Goalie Start
Gibson led the Anaheim Ducks out for warm-ups for their season opener
Gibson enters his 10th NHL season as the starter against the Seattle Kraken Wednesday night. The 29-year-old has failed to achieve a better than .904 SV% in any of his previous three seasons while only finishing below a 3.00 GAA only once in those three years. He will look to add a win in the stat column right out of the gate as the veteran struggled to come by them a season ago (18 wins in 56 GS).

Gibson was the first goalie off of the ice at the Ducks' morning skate.

The Red Wings have assigned Simon Edvinsson to Grand Rapids (AHL).
Edvinsson was the No.6 overall pick in 2021 and enjoyed a solid preseason, recording one assist with 10 shots on goal in five games. Edvinsson will start the season in the AHL but will likely be the first defenseman to be called up when the Red Wings need a blueliner.
Gibson left Saturday's preseason game with an upper-body injury.
Gibson stopped 16 of 19 shots in the first period but was replaced by Anthony Stolarz for the start of the second period. The Ducks announced that Gibson was dealing with an upper-body injury. It's unclear if it was precautionary or if he's in danger of missing the season opener vs. Seattle on Wednesday.
Talbot will miss five-to-seven weeks with an upper-body injury.
Talbot is expected to miss at least the first month of the season. The Senators claimed Magnus Hellberg off waivers from the Kraken to help provide depth behind Anton Forsberg while Talbot is out.
The Hurricanes have signed William Lagesson to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Red Wings have re-signed Chase Pearson to a one-year, two-way contract.

McLaughlin spent four seasons with the Rockford IceHogs, finishing second on the team with 42 points (13G / 29A) in 55 games last season. He'll likely report to Springfield (AHL) for 2022-23.
The Capitals have signed Erik Gustafsson to a one-year deal worth $800K.
