Gibson (lower body) won't suit up versus the Jets on Wednesday.
Gibson will miss his seventh straight game to close out the season. The oft-injured netminder is under contract for another two years at a $6.4 million cap hit. He also has a 10-team no-trade list, but his name has come up in rumors for years, and those could surface again during the offseason following the emergence of Lukas Dostal as a viable No. 1 goalie in 2024-25.

Ducks' John Gibson: Not suiting up
Rotowire
Gibson (lower body) won't play Tuesday versus the Wild.
It's looking less likely that Gibson will be able to return to the crease in 2024-25. This will be his sixth straight absence, and the Ducks' season finale is Wednesday in Winnipeg. Lukas Dostal will start Tuesday, and if Gibson remains out, look for Ville Husso to get the nod Wednesday.

Ducks' John Gibson: Unavailable against Colorado
Rotowire
Gibson (lower body) will not suit up Sunday versus the Avalanche, according to the NHL media site.
Gibson will miss his fifth straight game, and it's unclear if he'll be available again in 2024-25. The Ducks have two games left on their schedule after Sunday. Ville Husso will continue to operate in the No. 2 netminding role while Gibson is out.

Ducks' John Gibson: Out again Wednesday
Rotowire
Gibson (lower body) will not be in the lineup against Calgary on Wednesday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Since Ville Husso is getting the nod Wednesday, it will almost certainly be Lukas Dostal who defends the road cage against the Kings on Thursday in the second half of the back-to-back. As such, Gibson is unlikely to get another shot to rejoin the lineup until Sunday's clash with Colorado at the earliest -- though it's possible the Ducks decide to just shut the veteran backstop down for the rest of the year.

Gibson has been limited to just six appearances in the Ducks' 23 games since returning from the 4 Nations Face-Off, going 2-2-0 with a 3.07 GAA and .900 save percentage. Even if Gibson was healthy, he may have needed to settle for a spot on the bench down the stretch in favor of Lukas Dostal.

Ducks' John Gibson: Injured again Thursday
Rotowire
Gibson (lower body) won't finish Thursday's game versus the Flames.
It's been a recurring theme in recent years for Gibson to have a parade of injuries late in the season. This is his third injury since the 4 Nations Face-Off break. The 31-year-old allowed three goals on 26 shots over the first two periods of the contest and is in line to take the loss if the Ducks' offense can't cover his damage. If the injury is even moderate, he may be shut down for the season, as the Ducks have just seven games on the schedule after Thursday.

Ducks' John Gibson: Starting in Calgary
Rotowire
Gibson will start on the road versus the Flames, Ryan Pike of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Gibson will start for the first time in four games. He had won his previous two outings, giving up just three goals on 59 combined shots in those contests. The 31-year-old has a favorable matchup against the Flames, who have scored just 15 goals over their last six games, though they will be desperate for a win to bolster their slim playoff chances.

Ducks' John Gibson: Gets plenty of support in win
Rotowire
Gibson stopped 23 of 25 shots in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.
The hapless Bruins continue to struggle, and Gibson was able to take advantage of that with his second straight win since returning from a lower-body injury. The 31-year-old netminder has allowed three goals on 59 shots across those two games. Gibson improved to 11-10-2 with a 2.72 GAA and a .912 save percentage across 28 appearances this season. Gibson has alternated starts with Lukas Dostal since his return, so don't be surprised to see Dostal start Friday versus the Rangers.

Ducks' John Gibson: Makes 33 saves in winning return
Rotowire
Gibson stopped 33 of 34 shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
Gibson made his first appearance since March 5, when he stopped 19 of 21 shots in a 3-2 loss to the Canucks before suffering a lower-body injury. This was the Pittsburgh's native first victory since Feb. 4. The 31-year-old veteran looked excellent in this win, but it's uncertain if he'll steal the starting role out of Lukas Dostal, with both players likely splitting starts in the final weeks of the regular season.

Ducks' John Gibson: Tending twine Thursday
Rotowire
Gibson (lower body) will defend the crease on the road versus Nashville on Thursday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Gibson will suit up for the first time since facing the Canucks on March 5, a game in which he gave up two goals on 21 shots before being forced out of the game. With Gibson back in the mix, Ville Husso will be hard-pressed to see much in the way of starts, as Gibson will likely split the workload with Lukas Dostal.
