Gibson allowed four goals on 22 shots in the Ducks loss to the Lightning last Friday. Gibson has gone 5-13-2 with a 3.36 GAA and .896 SV% in 20 road starts this season but draws a solid matchup in Ottawa. Since the Christmas break, the Senators have gone 2-6-6 while scoring just 2.57 goals per game.
Stalock allowed five goals on 25 shots in the Wild's loss to the Panthers on January 20th. Stalock has performed pretty well recently and has been good on home ice all year, going 7-2-1 with a 2.37 GAA, .914 SV% and one shutout in 12 games (10 starts). Tonight he faces a Chicago team that has won six of their last seven (6-1-0) while averaging 4.00 goals per game.
Marc-Andre Fleury has to serve a one-game suspension for skipping the All-Star game, so Dansk will serve as Malcolm Subban's backup on Friday. He'll likely return to the AHL following tonight's game.
Gibson allowed four goals on 31 shots in the Ducks loss in San Jose on Monday. Gibson has lost four of his last five outings while posting a 3.25 GAA and .899 SV%. Tonight he faces the Coyotes for the fourth time this season--he's gone 1-1-1 with a 2.62 GAA and .916 SV% in the first three meetings.
Silfverberg missed Monday's game because of the birth of their child but is back in the lineup tonight vs. the Coyotes. Silfverberg has 15 goals and 14 assists (29 points) in 44 games this season.
Gibson allowed two goals on 35 shots in the Ducks win in Nashville on January 16th. The win snapped a three-game losing streak for Gibson, who is 1-1-0 with a 3.03 GAA and .915 SV% in two games against the Sharks this season. San Jose comes in on a three-game losing streak, scoring just four goals during that time.
The Ducks are in San Jose tonight but Silfverberg stayed back in Anaheim to be with his wife while they await the birth of their child. Troy Terry, who was recalled from his conditioning stint on Sunday, is expected to replace him on a line with Adam Henrique.
Terry has been out since December 17th with a small fracture below his knee cap. Terry was originally expected to miss 10 weeks, so he made a speedy recovery. Terry absolutely lit it up during his conditioning stint, posting 10 points (3G / 7A) in seven games. The 22-year-old had eight points (3G / 5A) in 33 games with the Ducks before getting hurt.
Stalock stopped all 27 shots that he faced in the Wild's 7-0 shutout win over the Stars on Saturday night. He has won two in a row while stopping 45 of the 47 shots ( .957 SV%) that he's faced and will make his third straight start tonight vs. the Panthers. Stalock has been excellent at the Xcel Energy Center, going 7-1-1 with a 2.10 GAA and .924 SV% in 11 games (9 starts).
Stalock stopped 18 of 20 shots in the Wild's win over the Lightning on Thursday. It was a surprisingly easy night with the red-hot Lightning in town but it was enough to convince the Wild to go back to Stalock tonight vs. Dallas. He is 1-1-0 with a 3.38 GAA and .891 SV% vs. thee Stars this year.
Lundestrom has appeared in 12 straight games with the Ducks but was sent back to the AHL to make room for the potential returns of Derek Grant and/or Nick Ritchie.
Silfverberg missed the last three games with an upper-body injury but will be a game-time decision tonight in Nashville. Maxime Comtois was sent back to the AHL, opening the door for Silfverberg to return tonight.
Gibson surrendered four goals on 34 shots in the Ducks loss in St. Louis on Monday. Gibson has now lost six of his last seven games while posting a 3.41 GAA and .896 SV%. There's no denying that Gibson is as talented of a goalie as there is on this planet, but the Ducks team defense is among the worst in the NHL, making Gibson a risky option on any given night.
Stalock gave up two goals on 37 shots in the Wild's loss in Calgary last Thursday. Stalock has lost four straight while posting a 3.94 GAA and .885 SV%, so it probably isn't a good idea to start him against the hottest team in the NHL tonight. If you want to anyways, go nuts.
Gibson allowed four goals on 33 shots in the Ducks loss in Chicago on Saturday. It was the fourth time in five games that Gibson has allowed four goals, allowing a combined 18 goals on 161 shots (.888 SV%) over that span. The Ducks are just so porous defensively that Gibson barely stands a chance. He should be avoided in St. Louis, where the Blues have won eight straight while scoring 4.00 goals per game.
Gibson allowed two goals on 26 shots in the Ducks loss to the Stars on Thursday. Gibson has dropped four of his last five starts (1-3-1) while posting a 3.15 GAA and .902 SV%. Tonight he faces a Blackhawks team that has lost seven of their last 10 home games, going 3-6-1 while scoring just 2.40 goals per game.
Gibson allowed four goals on 26 shots in the Ducks win over the Predators on Sunday. He was given Tuesday night off, so there was no doubt that they'd come back to Gibson tonight vs. the Stars. In his first start against Dallas, Gibson gave up two goals on 29 shots in a 2-1 loss in late-October.
