Gibson stopped 49 of 51 shots in the Ducks 6-2 win over the Canadiens last Friday. It was an real busy night for Gibson, but he’ll start again tonight thanks to getting the weekend off. After a tough start to the season, Gibson has now won two of his last five with an impressive 2.12 GAA and .947 SV%. However, he draws a tough test tonight in Philadelphia.
Fowler was hurt in Friday’s game vs. the Canadiens, but the Ducks have yet to determine how long their star defenseman will be sidelined. The injuries continue to mount for the Ducks as Fowler joins Hampus Lindholm and Sami Vatanen as banged up Ducks’ defensemen. With Fowler out, Brandon Montour becomes a must-add in fantasy circles.
Gibson allowed two goals on 30 shots in the Ducks’ loss to the Sabres on Sunday. Despite posting a steady 2.66 GAA and .924 SV% in his first six games of the season, Gibson sits at 2-2-1. Luckily for him, the Montreal Canadiens are in town and no offence has been as offensively challenged as them so far—they are averaging just 1.43 goals for per game in their first seven contests.

Gibson allowed two goals on 41 shots in the Ducks’ win over the Islanders on Wednesday. Gibson was really busy in this one, but half firm and earned his second victory in four starts to begin the season. Gibson has a 2.79 GAA and .920 SV% so far and tonight he faces an Avalanche team that has gotten off to a surprisingly good start.
Gibson allowed two goals on 29 shots in the Ducks’ loss to Calgary on Monday. Gibson didn’t get any offence in this one and is now 1-1-1 with a 3.05 GAA and .906 SV% in three starts to begin the year. Tonight he will take on an Islanders team that is also 1-1-1 while averaging 2.67 goals for per game.
Gibson allowed three goals on 37 shots in the Ducks’ overtime loss to the Flyers on Saturday. In the early part of the season, Gibson has gone 1-0-1 with a 3.48 GAA and .896 SV% and tonight he’ll start his third straight game vs. the Flames. Calgary has opened the season 1-1-0 with six goals for.
Gibson allowed four goals on 30 shots in the Ducks’ win over Arizona on Thursday. The Ducks got off to a slow start but settled in late in the second and took over in the third. It wasn’t a great start, but Gibson will see a lot of action while he’s healthy and should win far more frequently than not.
Last season, Stalock spent most of the season with Iowa (AHL), where he went 23-17-1 with a 2.28 GAA and .926 SV%. It was a strong season for the former Sharks’ backup, who has a 2.35 GAA and .912 SV% in his 64-game career. He draws a pretty difficult matchup in his first start as the young Hurricanes are expected to bring a lot of offence this season.
In 2016-17, Gibson started a career-high 49 games and went 25-16-9 with a 2.22 GAA and .924 SV%. The 24-year-old has an impressive 2.22 GAA and .924 SV% in his 111 career starts and he could easily be a top-5 fantasy netminder if he could stay healthy and start 60-plus games. He will face the Coyotes in his opening night start, but the Ducks are five of their top players—Ryan Getzlaf, Ryan Kesler, Patrick Eaves, Sami Vatanen and Hampus Lindholm.
Fabbri underwent knee surgery after suffering an ACL injury last February and will have to have another surgery after re-injuring the knee in training camp. Fabbri was reportedly told that he had a 3% chance of re-injury and unfortunately the young forward fell into that percentage. With Fabbri out for the season, the Blues have discussed signing Jaromir Jagr.
Fabbri is coming off of a knee ligament injury in February and re-injured the surgically repaired knee in training camp. Fabbri was a late scratch prior to the Blues’ first preseason game and will miss the rest of the preseason. Fabbri was expected to get a look at centre, but with him joining Alex Steen and Patrik Berglund on the sideline, that leaves the Blues with Paul Stastny, Brayden Schenn, Wade Megan and Kyle Brodziak as their centre options.
Fowler has been a part of trade rumours for years but we can put those to bed after inking an eight-year pact with the Ducks. In 2016-17, Fowler set a career-high with 11 goals and 39 points in 80 games. Fowler has No.1 fantasy defenseman upside, but should be selected as a No.2.
