Gibson is battling an illness and was not at practice on Friday. Lukas Dostal will likely be between the pipes if Gibson misses any time. The Ducks return to the ice on Saturday against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Carlsson was limited to only 11:41 time-on-ice before exiting Sunday's 5-4 win over Utah HC with an undisclosed injury. The second-year forward has 12 points (7G / 5A) in 26 games this season and has only one point (1G / 0A) in his last seven.

On the tail end of a back-to-back, a night after an impressive 5-4 come-from-behind victory over the Utah Hockey Club, Gibson will be in the crease for the Ducks. The 31-year-old Gibson has a serviceable 3.01 GAA and .903 SV% in 11 games this season (5-5-1) but has battled adversity lately, allowing three or more goals in five straight (1-4-0), posting a subpar .889 SV%. The Ducks enter Monday's contest as +280 road underdogs against a Vegas Golden Knights club that defeated them 4-1 on December 4th.
The Ducks are riding a two-game winning streak and will turn to Gibson between the pipes on Friday against the Colorado Avalanche. Gibson was solid in his most recent outing, saving 39 of 42 shots (.929 SV%) in a 4-3 overtime win against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 31-year-old netminder has a 3.00 GAA and .906 SV% in 10 games this season (5-4-1). The Ducks enter Friday's contest as +201 home underdogs against an Avalanche club that played last night and defeated the San Jose Sharks 4-2.
Ross Johnston draw back into the Ducks lineup on Wednesday against the Winnipeg Jets, sending Leason to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 25-year-old Leason has been productive from a depth role for the Ducks this season, scoring 10 points (3G / 7A) in 24 games.
Brett Leason will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday against the Winnipeg Jets, allowing Johnston to re-enter the lineup. The 21-year-old Johnston will return from a one-game absence looking to add to his four points (1G / 3A) through 21 games this season.
The Ducks snapped a five-game losing skid in their previous outing, a 4-3 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets with John Gibson in net, but they will turn to Dostal between the pipes on Wednesday against the Winnipeg Jets. The 24-year-old Dostal has given the Ducks a chance to win on most nights, posting a solid 2.69 GAA and .920 SV% in 17 games (6-8-3). The Ducks enter Wednesday's contest as +139 home underdogs against a Jets team that played last night, defeating the San Jose Sharks 4-3.
Colangelo was sent down in order to make room on the roster for Robby Fabbri, who was surprisingly activated from injured reserve as he is set to return against the Maple Leafs on Thursday. Colangelo is yet to register a point in eight NHL games this season.
Johnston will take a seat on Thursday in order to make room for Robby Fabbri's return from a knee injury. Johnston has one goal and three assists in 21 games this season.
Lacombe will immediately re-enter Anaheim's lineup after sitting out Wednesday night's game in Ottawa. Olen Zellweger will somewhat surprisingly be healthy scratched in Lacombe's place.
Zellweger was a surprise absence on Thursday and was not announced as a scratch prior to warmups. Jackson Lacombe will draw into the lineup in his place while Pavel Mintyukov will likely fill Zellweger's spot on Anaheim's first power-play unit.
Fabbri hasn't placed since November 10th after underdoing knee surgery and was a surprise addition to the Ducks lineup on Thursday. The nine-year-veteran has just two goals and zero assists in 14 games this season.
