Gibson (upper-body) is ready to return; no word if he will start Thursday.

Gibson missed the last two games with an upper-body injury that he suffered last Saturday in Chicago. Gibson’s return was foreshadowed by Anton Khudobin’s return to San Diego (AHL) on Wednesday. He shut the Canucks out earlier in the year, so don't be surprised if he gets the nod tonight.

He remains close to returning, but it won’t come until Friday at the earliest when the Hurricanes return home to play the Sharks.
