Gibson allowed one goal on 26 shots in the Ducks win over the Avalanche on Sunday. Gibson has played solidly since returning from injury, stopping 56 of he 59 shots (.949 SV%) that he has faced in two games. He draws a tough assignment on Wednesday with St. Louis in town—the Blues are 13-3-1 in their last 17 games.
Dumoulin has missed the last three games after suffering a concussion in the Penguins’ outdoor game in Philadelphia. Dumoulin rotated on the top-pair in Monday’s practice and was a full participant in Tuesday’s morning skate, but remains a game-time decision. Dumoulin, who will likely skate with Justin Schultz if he plays, has 21 points (2G / 19A), a plus-27 rating and 78 shots on goal in 62 games this season.
Because of salary cap issues, the deal can’t officially be signed until after Monday’s trade deadline but Silfverberg’s new cap-hit is expected to be north of $5.0 million. Silfverberg has always been a player who shoots the puck a lot and has been able to maintain 2-plus shots per game even on a bad Ducks team this season, scoring 16 goals with just eight assists (24 points) in 51 games. The Ducks are expected to be sellers at the deadline but Silfverberg will be sticking around.
Fabbri was in the lineup for the last two games because Steen was out due to personal reasons, but is back in the lineup on Tuesday. Fabbri has had a really tough season, scoring just two goals and three assists (five points) in 25 games.
Fabbri has been a healthy scratch for nearly one month but will play Saturday with Alex Steen out because of personal reasons. Fabbri has had a tough time getting going this season, scoring just two goals with three assists (five points) in 23 games.
Terry has spent most of his season with San Diego, where he is second on the team with 41 points (16G / 25A) in 41 games. The 21-year-old hasn’t had the same success in the NHL, scoring once with one assist in 10 games.
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.
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 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 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).

Stalock was pulled after allowing three goals on eight shots in the Wild’s loss to the Ducks on January 17th. Stalock wrapped up January with his worst outing of the season, finishing the month at 1-2-0 with a 3.99 GAA and .865 SV%. In two appearances (one start) vs. Chicago this season, Stalock is 0-1-0 while allowing just three goals on 36 shots (.917 SV%).
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.
