John Gibson News

Gibson has not been able to maintain his otherworldly pre-Olympic pace, partly due to team injuries, going 10-4-1 and posting a stellar 1.97 GAA and .924 SV% from late December to early February, but he has continued to give his team a chance. The 32-year-old Gibson has 2.28 GAA and .915 SV% in eight games since returning from the Olympic break (4-3-1), and the Red Wings will need him to continue being a stalwart if they have any intentions of returning to the playoffs. The Red Wings enter Thursday's contest as slight -100 home underdogs against a Montreal Canadiens team that is coming off a 3-2 win over the Boston Bruins to snap a two-game losing streak.

Gibson had a light night in Detroit's previous outing, but came up short, allowing three goals on 24 shots (.875 SV%), in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Dallas Stars. The 32-year-old Gibson, deterred by significant team injuries, has not been on the losing side of most games lately, losing four of his last five (1-3-1) while posting a 2.58 GAA and .902 SV%. The Red Wings, desperately battling to stay in a playoff spot, enter Monday's contest as -178 home favourites against a Calgary Flames team that has lost three of its last four games (1-3-0).

With the Red Wings' top two centers, Dylan Larkin (lower body) and Andrew Copp (lower body), expected to miss the next two weeks, the team will need Gibson to be at his best as they battle for a playoff spot. The 32-year-old Gibson has arguably been Detroit's most valuable player this season, but he struggled in his most recent outing, allowing four goals on 28 shots (.857 SV%) in a 4-3 loss to the Florida Panthers. He has a 2.23 GAA and .917 SV% in his last six appearances (2-3-0). The Red Wings enter Thursday's contest as +187 road underdogs against a reeling Tampa Bay Lightning team that is 1-6-0 in its last seven games.

Gibson did not finish Sunday's 3-0 win over the New Jersey Devils due to an undisclosed ailment, but it appears to have just been precautionary, as he will return to the crease on Tuesday against the Florida Panthers. The 32-year-old Gibson played well on Friday against the Panthers, saving 20 of 22 shots (.909 SV%), but did not receive enough goal support, ultimately losing 3-1. Gibson has a tremendous 1.41 GAA and .944 SV% in his last six appearances (3-2-0). The Red Wings enter Tuesday's contest as slight +108 road underdogs against a Panthers team that will be without leading goal scorer Sam Reinhart (undisclosed).

Gibson exited Monday's 4-2 win over the Nashville Predators in the first intermission due to an upper-body injury and did not suit up for Wednesday's game against the Vegas Golden Knights. That said, he was back at practice on Thursday and will likely tend the twine on Friday against the Florida Panthers. The 32-year-old Gibson has only lost six of his last 25 games (19-5-1), posting an impressive 2.06 GAA and .925 SV%, leading the Red Wings to a playoff spot over the past two months. The Red Wings enter Friday's contest as -142 home favourites against a struggling Panthers team that extended their losing streak to four games (0-4-0) with a 4-2 loss last night to the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Gibson will unsurprisingly get the nod between the pipes when the Red Wings return from the Olympic break on Thursday. Gibson entered the break on a sour note, allowing three goals on 24 shots in a 4-1 loss in Utah on February 4th. The 13-year-veteran owns a 22-12-2 record to go along with a .904 SV% on the season. Gibson and the Wings enter action on Thursday at +130 on the money line.

Gibson will get the nod for 37th time this season when the Red Wings travel to Utah on Wednesday. Gibson pitched a shutout in his last start, denying all 21 shots he faced in a 2-0 win in Colorado on Monday.

Gibson, the hottest goalie in the NHL over the previous two months, finds himself on a three-game losing streak (0-2-1), posting a 3.36 GAA and .852 SV%. That said, the 32-year-old Gibson still sports an impressive 2.16 GAA and .923 SV% in his last 22 games (17-4-1). The Red Wings enter Monday's contest as +169 road underdogs against a Colorado Avalanche team that handily defeated them 5-0 on Saturday.

Gibson has been one of the best goalies in the NHL since the beginning of December, but he has lost two straight (0-1-1), allowing five goals on 44 combined shots (.886 SV%). Still, the 32-year-old American goalie boasts an impressive 2.04 GAA and .927 SV% in his last 21 games (17-3-1). He will tend the twine on Saturday against the league-leading Colorado Avalanche, who are currently fighting themselves out of a rut, going 4-5-3 in their last 12 games.

Gibson allowed two goals on 21 shots (.905 SV%) in a 3-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings, a rare loss for the 32-year-old Gibson, who has been near-perfect in recent weeks. The American goalie has only lost three times in his past 20 outings (17-3-0), posting a dazzling 2.05 GAA and .930 SV%. Odds will be in Gibson's favour on Thursday against a Washington Capitals team that has lost six of its last seven games (1-5-1).

Gibson has been outstanding in recent weeks, helping the Red Wings compete for first place in the Eastern Conference, and he will return to the crease on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Kings. Since the beginning of December, Gibson leads all goalies in wins (17), save percentage (.931 SV%), and is second in goals against average (2.00 GAA).
