Gibson took part in full practice on Thursday but the Ducks were very tight lipped about whether or not he will be available for Friday’s contest. “I can’t really talk about it,” Gibson told reporters and head coach Randy Carlyle rarely divulges any goaltender information. Monitor his status during Friday’s morning skate, but it looks like Ryan Miller might make a fifth straight start.

Don’t look now, but Talbot has won four of his last five while stopped 143 of 156 shots (.917 SV%) and the Oilers are attempting to get back in the playoff race. Despite the wins, they will be in tough tonight in Los Angeles, where they haven’t won in their last 11 attempts.
Talbot (illness) is back in the crease tonight after missing Thursday's game against Colorado. Talbot has had his ups and downs of late; he's won three of his last five but failed to finish the game in both losses. He draws a terrible matchup tonight against Tampa Bay, the league's highest scoring team.
Gibson will miss his third straight game with a lower-body injury, leaving the starting duties to Ryan Miller. However, Gibson’s availability for the skate is a good sign that he might be available for Tuesday’s game in Buffalo.
Gibson is day-to-day with a lower-body injury so Ryan Miller will start in Ottawa and Reto Berra has been recalled from San Diego (AHL) to serve as his backup. The Ducks have not placed Gibson on IR, which suggests that it probably isn’t too serious and he could be back at for one of the next two games.
