Gibson stopped 39 of 40 shots in the Ducks win over the Canucks last Friday. Gibson was able to neutralize one of the best offences in hockey right now and won for the second game in a row. He has been drastically better in Anaheim this season, going 5-1-0 with a 1.83 GAA and .948 SV%, so don't hesitate to start him vs. a Wild team that has scored the third-fewest goals (2.36 GF/gm) this season.

The Oilers recalled William Lagesson from Bakersfield (AHL).

Lagesson was a fourth-round pick in 2014 and has bounced all over North America and Sweden since then. The 6-foot-2, 207 lbs. defenseman played two years at UMass-Amherst before returning to his native country to play one year with Djurgardens IF and then came back to North America where he's been with the Condors. Lagesson had 27 points (8G / 19A) in 67 AHL games last year and has one assist in two games this season.
