Gibson will start vs. Florida on Friday.

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.
