Gibson gave up three goals on 30 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Jets. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Gibson had a 2-0 lead to protect early in the third period, but it was gone after Morgan Barron's goal at 5:55 of the frame. Gabriel Vilardi completed the Jets' come-from-behind effort with 1:42 left in regulation. Gibson' strong October is a distant memory now -- he's lost eight of his last nine decisions while giving up at least three goals in seven of his last 10 appearances. He's at a 5-12-0 record with a 2.83 GAA and a .906 save percentage through 19 games. Those ratios are improvements on his work in recent years, but he's trending in the wrong direction. The Ducks set out on a road trip next, which begins Wednesday when they visit the Islanders.

Ducks' John Gibson: Takes another loss
Rotowire
Gibson stopped 28 of 31 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche.
Gibson gave up a goal in each period as the Avalanche's top line controlled the game. The 30-year-old Gibson ended a seven-game winless skid with a shootout victory over the Avalanche on Saturday, but he couldn't best them in their own barn. He's now at 5-11-0 with a 2.82 GAA and a .906 save percentage through 18 games this season. The Ducks visit the Blackhawks on Thursday, which would be a more favorable matchup if Gibson gets the start.

Ducks' John Gibson: Ends skid with shootout win
Rotowire
Gibson turned aside 34 of 37 shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Avalanche.
Gibson had lost his last six decisions, allowing three-plus goals in four of the seven games in that span. He was a big part of the Ducks' success Saturday, overcoming a rough first period to keep the Avalanche off the board over the last 45 minutes of game action and the shootout. Gibson improved to 5-10-0 with a 2.80 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 17 outings. The American netminder will likely get a chance to repeat the effort in Tuesday's rematch in Colorado.

Ducks' John Gibson: Set to face Avalanche
Rotowire
Gibson is expected to start in Saturday's home game against Colorado, per Alyson Lozoff of Bally Sports West.
The Avalanche rank third offensively this year with 3.73 goals per game, so Gibson is being handed an unenviable task as the opposing goaltender. He has been struggling lately too, posting a mark of 0-6-0 with a 3.59 GAA and an .878 save percentage over his last seven outings. Through 16 contests overall in 2023-24, Gibson has a 4-10-0 record, 2.81 GAA and .906 save percentage.

Ducks' John Gibson: Struggles versus Capitals
Rotowire
Gibson surrendered five goals on 26 shots in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Capitals.
Gibson couldn't contain a bottom-five offense that was playing the second half of a back-to-back. The 30-year-old netminder has now lost his last six decisions amid the Ducks' eight-game losing streak as a team. This was his ugliest outing in that stretch. Gibson has a 4-10-0 record with a 2.81 GAA and a .906 save percentage through 16 appearances. The road isn't going to get much smoother in the near term -- the Ducks' next two games are both against the Avalanche, including one at the Honda Center on Saturday.

Rotowire
Gibson is slated to start at home against Washington on Thursday, Derek Lee of The Sporting Tribune reports.
Gibson has a 4-9-0 record, 2.64 GAA and .912 save percentage in 15 contests this season. He's struggled over his last six appearances, posting an 0-5-0 record with a 3.32 GAA and an .889 save percentage. Playing against the Capitals might help end that slump -- Washington ranks 31st offensively this year with just 2.32 goals per game.

Ducks' John Gibson: Skid continues
Rotowire
Gibson allowed two goals on 26 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Canucks. The third goal was an empty-netter.
Gibson has lost five of his last six outings, with the lone exception being a relief appearance in which he didn't record a decision. Brock Boeser scored in the first period and Elias Pettersson had the decisive goal early in the third. Gibson's down to 4-9-0 with a 2.64 GAA and a .912 save percentage. He's trending in the wrong direction after a solid first month of the season, but Lukas Dostal has struggled in limited action lately, so Gibson's starting role is not in question.

Ducks' John Gibson: Starting versus Vancouver
Rotowire
Gibson will protect the road goal versus the Canucks on Tuesday.
Gibson draws a tough assignment this time out, facing one of the strongest offenses and power plays in the league. The 30-year-old has given up 16 goals on 136 shots over his last five games, taking the loss in four of those contests, so he's not a particularly safe fantasy option for this matchup.

Ducks' John Gibson: Needed in relief
Rotowire
Gibson stopped eight of 10 shots in relief of Lukas Dostal in Sunday's 8-2 loss to the Oilers.
The Oilers backed off a bit after chasing Dostal, though Gibson's numbers weren't pretty either. Gibson has lost his last four decisions and allowed 16 goals over his last five outings, erasing a large portion of his strong start to the campaign. The 30-year-old is now at a 2.69 GAA and a .911 save percentage with a 4-8-0 record through 14 outings. The Ducks have another tough road matchup ahead when they visit the Canucks on Tuesday.

