Gibson was crunched in a collision with his teammate Jaycob Megna late in the second period. Gibson remained in goal for the final 1:52 of the period but was replaced by Chad Johnson for the third. The way the Ducks are playing right now, Gibson isn’t a good option regardless. Consider him questionable for Saturday’s game in Philadelphia.
Hamonic missed Sunday’s game in Carolina after getting hurt last Friday in Washington. Hamonic was on the ice for Wednesday’s practice and today’s morning skate but remains a game-time decision.
Rasmussen missed some time with a hamstring injury and went to the AHL during the All-Star break. Rasmussen, who has 13 points (6G / 7A) in 41 games during his rookie season, picked up two goals in three games with the Griffins.
Larkin missed Saturday’s game in Ottawa with an oblique injury that he suffered in overtime vs. the Maple Leafs last Friday. The Red Wings are a totally different team without Larkin so they will need him tonight if they want any chance against the Golden Knights.

Gibson is in the middle of a very difficult stretch, allowing a combined 16 goals on 80 shots (.800 SV%) in his last three games.

Talbot was pulled after allowing four goals on 27 shots in the Oilers loss to the Blackhawks on Tuesday. In his last four outings, Talbot has gone 0-2-1 with a 5.07 GAA and .864 SV%. Even facing a Wild team that is 13-13-1 on the road this season, Talbot should likely be left on you bench or on the waiver-wire.

Tonight he plays a Blackhawks team that has won four in a row. Chicago’s power-play is also clicking at a 37.8% clip since January 1st—Edmonton’s PK is at 71.4% (worst in the NHL) over that same span.

Since then he is 7-9-2 with a 3.31 GAA (42nd) and .899 SV% (33rd).
