Gibson underwent an emergency appendectomy on September 25th and is about four weeks into his original 3-6 week timeline. The American netminder has failed to produce a save percentage above .900 in each of the last two seasons and beginning 2024-25 on the Injured Reserve is a tough way to ensure a bounce-back campaign after only 13 wins in 2023-24. In addition, Lukas Dostal has been tremendous filling in for Gibson in his absence, posting a 2.48 GAA and .931 SV% in four games (2-1-1).
