Gibson (lower-body) still not practicing with the team.

The Ducks hit the ice for practice on Monday and Gibson was not among the group. Gibson skated before the practice session and he “does his routine” according to head coach Randy Carlyle. Gibson is simply skating and stretching at this point and a return to the crease doesn’t appear imminent.