Ducks' John Gibson: Four straight losses
Rotowire
Gibson made 26 saves in a 5-2 loss to the Kings on Friday.
The Ducks have lost five straight, and Gibson has lost four of them. The glass slipper may be off for this early-season surprising team, but Gibson somehow manages to maintain solid numbers. He has a 2.64 GAA and .914 save percentage, despite a 4-8-0 record. If you need wins, you may need to look elsewhere.

Ducks' John Gibson: Gets start Friday
Rotowire
Gibson will be in the home crease versus LA on Friday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
Gibson is 4-7-0 but his peripherals have been outstanding this season as he has a 2.43 GAA and .921 save percentage. Gibson was 0-2-0 versus the Kings last season, giving up nine goals on 75 shots. The Kings are second in NHL scoring this season, averaging 3.94 goals per contest.

Ducks' John Gibson: Yields four goals in loss
Rotowire
Gibson gave up four goals on 28 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.
Gibson has allowed nine goals during his three-game losing streak. He gave up the decisive tally to Alex Newhook with 3:20 left in the third period of this contest. Gibson is at 4-7-0 with a 2.43 GAA and a .921 save percentage over 12 starts, but any slip in play is concerning given his poor numbers over the last few years. He's also started five of the last six contests after initially splitting time with Lukas Dostal evenly in October, presumably to keep Gibson fresher for longer. The Ducks' next game is a challenging matchup against the Kings on Friday.

Ducks' John Gibson: Patrolling crease against Habs
Rotowire
Gibson will be in goal versus Montreal at home Wednesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Gibson has dropped two straight but can't be completely blamed for the losses, having posted a decent 2.60 GAA and .925 save percentage in that pair of appearances. The Pittsburgh native should continue to see the majority of the starts for the Ducks this season ahead of backup Lukas Dostal.

Ducks' John Gibson: Falls to St. Louis
Rotowire
Gibson saved 28 of 31 shots in a 3-1 loss to St. Louis on Sunday.
This was the first time in six November outings that Gibson was tagged for more than two goals. While his record in 2023-24 is a subpar 4-6-0, he's been excelling for Anaheim, posting a 2.27 GAA and .926 save percentage in 11 contests. The Ducks just aren't an especially good offensive team -- they're averaging 2.83 goals per game -- so wins will likely remain hard to come by for Gibson despite his strong play.

Ducks' John Gibson: Draws start Sunday
Rotowire
Gibson will patrol the crease at home Sunday against the Blues.
Gibson has been on fire of late; he's given up two or fewer goals in six consecutive outings, posting a stellar 1.71 GAA and .945 save percentage during that span. The 30-year-old netminder has allowed three or fewer goals in each of his 10 appearances this season. He owns a .929 save percentage on the year despite a lackluster 4-5-0 record.

Ducks' John Gibson: Loses close contest
Rotowire
Gibson surrendered two goals on 32 shots in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Panthers.
Gibson gave up both goals in a span of 3:16 during the first period, but it was a lack of offense from the Ducks that led to the loss. The 30-year-old netminder hasn't allowed more than two goals in any of his last six appearances. He's down to a 4-5-0 record with a strong 2.18 GAA and a .928 save percentage over 10 contests. The Ducks have been careful with Gibson's workload early in the season, but he's started roughly two of every three games in November, so he may get the nod Sunday versus the Blues.

Ducks' John Gibson: Draws start Friday

Gibson will defend the home crease versus Florida on Friday, Alyson Lozoff of Bally Sports West reports.
Gibson has been outstanding this season, especially of late, as he has won three of his last four games, giving up six goals on 123 shots. Overall, Gibson is 4-4-0 with a 2.19 GAA and .927 save percentage. He is coming off the worst season of his NHL career -- he went 14-31-8 with a 3.99 GAA and .899 save percentage in 2022-23. Gibson will face the Panthers, who have found the back of the net 50 times in 16 games this year.

Ducks' John Gibson: Turns aside 29 shots for victory
Rotowire
Gibson allowed just two goals on 31 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 road victory against the Predators.
Gibson had a scoreless first period, but he fell behind 2-0 in the second frame with an early goal to Filip Forsberg, and a power-play tally to Roman Josi. However, Cam Fowler, Radko Gudas and Adam Henrique scored three unanswered even-strength goals to get Gibson off the hook. He'll probably be in a ballcap as the backup Wednesday night in Colorado, as Lukas Dostal is likely to start.
