws another tough matchup on Tuesday with the Ducks being +200 underdogs in Vancouver.

After much speculation across the league, Patrick Kane has decided to sign with the Detroit Red Wings. Kane underwent hip surgery in the offseason and has not played since a brief playoff run with the New York Rangers in May. It is unclear when Kane will make his Red Wings debut, but he will likely be reunited on a line with former linemate from the Chicago Blackhawks, Alex DeBrincat. Kane scored 57 points (21G / 36A) in 73 games between the Rangers and Blackhawks last season but scored above a point-per-game pace in each of his previous four seasons.

van Riemsdyk was a healthy scratch on Friday but will draw back into the lineup for the second half of the Bruins' back-to-back. van Riemsdyk, who has 13 points (5G / 8A) in 18 games, will replace Patrick Brown in the lineup after Brown was assigned to the AHL.

Moran Geekie will draw back into the Bruins lineup on Friday, allowing the 34-year-old Van Riemsdyk to rest on the front end of a back-to-back. Van Riemsdyk has been terrific this season, tallying 13 points (5G / 8A) in 18 games while seeing top powerplay deployment. He is on pace for his highest point total in a season since scoring 54 with the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2017-18.

After an early-season stretch that saw the Ducks evenly splitting time between Gibson and Lukas Dostal, Gibson will start for the fifth time in the team's last six games. It's no surprise Gibson has taken control over the Ducks' crease as the 30-year-old goaltender has been tremendous this season, highlighted by allowing only 11 goals in his last six appearances (3-3-0) along with a .942 SV%. The Ducks are slight -111 home favourites against a Montreal Canadiens team that has scored two or fewer goals in three of their last four games (0-4-0).

The Kings will turn to Talbot for the 12th time this season when they host the Blues on Saturday. Talbot was as sturdy as ever against the Panthers on Thursday, stopping 30 of the 31 shots he faced enroute to a narrow 2-1 victory. The 36-year-old netminder has enjoyed a sensational start to his Kings career, owning an 8-3-1 record to go along with his .927 SV% and 2.11 GAA. He draws another strong matchup at home on Saturday with the Kings being -180 favourites over the Blues.

Gibson has played tremendously of late but will be seriously put to the test on Friday against the Florida Panthers. In his last four games (3-1-0), Gibson has been brilliant, saving 118 of 124 shots (.952 SV%), his best stretch of play this season. That said, the Ducks, who will be without Trevor Zegras and Leo Carlsson, are +149 home underdogs against a Panthers team that, despite losing 2-1 to the Los Angeles Kings last night, has won five of their last six games (5-1-0).

Talbot has enjoyed a terrific start to the season but is coming off one of his worst starts of the season, allowing four goals on 26 shots in a loss to the Flyers last Saturday. Despite being 7-3-0 on the year, Talbot is 0-3-0 with a 3.73 GAA and .872 SV% on home ice this season. He draws a tough home matchup against the Panthers on Thursday with the Kings only being slight favourites at -130.

Talbot did not take the ice for today’s morning skate, making him tonight’s projected starter in net for the Kings. The veteran has had a terrific start to the season but is coming off one of his worst starts of the season, allowing four goals on 26 shots in a loss to the Flyers last Saturday. Despite being 7-3-0 on the year, Talbot is 0-3-0 with a 3.73 GAA and .872 SV% on home ice this season.

Gibson will start for the second consecutive game on Tuesday when the Ducks take on the Nashville Predators. Gibson has been stellar in November, saving 89 of 93 shots (.957 SV%) in three games (2-1-0) and, on the season, is currently matching his career-best save percentage set in the 2017-18 season (.926). The Ducks are rolling lately, winning seven of their last nine games (7-2-0), but are +154 road underdogs against a Predators team that has lost three straight (0-3-0), being outscored 17-10.

Gibson will reclaim his spot between the pipes on Sunday after Lukas Dostal got the nod against the Flyers on Friday. Gibson will be happy to draw a favourable home matchup on Sunday given how hard-pressed his luck has been on the year to date. The 30-year-old netminder owns a 2-4-0 record despite posting an impressive .921 SV% and a 2.41 GAA. Gibson and the Ducks are sizable favourites at -190 to pick up the victory over the Sharks, though they will have to find a way to get the puck passed a red-hot Mackenzie Blackwood.
