Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson made a winning debut to the season, defeating the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-2 on Sunday. He stopped 38 of 40 shots to produce a fantastic .950 save percentage. Gibson sat out the first month of action due to an appendectomy. With Gibson out of commission, Lukas Dostal has carried a heavy workload. Dostal started the campaign in wonderful form but has lost momentum lately. It will be interesting to see how the goaltending situation in Anaheim unfolds. The Ducks also have veteran James Reimer in their ranks.
John Gibson Ruled Out For 3-6 Weeks After Emergency Appendectomy
Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson will be out for 3-6 weeks after undergoing an emergency appendectomy on Wednesday night. The timeline means Gibson will miss the first games of the season at a minimum. With him out, Lukas Dostal is set to begin the year as Anaheim's No. 1. The 24-year-old has shown good upside but had a 14-23-3 record playing behind a poor team in 2023-24. He will be backed up by Danish veteran Oscar Dansk, who signed a two-way contract with the Ducks earlier in the month. Dansk last appeared in the NHL during the 2020-21 campaign.
Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson skipped the third period of Thursday's 5-1 win over Ottawa with an upper-body injury. Before getting hurt, Gibson performed well and saved all 15 shots he faced. Lukas Dostal took over the crease after the second intermission and finished with 18 saves on 19 shots. Gibson logged the victory and is now 11-19-1 for the season. The injury-prone netminder has produced a 2.98 goals-against average and sits on a .903 save percentage. Dostal, who is sporting an 8-13-1 record, will likely make his 21st start of the campaign on Saturday versus Toronto if Gibson doesn't recover in time for the game.
Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson didn't finish Thursday's 6-3 loss to Carolina after suffering an upper-body injury. He exited the contest before the third period began, finishing with 20 saves on 25 shots. Lukas Dostal stopped eight of nine shots as his replacement in the third. Gibson is a very injury-prone player, and unfortunately, it looks like he could again face a spell on the sidelines. It would be a blow for the Ducks, although Dostal has played well this season. He recently posted a franchise record with a 55-save effort against Toronto and has a 7-9-1 record for the campaign with a 3.46 goals-against average and a .903 save percentage.
John Gibson Misses Monday's Game To Attend Birth Of Child
Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson (personal) was absent from Monday's game due to the birth of his child. Gibson was taken out of Saturday's game due to illness, so hopefully he is feeling better in time for his child's birth. The Ducks don't play until Thursday against Calgary, so Gibson should be back and will likely start that game. Although the veteran is 6-13 on the season, he hasn't played poorly, holding onto a 2.85 GAA, .906 SV%, and 1.3 GSAA in 21 games. He isn't much of a fantasy asset because of the lack of wins, but in leagues where volume matters he can help out.
Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson couldn't complete Sunday's game against New Jersey due to an illness. Despite feeling under the weather, Gibson performed admirably in the two periods he played, stopping 18 of 19 shots. Lukas Dostal replaced him for the final frame and helped the team secure an impressive 5-1 road victory. Anaheim faces another game on Monday versus Detroit. Dostal was likely penciled in for the start in the contest, but Sunday's events might have changed the situation.
Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson (upper body) will sit out Wednesday's tilt against the Coyotes. He was injured in Monday's 4-3 win over Pittsburgh, giving the crease over to Lukas Dostal. Before getting hurt, Gibson had just recorded his first win of the season, and he's 1-3-0 overall with a 2.82 goals-against average and a .902 save percentage. Dostal has opened the campaign by going 4-1-0, and he was named Rookie of the Month for October on Wednesday. The Czech netminder could now get a few extra runs in between the pipes with Gibson unavailable. He will make his fifth start of the year Wednesday night, with Alex Stalock working as his backup.
Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson was knocked out from Monday's 4-3 win over Pittsburgh by an upper-body injury. He played only the first period against his hometown team, allowing one goal on seven shots. Gibson has started the season with a 1-3-0 run, and a fresh injury blow will be further cause for frustration to him. The team has yet to announce the severity of Gibson's injury. Lukas Dostal played well in Gibson's absence on Monday and will get extra burn if Anaheim's No. 1 has to spend some time on the sidelines. Dostal stopped 33 of 35 pucks versus the Penguins and now carries an impressive 4-1-0 record.
Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson (upper body) is reportedly fine after leaving Friday's preseason game early. Gibson was hurt in the second period of a 4-3 loss to Los Angeles, but it's turned out it was only an injury scare, and the Ducks No. 1 isn't expected to have any lingering issues. Gibson has been the undisputed starter in Anaheim for several seasons and has only relinquished the crease for an extended period when he's hit health issues. The 30-year-old will look to bounce back from an awful year in 2023-24, having finished last term with a 14-31-8 record and giving up 3.99 goals per game with a .899 save percentage.
Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson was removed from Friday's preseason game versus L.A. because of an upper-body injury.

