John Gibson News

The Atlantic Division-leading Red Wings will enter the final game of the calendar year with Gibson tending the twine. The 32-year-old Gibson allowed four goals on 37 shots (.892 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 5-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes, but he has played well lately. After a horrendous start to his tenure with the Red Wings, posting a 3.45 GAA and .869 SV% in his first 15 games (7-7-1), Gibson has flipped a switch, posting a solid 2.04 GAA and .932 SV% in his last seven (6-1-0). The Red Wings enter Wednesday's contest as slight -103 home underdogs against a struggling Winnipeg Jets team that has plummeted to last place in the NHL after losing nine of their last 10 games (1-6-3).

The Atlantic Division-leading Red Wings will likely enter the final game of the calendar year with Gibson tending the twine. The 32-year-old Gibson allowed four goals on 37 shots (.892 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 5-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes, but he has played well lately. After a horrendous start to his tenure with the Red Wings, posting a 3.45 GAA and .869 SV% in his first 15 games (7-7-1), Gibson has flipped a switch, posting a solid 2.04 GAA and .932 SV% in his last seven (6-1-0).

The Red Wings are 7-2-1 in their last 10 and can attribute much of their recent success to the stellar play of Gibson between the pipes. The 32-year-old Gibson started his tenure with the Red Wings poorly, but he is starting to look like the goalie the team hoped for when they acquired him in the offseason. Gibson has won seven straight while posting an excellent 2.05 GAA and .934 SV%. The Red Wings enter the action on Tuesday as +112 home underdogs against a Dallas Stars team on a four-game winning streak.

Detroit is coming off a 4-1 loss to the Utah Mammoth, but they have been excellent lately when relying on John Gibson, who will return to the crease on Saturday against the Washington Capitals. The 32-year-old Gibson struggled early in his tenure with the Red Wings, but is sporting an exceptional 1.65 GAA and .946 SV% in his last five games (5-0-0).

The Red Wings acquired Gibson in the offseason to stabilize an inconsistent crease over the past few seasons, but early in his tenure, he had provided the opposite.

The Red Wings hope Gibson can stay hot, entering Tuesday's contest as -128 home favorites against a New York Islanders team that has won six of their last seven (6-1-0).

The Red Wings acquired Gibson in the offseason to stabilize an inconsistent crease over the past few seasons, but he added to the uncertainty early in his tenure. That said, the 32-year-old Gibson could be turning a corner, winning three straight, and coming off an outstanding 39-save performance in a 4-0 win over the Vancouver Canucks for his first shutout in a Red Wings uniform. Gibson has a 3.35 GAA and .881 SV% in 16 appearances (7-7-1). The Red Wings enter Wednesday's contest as slight -109 road favorites against a Calgary Flames team on a three-game winning streak.

The Red Wings have been abysmal defensively in recent games, allowing 4.6 goals per game over their last nine (3-4-2). They will hope Gibson can stabilize the inconsistency in their crease when he tends the twine on Monday against the Vancouver Canucks, but he has left little to be optimistic about this season, showcasing an ugly 3.58 GAA and .869 SV% in 15 appearances (6-7-1). That said, he has two straight wins despite allowing seven goals on 65 combined shots in those games (.892 SV%).

The Red Wings have been bleeding defensively lately, allowing 34 goals (3.78 GA/GP) in their last nine games (2-4-3) and have not been helped by their offseason acquisition, John Gibson. The Red Wings brought Gibson in to solidify a shaky goaltending position, but have received more of the same unreliability, posting an ugly 3.62 GAA and .868 SV% in 14 games (5-7-1). He has allowed four or more goals in four straight games (1-2-1).

The Red Wings have been abysmal defensively lately, outscored 28-12 in their last six games (1-4-1).

Still, the 32-year-old Gibson will return to the crease on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins, looking to improve an ugly 3.59 GAA and .865 SV% through 13 games (4-7-1). The Red Wings enter Tuesday's contest as -180 home favorites against an injury-depleted Bruins team that defeated them 3-2 in a shootout on Saturday.

The Red Wings acquired the 32-year-old Gibson in the offseason in hopes of solidifying their goaltending position, but he has left much to be desired, posting an ugly 3.46 GAA and .870 SV% in 12 appearances (4-6-1). That said, one of his best performances of the season came in a 2-1 overtime win over the Tampa Bay Lightning when he saved 21 of 32 shots (.969 SV%).

The Red Wings have points in four straight (3-0-1), a streak that Gibson has struggled to contribute to, but he will tend the twine on Thursday against a New York Islanders coming off a 3-2 win over the Dallas Stars. The 32-year-old Gibson has failed to record a victory in five straight appearances (0-3-1), posting a 3.20 GAA and .875 SV%. He has a 3.31 GAA and .875 SV% in 11 games this season (4-5-1).
