Gibson starts Sunday vs. the Kings.

Gibson allowed two goals on 24 shots in the Ducks win over the Flames last Sunday. Frederik Andersen started the first two games of the week, but Gibson will wrap it up tonight vs. Los Angeles.

Faulk (leg) is not expected to play Thursday in Toronto.

Faulk limped off of the ice during Wednesday’s practice and will miss his seventh game of the Hurricanes’ last eight. His leg injury has not progressed like the Hurricanes’ had hoped, so he’ll sit tonight in Toronto. Michal Jordan is expected to be back in the lineup for Faulk.

Gibson will return to the Ducks crease on Thursday.

Gibson stopped 16 of 17 shots before getting hurt in the Ducks win in Chicago last Saturday. Gibson is 1-1-0 with a 3.68 GAA and .877 SV% in three games since the All-Star break. Tonight he will make his second start vs. the Canucks—in the first meeting he stopped all 25 shots that he faced to record his first shutout of the season.

Gibson (upper-body) is ready to return; no word if he will start Thursday.

Gibson missed the last two games with an upper-body injury that he suffered last Saturday in Chicago. Gibson’s return was foreshadowed by Anton Khudobin’s return to San Diego (AHL) on Wednesday. He shut the Canucks out earlier in the year, so don't be surprised if he gets the nod tonight.

Faulk (leg) will not travel to Ottawa.

Faulk will miss his fourth straight game with a leg injury. The Hurricanes said they’re being smart with Faulk’s injury, so he will not travel to Ottawa for Thursday’s game. He remains close to returning, but it won’t come until Friday at the earliest when the Hurricanes return home to play the Sharks.
