Chiarot has missed the last three games but will replace Sami Niku in the lineup on Tuesday. Chiarot has four goals and four assists (eight points) with a plus-6 rating and 38 PIMS in 45 games this season.
Gibson allowed three goals on 25 shots in the Ducks loss in Detroit on Tuesday. Gibson is now 0-6-4 with a 3.37 GAA and .895 SV% in his last 11 starts and will handle the task of trying to snap Anaheim’s 12-game losing streak tonight in Minnesota. Gibson allowed five gaols on 43 shots in a 5-1 loss in his first start vs. the Wild (Nov.9).
Chiarot was not on the ice for the Jets’ morning skate and will not play on Tuesday. Luckily for the Jets, Tyler Myers is set to return from a lower-body injury of his own and will replace Chiarot on the back-end.
With Danny DeKeyser set to return to the Red Wings lineup on Tuesday, Rasmussen has been placed on IR so they could keep Filip Hronek on the roster. Rasmussen won’t play Tuesday and will probably remain out through Friday.
Gibson surrendered six goals on 35 shots in the Ducks loss to the Penguins on Friday. Gibson is now 0-5-3 with a 3.37 GAA and .898 SV% in his last nine starts as the Ducks have completely cooled off. Tonight he faces the Jets in Winnipeg—Gibson is 6-9-0 with a 2.73 GAA and .927 SV% on the road.
Gibson surrendered two goals on 30 shots in the Ducks overtime loss to the Senators on Wednesday. Gibson has not registered a win since December 17th, going 0-4-3 with a 3.00 GAA and .908 SV% in his last eight starts. That last win came against the Penguins, who he faces again tonight—he stopped 28 of 30 shots in the 4-2 win in his hometown.
Talbot was pulled after giving up four goals on 17 shots in the Oilers loss to the Sharks on Tuesday. Mikko Koskinen didn’t fare much better, so Talbot will go again tonight vs. the Panthers. Talbot has gone 1-1-0 with a 2.24 GAA, .930 SV% and one shutout in his first three appearances of the 2019 calendar year. Talbot allowed three goals on 32 shots in a 4-1 loss in his first start against the Panthers this season.
Talbot stopped all 39 shots that he faced in the Oilers shutout win in Anaheim on Sunday. After entering in relief on Saturday and standing on his head on Sunday, Talbot earned a second straight start tonight in San Jose. Talbot allowed seven goals on 40 shots vs. the Sharks right after Christmas, so look elsewhere for a reliable starter tonight.
Rasmussen was a late scratch from Sunday’s lineup and will miss his second straight game on Tuesday. Monitor the rookie’s status as the Red Wings head into their back-to-back on Friday/Saturday.
Simek has missed the last two games with a concussion but could be back Monday vs. the Kings. Simek is officially questionable so monitor his status as the Sharks hit the ice for warmups. Simek has recorded five points (1G / 4A) in 14 games since being recalled from the AHL.
