Fabbri will draw into the Blues lineup on Saturday.

The Ducks have played John Gibson (head/neck) on IR.

Ducks’ interim head coach and GM Bob Murray said that Gibson was moved to IR after being “whacked a whole bunch on one play” and is just “not right anywhere up there.” The Ducks are also without Chad Johnson right now, so Ryan Miller will return as the backup for Kevin Boyle, who will be making his NHL debut.

John Gibson
Gibson suffered and undisclosed injury Thursday in Ottawa.

Gibson was crunched in a collision with his teammate Jaycob Megna late in the second period. Gibson remained in goal for the final 1:52 of the period but was replaced by Chad Johnson for the third. The way the Ducks are playing right now, Gibson isn’t a good option regardless. Consider him questionable for Saturday’s game in Philadelphia.

Gibson will start Thursday in Ottawa.

Gibson allowed five goals on 35 shots in the Ducks loss in Toronto on Monday. Gibson is in the middle of a very difficult stretch, allowing a combined 16 goals on 80 shots (.800 SV%) in his last three games. The Ducks don’t seem to care anymore but Gibson has a chance to get back on-track tonight. He draws a great matchup in Ottawa, vs. a Sens team that played last night.

Gibson led the Ducks onto the ice for warmups.

Gibson was pulled after allowing six goals on 14 shots in the Ducks 9-3 loss in Winnipeg on Saturday. Gibson is doing his best behind a lacklustre Ducks team and things may get even worse in Toronto tonight. After November, Gibson was 9-8-4 with a 2.54 GAA (14th in the NHL) and a .927 SV% (t-5th). Since then he is 7-9-2 with a 3.31 GAA (42nd) and .899 SV% (33rd).

Gibson gave up five goals on 33 shots in the Ducks loss to the Blues on January 23rd. Gibson has fallen on hard times, going 2-7-4 with a 3.18 GAA, .903 SV% and one shutout in his last 14 starts. Gibson’s Vezina Trophy hopes seem to be slipping away because of the poor play in front of him. He comes into Saturday’s contest at 8-10-1 with a 2.62 GAA and .927 SV% on the road.

The Wild have signed Alex Stalock to a three-year extension worth $2.349 million ($783K AAV).

Stalock is in his third season with the Wild and has gone 6-5-0 with a 2.92 GAA and .894 SV% in 14 games. The Wild are comfortable with Stalock as their backup and an $783K AAV cap-hit will allow them to easily move-on in the future if need be.

Gibson will start Thursday in Minnesota.

Gibson allowed three goals on 25 shots in the Ducks loss in Detroit on Tuesday. Gibson is now 0-6-4 with a 3.37 GAA and .895 SV% in his last 11 starts and will handle the task of trying to snap Anaheim’s 12-game losing streak tonight in Minnesota. Gibson allowed five gaols on 43 shots in a 5-1 loss in his first start vs. the Wild (Nov.9).

Stalock will make his second straight start.

Stalock allowed two goals on 33 shots in the Wild’s win over the Kings on Tuesday. Following a great outing, Stalock will start again tonight vs. a Ducks team that is on an impressively bad 12-game losing streak. Stalock stopped 20 of 21 shots in a 5-1 win in his first start vs. Anaheim this season.
