Gibson presumably suffered the injury at some point in the second period. He finished the second frame but did not make it out for the start of the third. Lukas Dostal will play out the remainder of the game. We should expect to receive an update on Gibson's injury and a possible timeline for his return following the completion of Thursday's game.

Talbot will start for the third straight game as the Kings attempt to snap a season-worst six-game losing streak (0-4-2). After posting an otherworldly .931 SV% in his first 18 games (12-4-2), Talbot has fallen off in a big way, with a more pedestrian .903 SV% in his last nine outings (2-5-2). The Kings will be hard-pressed to snap their losing skid on Thursday as they are +121 road underdogs against one of the league's hottest teams, the Florida Panthers, who will be searching for their eighth-straight victory.

Gibson will be back between the pipes for the first time since January 5th after Lukas Dostal got the nod in each of the Ducks' last two games. Gibson took the loss his last time out, allowing three goals on 27 shots as Anaheim fell to the Jets by a score of 3-1. He has just seven wins on the season and an NHL-leading 16 losses to go along with a .903 SV% and a 2.97 GAA. He'll have a hard time snapping a personal three-game losing streak on Thursday with the Ducks being +260 underdogs in Carolina.

Talbot will return to the crease on Tuesday as the Kings attempt to snap a season-worst five-game losing skid (0-3-2). After a surprising start to the season, Talbot was among the league's top goaltenders, boasting a gaudy .933 SV% through 17 games (12-4-1), but has since fallen back to earth, losing seven of his last nine (2-5-2), posting a pedestrian .903 SV%. That said, the Kings are still -124 road favourites against a Tampa Bay Lightning team that has lost four of their last six (2-4-0).

Copp did not practice Wednesday due to a lower-body injury and was a game-time decision Thursday vs. Los Angeles. The 29-year-old has struggled to live up to his decently sized contract as he only has five goals, 17 points, 68 SOG, 18 PIMs and a -4 plus/minus in 38 games played in 2023-24.

Bernard-Docker will be a healthy scratch for the Senators after playing 15 consecutive games, scoring five points (3G / 2A) in that stretch. Angus Crookshank and Jiri Smejkal are both expected to draw back into the Senators lineup.
