Lundestrom has appeared in 12 straight games with the Ducks but was sent back to the AHL to make room for the potential returns of Derek Grant and/or Nick Ritchie.
Silfverberg missed the last three games with an upper-body injury but will be a game-time decision tonight in Nashville. Maxime Comtois was sent back to the AHL, opening the door for Silfverberg to return tonight.
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.
Stalock gave up two goals on 37 shots in the Wild's loss in Calgary last Thursday. Stalock has lost four straight while posting a 3.94 GAA and .885 SV%, so it probably isn't a good idea to start him against the hottest team in the NHL tonight. If you want to anyways, go nuts.
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.
Gibson allowed two goals on 26 shots in the Ducks loss to the Stars on Thursday. Gibson has dropped four of his last five starts (1-3-1) while posting a 3.15 GAA and .902 SV%.

Stalock allowed four goals on 37 shots in the Wild's loss to the Flames on Sunday. Stalock has lost three in a row 0-2-1 while allowing a combined 13 goals on 94 shots (.862 SV%).

Silfverberg was hurt early in Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jackets and will not play on Thursday. With Silfverberg dealing with an upper-body injury, Maxime Comtois is expected to play on the Ducks' second line.
