Stalock will start for the Wild on Thursday.

Stalock allowed two goals on 40 shots in the Wild’s win in New Jersey last Thursday. Stalock will start the front-end of the Wild’s Thursday/Friday back-to-back and draws a great matchup in Arizona. Stalock has gone 4-7-1 with a 3.31 GAA and .907 SV% on the road this season, but he remains a high-end option tonight.

Gibson (lower-body) will not play this weekend.

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 will start Thursday against the Devils.

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 (lower-body) was a full participant in Thursday’s practice but his status for Friday’s game is unclear.

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.