Gibson has been troubled by a number of injuries through the years, and he's unfortunately suffered another blow. Lukas Dostal and Alex Stalock are Anaheim's backup options in the crease for the new season.

Up next, Gibson and his team will face the Colorado Avalanche, who have been on a hot streak, winning eight out of their last nine games. The Avalanche also ranks eighth in the NHL for shots per game, averaging 33.0.

John Gibson Becomes Anaheim's All-Time Saves Leader
Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson made history Friday night, becoming the franchise's all-time leader in saves made. He stopped 36 of 37 shots to lead the team to a 3-1 win over Calgary and now has 11,837 saves for his career with Anaheim. Gibson has been a very busy man throughout 2022-23 and leads the league with 1,518 saves. The Ducks No. 1 had three games with 50-plus saves last month alone. It's not been a great campaign for him, but Gibson has been enjoying his most recent outings, winning four of his last six starts. He is 14-24-7 for the season and has registered a 3.82 goals-against average with a .904 save percentage and one shutout.
Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson will try to get back to winning ways Friday against Calgary. He suffered a 5-2 defeat against Seattle on Tuesday after going 3-0-1 in his previous four appearances. Gibson has done well in recent outings, but the season has been a nightmare for him in general, as the Ducks No. 1 has been lit up countless times. Gibson has a 13-24-7 record and has allowed 3.89 goals per game with a .902 save percentage and one shutout. The 29-year-old has won only four away starts all season and it's unlikely that he will add to his tally Friday night.
John Gibson Helps Ducks Shock Carolina With 51 Saves
Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson put in a huge 51-save performance Saturday against Carolina to help the second-worst team in the league to a 3-2 victory against the second-best team. John Klingberg, Jakob Silfverberg and Troy Terry delivered the offense. It was great to see Gibson's hard work finally being rewarded, as this is the third time in his past six games that Gibson has been forced into at least 50 saves. The 29-year-old has been a great asset for fantasy managers in the saves department, averaging a whopping 43.1 saves per game for the month, but Gibson carries an ugly 12-23-6 record and has a 3.96 goals-against average.
Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson produced a 35-save shutout in Wednesday's 2-0 victory over Dallas. He posted his 12th career shutout with 30-plus saves, moving past Jonas Hiller for the most in franchise history. It's the first shutout of the season for Gibson, who has had a very tough time playing behind a bad team. He is carrying a lowly 7-16-3 record with a 3.81 goals-against average and a .901 save percentage. Gibson was impressive against one of the best teams in the league, but he has yet to win back-to-back starts this season, so fantasy managers shouldn't get their hopes up for Friday's clash with the Sharks.
Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson (lower body) will be back between the pipes Wednesday versus Vegas. This is going to be his first start since Dec. 13 when Gibson allowed two goals on 27 shots in a 7-0 loss to Toronto. He has been nursing a lower-body injury since then. Gibson will be hoping that the injury layoff can be something of a reset for his season because he's had a very difficult time, posting a 5-14-3 record with a 3.99 goals-against average and a .896 save percentage. History suggests that Gibson's struggle will continue on Wednesday, as he has a shocking 3-15-5 career record against the Golden Knights.
Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson (lower body) will be absent again from Friday's matchup against Calgary, but his return isn't far away anymore. Head coach Dallas Eakins hopes to have Gibson back right after the holiday break. The Ducks No. 1 was injured last week in a game and hasn't been able to play since then due to a lower-body injury. Lukas Dostal has taken over the crease, posting a 2-2-0 record. He will try to avoid a third consecutive defeat Friday. Fantasy managers will be hoping that having some time off will help Gibson to turn around his season. He's posted miserable numbers so far, going 5-14-3 with a 3.99 goals-against average and a .896 save percentage.
Anaheim Ducks goaltender Lukas Dostal has held down the fort well in John Gibson's (undisclosed) absence this week, winning back-to-back starts. He has beaten Montreal and Edmonton, producing 69 total saves. Dostal was particularly impressive against the Oilers on Saturday, helping the team to a 4-3 victory with 46 saves. These are his first two wins of the season following three starts. If Gibson remains out, Dostal will have a chance to deliver the team its first three-game winning streak of the season Tuesday against the Kings.
Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson (undisclosed) has joined the team for a trip to Nashville despite getting injured in Sunday's loss to Seattle. He exited early in the third period after allowing five goals on 19 shots. Anthony Stolarz replaced him and stopped all six shots he faced in 15:27 of ice time. Gibson has had multiple injury troubles in his career, but it looks like he escaped a serious issue here and could start Tuesday versus the Predators. Unfortunately for him, it's not been a pleasant campaign for Gibson, with the 29-year-old winning only four of his 17 starts. He has been hammered with 4.14 goals per game and Gibson's save percentage is at a very poor .890. Fantasy managers should have much better options available to them.
