Anaheim Ducks News

Gibson will start Thursday vs. the Sharks.

Gibson allowed six goals on 31 shots in the Ducks loss to the Oilers on Sunday. Gibson has lost six of his last eight starts while posting a 3.54 GAA and .897 SV%. Gibson won his first start against the Sharks while stopping 35 of 36 shots (.972 SV%).

McGinn (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision on Monday.

McGinn was not on the ice for the Hurricanes' morning skate and will be a game-time decision vs. the Senators. McGinn doesn't bring a lot of offence to the table, collecting just four points (1G / 3A) in 17 games this season, so he shouldn't be considered for your rosters anyways.

The Bruins have recalled Urho Vaakanainen from Providence (AHL) on an emergency basis.

Tore Krug was hurt late in Sunday's game vs. the Flyers, so Vaakanainen's call-up suggests that Krug will miss Tuesday's game and the 20-year-old defenseman will make his season debut. Vaakanainen was a first-round pick (No.18 overall) in 2017 and has two assists in 15 games with Providence this season.

Stalock will start Thursday in San Jose.

Stalock allowed two goals on 31 shots in the Wild's win in Anaheim on Tuesday. Stalock has outplayed Devan Dubnyk early-on but he's been pretty average, going 3-3-0 with a 2.42 GAA and .917 SV%. Even though the Sharks haven't played their best though 16 games, it's still not a great spot for Stalock.

The Red Wings have acquired Robby Fabbri from the Blues for Jacob de la Rose.

Fabbri was originally selected in the first-round (No.21 overall) back in 2015 but injuries have derailed a once promising career. After posting 18 goals and 37 points in his rookie year, Fabbri has amassed just 36 points (14G / 22A) in 92 games over the last three seasons. He has had a hard time finding playing time with the Blues but that will not be an issue in Detroit. As long as he can stay healthy, Fabrri should be able to breathe new life into his career.

Gibson led the Ducks onto the ice for warmups.

Gibson stopped 39 of 40 shots in the Ducks win over the Canucks last Friday. Gibson was able to neutralize one of the best offences in hockey right now and won for the second game in a row. He has been drastically better in Anaheim this season, going 5-1-0 with a 1.83 GAA and .948 SV%, so don't hesitate to start him vs. a Wild team that has scored the third-fewest goals (2.36 GF/gm) this season.

Gibson will start Friday vs. the Canucks.

Gibson allowed four goals on 40 shots in the Ducks win over the Jets on Tuesday. The win snapped a four-game losing streak for Gibson, who finished October at 5-6-0 with a 2.66 GAA and .920 SV%. In two starts against Vancouver last season, Gibson went 2-0-0 with a 3.52 GAA and .883 SV% but this Canucks team comes in ranked fifth in the league in goal-scoring.

Fabbri will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday.

Fabbri played 11:14 TOI on Sunday but will come out of the lineup on Wednesday with Sammy Blais returning from a thumb injury. The former first-round pick has had a very difficult time getting his career back on-track since missing the entire 2017-18 season with a knee injury.

Gibson will start Tuesday vs. the Jets.

Gibson allowed five goals on 49 shots in the Ducks loss in Vegas on Sunday. After a hot start to the season, Gibson has now lost four in a row and six of his last seven while posting a 3.21 GAA and .900 SV%. He hasn't faced the Jets this season, but was 0-2-1 with a 5.47 GAA and .817 SV% against them last season, so this rough stretch could continue.

Stalock will start Tuesday in Dallas.

Stalock allowed one goal on 31 shots in the Wild's win over the Kings on Saturday. The Wild have a back-to-back on Tuesday/Wednesday, so Stalock will start tonight with Devan Dubnyk (upper-body) making his return to the crease tomorrow. Stalock is 1-2-0 with a 2.67 GAA and .900 SV% in three road starts but faces the lowest-scoring team in the NHL tonight, so he has some promise.
