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.

Arvidsson has missed four weeks with a lower-body injury but is expected to play against the Bruins on Saturday. Arvidsson has six goals and nine assists (15 points) in 22 games this season.


Appleton was recently assigned to Manitoba after returning to full health but was called up on Wednesday with Andrew Copp going on IR. Appleton has one assist in four AHL games and no points in nine NHL games this season. He is expected to skate on the third line with Adam Lowry and Gabriel Bourque on Thursday.

Winnipeg head coach Paul Maurice announced on Wednesday that Copp is week-to-week and isn't expected to play before the Christmas break, so his move to IR opens up a roster spot for Mason Appleton to be called-up from Manitoba (AHL).

Copp was forced to leave Tuesday's game vs. the Hurricanes with an upper-body injury and head coach Paul Maurice doesn't expect him to play before Christmas. Copp will be re-evaluated and the Jets will likely release a more detailed timetable before the break.

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.

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).

Englund has no points in 11 AHL games this season and no points in nine career NHL games. He comes up to serve as the Senators No. 7 defenseman while Dylan DeMelo is sidelined with a broken finger.



Larkin is not feeling well and missed the morning skate on Thursday morning. Head coach Jeff Blashill called him doubtful but the Red Wings' No.1 centre remains a game-time decision.

Gibson gave up three goals on 33 shots in the Ducks loss in Winnipeg on Sunday. Gibson has lost three in a row and five of his last six while posting a 2.97 GAA and .891 SV%. Tonight he faces the Wild for the second time this season--he gave up three goals on 25 shots in a 4-2 loss in the first meeting and Minnesota comes into tonight having won five of their last six while scoring 4.00 goals per game.

Appleton has been on IR since mind-October but has been cleared to play, so he goes to the AHL to get some games in. Since he was last in the lineup, the Jets have added Nick Shore via waivers, bulking up their bottom-6 depth and allowing them to send Appleton to the AHL.


Gibson left Sunday's practice early and will not be available for Monday's game because he is sick. Ryan Miller will get the nod vs. the Kings and Anthony Stolarz is up from San Diego (AHL) and will serve as his backup.


Gibson stopped all 26 shots that he faced in the Ducks' shutout win over the Islanders on Monday. The win snapped an ugly two-game losing streak for Gibson, who is 3-4-1 with a 3.13 GAA and .901 SV% in November. He stopped 32 of 33 shots in a 2-1 win in his first start against the Coyotes, so don't hesitate to start him on Wednesday.
