Gibson will be in goal at home against the Panthers on Friday, Kevin Allen of Detroit Hockey Now reports.

Gibson started 2026 on a hot streak but has cooled off of late, going 3-3-1 with a 2.14 GAA in his last eight outings. Despite the lack of wins over that stretch, the 32-year-old backstop should continue to see the bulk of the workload for the Red Wings and could push for the 30-win mark.

Silovs stopped 21 of 25 shots in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Sabres, with Buffalo's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

After the two teams traded shorthanded goals in the first period, Silovs was hung out to dry by his teammates as the Sabres broke the game open in the second. The 24-year-old netminder saw his three-start win streak come to an end, and it was the first time he's allowed more than three goals in an outing since Jan. 4. On the season, Silovs is 13-8-8 with a 2.80 GAA and .898 save percentage.

Power produced an even-strength goal and a shorthanded assist in Thursday's 5-1 win over Pittsburgh.

Both points came in the second period as the Sabres broke open a 1-1 tie. Power has gotten onto the scoresheet in three straight games, and on the season he's delivered six goals, 21 points, 97 shots on net, 68 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating in 61 contests.

Norris scored the game-winning goal on the power play and added an even-strength assist in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Penguins.

Both points came in the second period as the Sabres broke open a 1-1 tie. Norris has been productive since returning from a rib injury after the Olympic break, picking up three goals and five points in the last five games.

Luukkonen turned aside 27 shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Penguins.

Bryan Rust spoiled his shutout bid with a shorthanded goal in the first period, but otherwise Luukkonen had little trouble with Pittsburgh's offense. The 26-year-old netminder has won four straight decisions dating back to Jan. 22, and on the season he's 14-7-2 over 24 outings with a 2.55 GAA and .910 save percentage.

Provorov scored a power-play goal and added two even-strength assists in Thursday's 4-2 win over Florida.

The 29-year-old blueliner opened the scoring in the first period before having a hand in Mathieu Olivier tallies in the second and third. It was Provorov's first multi-point performance since Dec. 6, while the power-play goal was his first of 2025-26. On the season, he's collected seven goals, 24 points, 120 shots on net, 106 blocked shots, 26 PIM and a plus-13 rating in 61 contests.

Olivier scored two goals in Thursday's 4-2 win over Florida.

The rugged winger tickled twine in the second period before flipping home an empty-netter late in the third. It's the third multi-goal performance of the season for Olivier, two of which have come since the beginning of February. On the season, he's recorded 11 goals, 20 points, 172 hits, 68 shots on net, 62 PIM, 35 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating in 48 contests.

Greaves made 26 saves in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Panthers.

The 24-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period before Niko Mikkola tipped a point shot past him. Greaves hasn't been stuck with a regulation loss since Jan. 8, and on the season he's 20-12-7 with a 2.63 GAA and .909 save percentage -- the first time in his career he's reached the 20-win plateau.

Ekblad picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Both helpers came in the third period as the Panthers tried to mount a rally from a 3-0 deficit. Ekblad has two multi-point performances in the last three games, but those are his only points since Jan. 25, and his goal drought stands at 20 games. On the season, the veteran blueliner has three goals and 25 points in 60 contests.

Tarasov stopped 24 of 27 shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jackets, with Columbus' final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Facing the team he made his NHL debut with in 2021-22, Tarasov didn't get a lot of help from his teammates, who fell behind 3-0 before finally finding a goal midway through the third period. With trade rumors swirling around Sergei Bobrovsky, there's a chance Tarasov could find himself at the top of the Panthers' depth chart the rest of the season, but his 8-10-2 record, 2.81 GAA and .902 save percentage through 21 outings don't hint at strong fantasy value in a starting role.
