John Gibson (personal) is back with Anaheim and will backup Thursday vs. Calgary.

Gibson was away from the team on Monday to attend the birth of his child but has returned to the Ducks and will serve as the backup to Lukas Dostal against the Calgary Flames on Thursday. In his last outing, Gibson allowed one goal on 19 shots before leaving due to dehydration on Sunday against the New Jersey Devils.

Cam Talbot is expected to start Wednesday vs. Seattle.

Talbot will return to the Kings' starters crease after backing up last game as he takes on Seattle Wednesday. The 36-year-old signed a one-year, $1 million contract in the offseason which has payed off fruitfully for the Kings as Talbot has been one of the leagues best goaltenders with his 13-5-2 record, .926 SV% and 2.02 GAA. He will host the Seattle Kraken Wednesday, who have lost two straight games and are struggling to score being 28th in the NHL in goals per game (2.7).

John Gibson (personal) has been placed on the Ducks' non-roster to attend the birth of his child.

Gibson allowed one goal on 19 shots before leaving Sunday's win in New Jersey due to dehydration. Lukas Dostal stopped all 10 shots that he faced in relief. The Ducks recalled Calle Clang from the San Diego Gulls (AHL) on Monday to serve as the backup for Lukas Dostal, as Gibson will be away from the team to attend the birth of his child.

Gibson (dehydration) left Sunday's game and is questionable to be available for Monday.

Gibson allowed one goal on 19 shots before leaving Sunday's win in New Jersey due to dehydration. Lukas Dostal stopped all 10 shots that he faced in relief. Since Gibson played just two periods and played well, there's a chance that they go back to Gibson on Monday if he's feeling better. That said, the Ducks recalled Calle Clang from the San Diego Gulls (AHL) on Monday, suggesting that Gibson might be unavailable.

Dylan Larkin (upper body) will return to the Red Wings' lineup Monday vs. Anaheim.

Larkin suffered an upper-body injury on December 9th and subsequently missed four games but will return to action on Monday against the Anaheim Ducks. The Red Wings struggled in Larkin's absence, being outscored 18-11 in five games (1-4-0). At morning skate on Monday, Larkin was centring a line with Joe Veleno and Patrick Kane and occupying a spot on the top powerplay unit. Before his injury, Larkin was riding a six-game point streak, scoring eight points (6G / 2A) in the process.

JT Compher (undisclosed) has been activated from the Injured Reserve and is expected to play Saturday.

Earlier this week, Red Wings head coach Derek Lalonde stated that Compher could be available to return on Thursday, but after not playing on Thursday, he appears ready to return on Saturday. He has been a full participant at the last few practices for the Red Wings, centring a line with Alex DeBrincat and Patrick Kane. The 28-year-old Compher is pacing for the best season of his career with 19 points (6G / 13A) in 24 games.

Jonatan Berggren has been reassigned to Grand Rapids (AHL).

With both JT Compher (undisclosed) and Klim Kostin (undisclosed) expected to return from the IR Saturday, Jonatan Bergegren was the odd man out of the Red Wings' Roster as he was reassigned to Grand Rapids (AHL) Friday. The 23-year-old had played well in his seven games with Detroit, with two goals, four points, eight SOG and a +4 plus/minus.

Dylan Larkin (upper body) was back in a non-contact jersey Thursday but is unavailable for the weekend and will be reevaluated next week.

Although in a non-contact jersey, Larkin's presence at practice was a positive sign for the Red Wings as he appears to have avoided a worst-case injury. Larkin will not play this weekend and will be re-evaluated next week. Before his injury, Larkin had eight points (6G / 2A) during a six-game point streak.

JT Compher (undisclosed) was a full participant in the Red Wings' practice Thursday but will not play vs. Carolina.

Earlier this week, Red Wings head coach Derek Lalonde stated that Compher could be available to return on Thursday but it looks more to be a Saturday activity after it was announced he was not quite ready after practice. After being a full participant at practice on Thursday, centring a line with Alex DeBrincat and Patrick Kane, Compher appeared to be on track to return to action but will delay that one more game. The 28-year-old Compher is pacing for the best season of his career with 19 points (6G / 13A) in 24 games.
