The Jets have sent Mason Appleton to Manitoba (AHL).

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.

Mason Appleton
Talbot will start Saturday vs. the Kings.

Talbot allowed six goals on 37 shots in the Flames loss in Vegas on November 17th. David Rittich has started the last seven games but Talbot will get a start tonight vs. the Kings. He is 1-5-0 with a 3.23 GAA and .893 SV% six starts this season and isn't a great option, even against a Kings team that played last night.

Cam Talbot
Gibson will start in Arizona on Wednesday.

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.

Gibson led the Ducks onto the ice for warmups.

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.
