Ducks' John Gibson: Earns third win
John Gibson stopped 18 of 20 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.The Blackhawks weren't able to get much going on offense outside of a pair of Jason Dickinson goals. Gibson faced his lightest workload of the season to earn his third straight win, and he's allowed a total of eight goals on 85 shots so far. The 31-year-old netminder has alternated started with Lukas Dostal since Gibson was activated from injured reserve, and that pattern seems likely to continue. It could benefit both netminders by helping them avoid being overworked. The Anaheim Ducks' next two games are at home -- they play the Sabres on Friday and the Kraken on Monday.

Ducks' John Gibson: Starting in Chicago
John Gibson will guard the road goal versus the Blackhawks on Tuesday, Greg Boysen of CHGO Sports reports.Gibson will get the second half of a back-to-back after Lukas Dostal picked up a 4-2 win over the Stars on Monday. Through two starts this season, Gibson has been solid, winning both outings while allowing six goals on 65 shots. The Blackhawks are a soft matchup, but the Anaheim Ducks don't tend to score a lot either, so they could struggle to offer sufficient support.

Ducks' John Gibson: Allows four goals in win
John Gibson gave up four goals on 25 shots in Friday's 6-4 win over the Red Wings.Gibson has won both of his starts since returning from an appendectomy, but this wasn't a pretty effort. The Red Wings' power play converted three times, and it took a strong third period for the Anaheim Ducks to pull off a comeback. With Lukas Dostal struggling recently, Gibson has a chance to stake his claim to at least a timeshare role. The Ducks' next two games are on the road with stops in Dallas on Monday and Chicago on Tuesday -- whichever goalie starts the latter game will be a strong streaming option.

Ducks' John Gibson: Wins season debut
John Gibson stopped 38 of 40 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.Gibson missed all of the preseason and the first month of the regular season while recovering from an appendectomy. He looked great in his return, though the Anaheim Ducks' defense didn't make his job any easier. Gibson is no stranger to heavy workloads -- over the last three seasons, the Ducks are tied for the most shots against per game at 35.0, and they're giving up slightly more (35.3) per game to begin 2024-25. Lukas Dostal has handled a starter's workload in Gibson's absence, but this could very well turn into a timeshare, which might yield the best results for both goalies. James Reimer is also on the roster, and the Ducks are under no pressure to waive him until they need an extra skater, as they are far closer to the cap floor than the ceiling. A clearer picture of Anaheim's goaltending plans could come this week as they host the Golden Knights on Wednesday and the Red Wings on Friday.

Gibson went 13-27-2 with an .888 save percentage and a 3.54 GAA over 46 regular-season outings in 2023-24.

Ducks' John Gibson: Lifted from IR
John Gibson (abdomen) has been removed from injured reserve ahead of Friday's game versus the Wild, per the NHL media site.Lukas Dostal was already confirmed to start in goal, but Gibson is eligible to dress as the backup. The 31-year-old Gibson missed the first month of the season while recovering from an appendectomy. Dostal has played well in his absence, so Gibson is unlikely to see the same kind of workload he's been able to earn in previous seasons.
