Gibson (undisclosed) will guard the road net against Florida on Tuesday, per Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.
Gibson left Sunday's 3-0 win over New Jersey after a collision late in the second period, but he won't miss additional action because of the issue. He earned the win in the contest after stopping all 21 of the shots he faced before his exit. Gibson has a 24-13-2 record this season with four shutouts, a 2.52 GAA and a .907 save percentage across 41 appearances. Florida sits 19th in the league with 2.97 goals per game during the 2025-26 campaign.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Set to start in New Jersey
Rotowire
Gibson will defend the road net Sunday against the Devils, per Max Bultman of The Athletic.
Gibson has allowed two goals or fewer in four of his last five appearances, going 2-2-0 with a stellar 1.63 GAA and .933 save percentage during that time. The 32-year-old netminder and his squad should have a favorable matchup Sunday, as the Devils are on the second half of a back-to-back, while the Red Wings have been off since Friday. New Jersey also ranks 29th in the NHL with 2.57 goals per game in 2025-26.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Unlikely to return to Sunday's game
Rotowire
Gibson is unlikely to return to Sunday's game against the Devils due to an undisclosed reason.
Gibson left Monday's game against Nashville early, and he exited Sunday's matchup after two periods. It's not yet clear whether his premature departure was due to an injury, but he was perfect prior to his exit, turning aside all 21 shots he saw over two periods. Cam Talbot took over in the crease to begin the third period, while it's unclear whether Gibson will be available for Tuesday's game against Florida.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Gets little help in loss
Rotowire
Gibson stopped 20 of 22 shots in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Panthers, with Florida's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
All three Panther tallies were scored by Matthew Tkachuk. Gibson otherwise looked solid in his return from a minor upper-body injury that cost him only one game, and he's allowed more than three goals only once in 17 outings since the calendar flipped to 2026, going 10-5-1 with a stellar 1.99 GAA and .924 save percentage since the beginning of January.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Patrolling crease Friday
Rotowire
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.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Available for Friday
Rotowire
Gibson (upper body) is available to play at home against Florida on Friday, per Ansar Khan of MLive.com.
It remains to be seen if Gibson will be the starter Friday, but he's an option. Detroit returned Sebastian Cossa to AHL Grand Rapids as a result of Gibson's availability. The 32-year-old Gibson has a 23-12-2 record, 2.57 GAA and .906 save percentage in 39 appearances in 2025-26.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Sitting out Wednesday
Rotowire
Gibson (upper body) will not suit up against the Golden Knights on Wednesday, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.
Gibson has appeared in eight of the Red Wings' last nine outings, going 3-3-1 with a 2.14 GAA. The 32-year-old netminder is day-to-day after skating on his own Wednesday, and he is feeling better. Still, Gibson will miss at least one contest, which will result in Cam Talbot starting, and Sebastian Cossa serving as the backup.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Believed to be fine after exit
Rotowire
Head coach Todd McLellan said after Monday's game against Nashville that Gibson (upper body) is believed to be fine but will be further evaluated when the team returns to Detroit, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Gibson exited Monday's matchup following the first period after taking a shot in his shoulder area. He didn't get feeling back right away but was walking around following the game, and McLellan didn't sound too concerned about the issue. Whether Gibson will be an option for Wednesday's matchup against the Golden Knights remains to be seen, but it at least doesn't sound like the netminder's injury is a long-term concern.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Patrolling crease against Preds
Rotowire
Gibson will defend the cage on the road versus Nashville on Monday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
Gibson has featured in seven of the Red Wings' last eight contests, posting a 3-3-1 record and 2.10 GAA, including a 21-save shutout performance against Colorado. With Cam Talbot winless in his last five contests, fantasy managers can likely expect the heavy workload for Gibson to continue into the closing weeks of the season, making him a top-end fantasy target.

Rotowire
Gibson made 26 saves in a 2-1 overtime win over Ottawa on Thursday.
The only goal that beat Gibson came on a power play in the first period. He earned the game's first star for his work. It's a great start to the stretch run for the Wings after they had lost four of five (1-3-1) heading into the Olympic break.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Expected to start Thursday
Rotowire
Gibson is slated to start on the road against Ottawa on Thursday.
Gibson has a 22-12-2 record, 2.62 GAA and .904 save percentage in 37 outings with Detroit this season. He had a rough start to the campaign that's dragged down his overall numbers -- Gibson's 16-5-1 with a 1.98 GAA and a .927 save percentage across his past 22 appearances. Ottawa is playing in its first game since the Olympic break, but the Senators were red hot with a 5-1-0 record across their last six games before the pause.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Yields three goals in loss
Rotowire
Gibson stopped 21 of 24 shots on goal in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Mammoth.
Despite the veteran netminder allowing just one goal across the final two periods, two early strikes from the Mammoth would be enough to seize momentum and grab Wednesday's victory. With the loss, Gibson now has a 22-12-2 record, a 2.62 GAA and a .904 save percentage across 37 appearances this season. After an incredible eight-game win streak spanning across the majority of January, the 32-year-old goaltender has lost four of his last five outings, but he has maintained a solid 2.59 GAA in that span. With 14 appearances since the calendar flipped to 2026, he ranks second in terms of games played among goalies. He'll have the opportunity to rest during the Olympic break, which should help him turn around his recent struggles. Due to his volume of starts and overall production, Gibson remains a top netminder in fantasy moving forward.

Rotowire
Gibson stopped 20 of 23 shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Capitals.
Gibson won eight games in a row between Jan. 5 and Jan. 24, so some kind of negative regression was expected, and he's dropped his last two outings (0-1-1) since then. With that being said, he's allowed just five goals on 44 shots in that span, so he hasn't had bad performances in the two games he didn't win. Gibson has been excellent this month with an 8-2-1 record, 1.89 GAA and .929 save percentage over 11 outings.

He's gone 9-2-0 with a 1.72 GAA and an impressive .936 save percentage during that 11-game stretch.
