John Gibson News

The Red Wings relied heavily on Gibson in the final months of the season, but his stellar play faded, and the Red Wings missed the postseason again. The 32-year-old Gibson led the Red Wings from early December into March, posting a stellar 2.02 GAA and .926 SV% in 28 games (20-6-1). That said, the workload clearly caught up to him, ending the season with a 3.10 GAA and .891 SV% in his last 15 (5-8-2). The Red Wings enter Wednesday's contest as -155 road favourites against a Florida Panthers team on a two-game winning streak.

Gibson allowed two goals on 15 shots before leaving Thursday's win vs. the Flyers with neck stiffness following a collision in his crease. Despite getting banged up on Thursday, Gibson will start yet again on Saturday, in a must-win game vs. New Jersey. Gibson is 14-11-3 with a 3.04 GAA and .882 SV% on home-ice this season but stopped all 21 shots in a shutout win in his only start vs. New Jersey this season.

Gibson left Thursday's game vs. Philadelphia after a scary collision with an upper-body injury but will be okay after taking a maintenance day on Friday. The 32-year-old is expected to be healthy and okay for Detroit's game vs. New Jersey and will bring his 29-20-4 record, .904 SV% and 2.64 GAA into the important matchup.

Gibson has been a game-changing in his first season in Detroit but unfortunately had to leave Thursday's game vs. Philadelphia with an upper-body injury in the 2nd period and did not return. The 32-year-old did not practice on Friday but hopes to only be out for a short time as his 29-20-4 record, alongside his 2.64 GAA and. 904 SV% has placed Detroit right in the middle of the playoff hunt.

Losing five of their last six games (1-4-1), the Red Wings have likely squandered their chance at returning to the postseason, but they will keep their slim hopes alive with Gibson tending the twine on Thursday in a pivotal meeting with the Philadelphia Flyers. Gibson saved 32 of 35 shots (.914 SV%) on Tuesday, but allowed the game-tying goal in the final seconds of an eventual 4-3 shootout loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets. Overall, the 32-year-old Gibson has had a solid inaugural season with the Red Wings, but has struggled in recent outings, posting a 3.63 GAA and .878 SV% in his last five appearances (1-3-1). The Red Wings enter Thursday's contest as -117 home favourites against a Flyers team that has outscored their opposition 11-3 in their last three games (3-0-0).

The Red Wings lost two crucial games this weekend, limiting their postseason hopes, but they remain within reach of a Wild Card spot and will likely turn to Gibson on Tuesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 32-year-old Gibson had a rough outing on Saturday, allowing three goals on 19 shots (.842 SV%) in a 4-1 loss to the New York Rangers. After an other-worldly stretch, Gibson has picked an inopportune time to struggle, posting a concerning 3.34 GAA and .879 SV% in his last seven games (2-5-0). The Red Wings enter Tuesday's contest as -108 home favourites against a struggling Blue Jackets team on a six-game losing streak (0-5-1).

With the Red Wings desperately battling to stay in playoff contention, Gibson has picked a poor time to see a decline in his play. The 32-year-old Gibson's strong 2025-26 season has arguably been the main contributor to the Red Wings' playoff optimism, but he has lost seven of his last 11 outings (4-6-1), posting a pedestrian 2.98 GAA and .895 SV%. That said, he was excellent in Thursday's crucial 4-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers, saving 32 of 34 shots (.941 SV%), and will look to carry that momentum in Saturday's outing against the New York Rangers.
