Clearly head coach Bruce Boudreau has lost all faith in Jonas Hiller and it is time for the John Gibson era to begin in Anaheim. Gibson is viewed as one of the best goaltending prospects in the NHL and tonight he will make his first playoff start. He was 3-0 with a 1.33 GAA and .954 SV% with the Ducks towards the end of the regular season; along with a 4-2 record, 1.45 GAA and .955 in six AHL playoff starts with the Norfolk Admirals.

Frederik Andersen was injured in Thursday's game 3, so Gibson has been recalled incase Andersen can't play on Saturday. Gibson was an outstanding 3-0-0 with a 1.33 GAA and .954 SV% in three starts with the Ducks towards the end of the season. If Andersen is unable to play, it seems unlikely that the Ducks would go with Gibson over veteran Jonas Hiller, but you never know.

Gibson stopped 36 of 38 shots in a win over the Sharks on Wednesday. Gibson has won each of his first two NHL starts with a 1.00 GAA, .964 SV% and one shutout… Not bad. His strong play has earned him the nod in the Ducks' season finale vs. the Avalanche.

Gibson stopped all 18 shots in a 3-0 win over the Canucks in his NHL debut on Monday. Quite the debut for the NHL's top goalie prospect. He will get a second straight start tonight vs. the Sharks. San Jose is 4-4-2 in their last 10 and sit fourth in the West--three points behind Anaheim.

Gibson did not see a ton of action in his NHL debut as the Ducks carried the game to the Canucks. Anaheim's goaltending depth is exceptional, but after recording a shutout in his first start, he might get another shot on Wednesday vs. the Sharks. A more stiff test will allow the Ducks to get a better idea of where Gibson is at in his development.

Gibson will make his NHL debut tonight vs. the Canucks. The 20-year-old is in his first full AHL season and has gone 21-17-4 with a 2.34 GAA and .919 SV%. He was a second-round pick (39th overall) in 2011 and is believed to be one of the beat goaltending prospects in the NHL right now. It will be exciting to see what he can do with his first ever NHL start tonight vs. Vancouver.

It looks like Gibson will make his NHL debut tonight vs. the Canucks. The 20-year-old is in his first full AHL season and has gone 21-17-4 with a 2.34 GAA and .919 SV%. He was a second-round pick (39th overall) in 2011 and is believed to be one of the beat goaltending prospects in the NHL right now. It will be exciting to see what he can do with his first ever NHL start tonight vs. Vancouver.

Faulk, 22, has three goals and 21 assists (24 points) in 65 games this season. He was a U.S Olympian this season which speaks to his talent in the early stages of his NHL career. In 169 career NHL games, Faulk has 16 goals and 45 assists (61 points). The deal will carry an annual cap-hit of $4.9 million.

Faulk has missed the last five games, but will be back in the lineup today vs. the Bruins. He has three goals and 20 assists in 61 games this season. Mike Komisarek will come out.

Faulk has missed the last five games since suffering an upper-body injured on March 2nd. If Faulk returns, Mike Komisarek would likely be the odd-man out. Faulk has 23 points (3G / 20A) with a minus-4 rating in 61 games this season.

Faulk has missed the last four games with an upper-body injury he suffered on March 2nd in Anaheim. He took part in the Hurricanes' optional skate on Tuesday, but this is his first full practice back with the team. His status for Thursday's game remains unknown, so monitor his availability for tomorrow's game-day skate.

Faulk will miss his fourth straight game with an upper body injury that he suffered last Sunday. He is listed as day-to-day so Thursday vs. Buffalo could be a possible return date for the 21-year-old defenseman.

Faulk will not play Friday or Saturday, but monitor his status before Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

Regardless, Faulk is still questionable for Friday and Saturday's contest.

Faulk was injured in the first period of Sunday's loss to the Ducks. Expect him to miss at least Friday and Saturday's games and then be re-evaluated after that. The Hurricanes have recalled Ryan Murphy from Charlotte (AHL).

Faulk left Sunday's contest after playing just 1:46. The Hurricanes ruled out a concussion, but whatever the injury, Faulk will miss the next week and a half (roughly 5 games). Mike Komisarek will slide into the Hurricanes lineup while Faulk is sidelined.

With Jonas Hiller back from his illness, the Ducks have reassigned Gibson to Norfolk. His NHL debut will have to wait as he heads back to the AHL were he is 11-9-3 with a 2.61 GAA and .915 SV% this season.

Gibson, 20, is in his first full season in the AHL and is having a strong campaign to this point. He is 11-9-3 with a 2.61 GAA and .915 SV%. He has been recalled because the Ducks want Frederik Andersen to get more starts. Gibson will serve as the Ducks' number-2 behind the scorching Jonas Hiller. Anaheim has a back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday, there is a chance that Gibson could make his NHL debut this weekend.

The Blackhawks feasted on Chiarot in his NHL debut. He was a minus-3 in 10:47 TOI in the 5-1 loss.
