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.

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.

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.

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.

The Red Wings have reassigned Moritz Seider to Grand Rapids (AHL).

Seider was loaned to Team Germany, where he served as team captain and had six assists in seven World Junior games. The 18-year-old played massive minutes for his home country and returns to the Griffins looking to build off of the 12 points (1G / 11A) he accumulated in 28 games earlier in the year.

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.
