Coach Randy Carlyle provided no further update but added that Gibson will likely be put on injured reserve. The Ducks are scheduled for four days off after their game against Edmonton on Sunday, which should hopefully stop Gibson from missing too much time.
Stalock hasn’t played since a 6-1 loss to the Stars on February 3rd, where he gave up four goals on 29 shots before being relieved by Devan Dubnyk. Despite the poor effort his last time out, Stalock has been a serviceable backup for the Wild this year, posting a .914 SV%. He draws a decent matchup tonight in New Jersey.
Gibson was excellent again on Saturday, stopping 36 of 38 shots in the Ducks’ 3-2 victory over the Wild. Gibson has surrendered two goals or less in six straight starts for the Ducks. He draws a tough matchup tonight in Vegas.

Gibson was phenomenal against the Blackhawks on Thursday, turning away 42 of 44 shots en route to a 3-2 Ducks’ victory. Gibson has played well in the four games he’s played since returning from injury, posting a .939 SV% over that span. He draws a decent matchup this afternoon in Minnesota.
Gibson failed to pick up the win in Detroit on Tuesday despite facing just 16 shots. He’s played relatively well in the three games he’s played since returning from a lower-body injury, posting a .931 SV%. He has a good chance of getting back in the win column tonight in Chicago.
Gibson allowed two goals on 39 shots in the Ducks shootout loss to the Sharks on Sunday. It was a tough loss for Gibson, who has stopped 67 of 71 shots (.944 SV%) since returning to the Ducks’ crease over the weekend. He has a good matchup in Detroit tonight and makes for a solid start despite decent road numbers—2.49 GAA and .923 SV% in 16 games.
Gibson stopped all 25 shots that he faced before leaving the Ducks win in Boston on January 30th with a lower-body injury. Gibson went on to miss the last four games, but is expected to start tonight vs. the Oilers. Gibson will be returning against an Oilers team that is still trying to keep their season alive—he stopped 33 of 34 shots in a 2-1 shootout loss to Edmonton on January 4th.

Gibson took part in full practice on Thursday but the Ducks were very tight lipped about whether or not he will be available for Friday’s contest. “I can’t really talk about it,” Gibson told reporters and head coach Randy Carlyle rarely divulges any goaltender information. Monitor his status during Friday’s morning skate, but it looks like Ryan Miller might make a fifth straight start.
Johnston has been a healthy scratch for the last four games, but will replace Alan Quine tonight in Buffalo. Johnston has one goal and one assist despite averaging 7:36 TOI in his first three games with the Islanders this season.
Vatrano recorded one shot in 4:53 TOI before leaving last night’s game in Detroit. Vatrano is listed as doubtful with a lower-body injury, but there was a good chance he came out anyways with Brad Marchand returning from a five-game suspension.
Gibson will miss his third straight game with a lower-body injury, leaving the starting duties to Ryan Miller. However, Gibson’s availability for the skate is a good sign that he might be available for Tuesday’s game in Buffalo.
Gibson is day-to-day with a lower-body injury so Ryan Miller will start in Ottawa and Reto Berra has been recalled from San Diego (AHL) to serve as his backup. The Ducks have not placed Gibson on IR, which suggests that it probably isn’t too serious and he could be back at for one of the next two games.
