Rotowire
Gibson will be between the home pipes Tuesday versus the Bruins, according to Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News.
Gibson hasn't won a game since Oct. 28 -- he's mired in a terrible stretch right now but will attempt to turn the tide Tuesday against a team missing some key players. Charlie McAvoy (face) and David Pastrnak (undisclosed) won't be available for the Bruins, which plays into Gibson's favor. Boston beat Detroit 3-2 in a shootout Saturday, but Cam Talbot was in goal for that game.

Rotowire
Gibson stopped 21 shots in Thursday's 5-0 loss to the Islanders.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Sustains upper-body injury
Rotowire
Gibson (upper body) will be evaluated in the coming days after exiting Thursday's game versus the Ducks, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.
Gibson appeared to get clipped by an opposing player late in the second period and ultimately didn't return for the third. The 32-year-old allowed two goals on 17 shots prior to his exit. Gibson can be considered day-to-day until the Red Wings establish a timeline for him, but expect the team to be cautious since he has a lengthy injury history.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Struggles against low volume
Rotowire
Gibson made 15 saves on 19 shots in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Blackhawks.
Despite allowing four goals in Sunday's contest, three of those tallies came with a man advantage for Chicago, meaning Gibson allowed just one even-strength goal in garbage time. Overall, the 32-year-old has a 4-5-0 record with a 3.15 GAA and an .882 save percentage across nine appearances. After winning four of his first six appearances, Gibson has dropped three straight starts and is trending downward in fantasy. He is a risky spot start in all formats and is best left to waivers until he works his way back into the win column. Detroit's next game is at home versus Anaheim on Thursday, which would be Cam Talbot's turn in the crease, but the Red Wings may let Gibson get another look at his former team instead.

Red Wings' John Gibson: In goal for Sunday
Rotowire
Gibson will patrol the home crease versus Chicago on Sunday, according to Ansar Khan of MLive.com.

Overall, Gibson is 4-4-0 with a 3.03 GAA and an .890 save percentage over eight starts this season. The Blackhawks are 14th in NHL scoring, averaging 3.20 goals per game, a vast improvement over 2023-24 when they were 26th in the league, scoring at a 2.73 goals-per-game pace.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Gets no support in loss
Rotowire
Gibson stopped 33 of 34 shots in Tuesday's 1-0 loss to the Golden Knights.
Gibson put in a good performance, but the Red Wings were unable to get a puck past Akira Schmid in the other crease. This was arguably one of Gibson's best performances of the season despite the unfortunate result. He's now 4-4-0 with a 3.03 GAA and an .890 save percentage across eight starts. The Red Wings have alternated goalies over the last week, so it wouldn't be surprising to see that trend continue. If it holds, Cam Talbot would face the Rangers on Friday, and Gibson's next start would come against the Blackhawks on Sunday for the first two games of Detroit's upcoming homestand.

Rotowire
Gibson allowed four goals on 31 shots in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Ducks. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Gibson has allowed four goals in three of his last four outings, so he's a bit lucky to be 2-2-0 in that span.

Gibson is 4-3-0 with a 3.32 GAA and an .875 save percentage over seven appearances. The Red Wings visit the Sharks on Sunday, but they haven't announced a starting goalie for that contest at this time.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Beaten four times, picks up win
Rotowire
Gibson stopped 25 of 29 shots in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Blues.
Gibson was beaten four times between the first period and the early stages of the second frame. However, he shut the door afterward, and after receiving support from an offense that scored six unanswered goals, he ended up claiming the win. Despite winning three of his five starts this season, Gibson hasn't been a reliable presence between the pipes for Detroit. He's allowed at least four goals in three of those outings while stopping 107 of the 123 shots he's faced thus far.
