Red Wings' John Gibson: Posts second shutout of season
Rotowire
Gibson recorded a 26-save shutout in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blackhawks.
Gibson has all the momentum in the Red Wings' crease -- he's won five straight games, two via shutout. He's allowed 10 goals on 167 shots in that span. It took some time for Gibson to get on track, and he hasn't exactly faced juggernaut offenses during his heater, but the run is helping his confidence. The 32-year-old is up to 9-7-1 with a 3.13 GAA and an .890 save percentage over 18 starts this season. Gibson figures to start twice in the next week as the Red Wings have a pair of back-to-back sets coming up, beginning with a home sequence that sees them host the Islanders on Tuesday and the Mammoth on Wednesday.

Rotowire
Gibson stopped 34 of 37 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Flames.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Posts shutout Monday
Rotowire
Gibson recorded a 39-save shutout in Monday's 4-0 win over the Canucks.
Gibson has won three straight outings, and Monday's effort was his best of the year, albeit against a slumping Canucks team. The 32-year-old's recent success could help him claw back some playing time from Cam Talbot, as the two looked to be in a timeshare as recently as last week. Gibson is now 7-7-1 with a 3.34 GAA and an .881 save percentage through 16 appearances, so he can still be tough to trust in fantasy. That said, he has a favorable matchup ahead if he gets the start Wednesday in Calgary rather than Thursday in Edmonton.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Allows three goals in win
Rotowire
Gibson stopped 24 of 27 shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Kraken.
It was a back-and-forth game, and Patrick Kane's tally late in the third period was what made Gibson a winner. While he's allowed 22 goals over his last five games, Gibson has won two straight starts. He has alternated starts over the past week-plus with Cam Talbot, which is likely the best arrangement for both of them to stay productive. Gibson is 6-7-1 with a 3.58 GAA and an .869 save percentage over 15 starts this season. If the goaltending pattern holds, Talbot would play Monday in Vancouver while Gibson would get the nod Wednesday in Calgary in the first half of a back-to-back.

Gibson will make his third start in the last five games. The 32-year-old has given up 19 goals over his last four outings, going 1-2-1 in that span. The Kraken are a low-scoring foe, and they've scored just 12 goals in their last six games.

Rotowire

Boston fired 18 shots at Gibson in the third period as the visitors tried to mount a comeback from a 5-2 deficit, but the veteran netminder was able to withstand the barrage.

Red Wings' John Gibson: In goal Tuesday
Rotowire
Gibson will be between the home pipes Tuesday versus the Bruins, according to Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News.
Gibson hasn't won a game since Oct. 28 -- he's mired in a terrible stretch right now but will attempt to turn the tide Tuesday against a team missing some key players. Charlie McAvoy (face) and David Pastrnak (undisclosed) won't be available for the Bruins, which plays into Gibson's favor. Boston beat Detroit 3-2 in a shootout Saturday, but Cam Talbot was in goal for that game.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Another rough outing
Rotowire
Gibson made 22 saves on 27 shots in a 6-3 loss to the Lightning on Friday. The final marker was an empty-netter.
He allowed five goals. Gibson has really scuffled since starting the season 4-2-0. Starting Oct. 31, he has gone 0-5-1 in seven starts with 26 goals allowed. Gibson has allowed five goals in each of his last three starts. You must keep him stapled to your bench right now. His post-Anaheim resurrection has not begun.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Gets no help Thursday
Rotowire
Gibson stopped 21 shots in Thursday's 5-0 loss to the Islanders.
The Red Wings looked weary as they played their fourth game in the last six days, and Gibson received no support either offensively or defensively. The veteran netminder hasn't won a game since Oct. 28, going 0-4-1 over his last six outings with a 3.73 GAA and .864 save percentage, and Gibson's in danger of falling out of a timeshare with Cam Talbot, who's gone 5-1-0 with a 2.37 GAA and .904 save percentage during that same span.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Beaten five times Saturday
Rotowire
Gibson stopped 22 of 27 shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Sabres.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Sustains upper-body injury
Rotowire
Gibson (upper body) will be evaluated in the coming days after exiting Thursday's game versus the Ducks, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.
Gibson appeared to get clipped by an opposing player late in the second period and ultimately didn't return for the third. The 32-year-old allowed two goals on 17 shots prior to his exit. Gibson can be considered day-to-day until the Red Wings establish a timeline for him, but expect the team to be cautious since he has a lengthy injury history.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Expected starter for Thursday

Gibson is set to start at home against Anaheim on Wednesday, according to Max Bultman of The Athletic on Wednesday.
Gibson will attempt to get back into the win column after losing his past three outings -- he allowed nine goals on 84 shots (.893 save percentage) over that stretch. The 32-year-old netminder has a 4-5-0 record, 3.15 GAA and .882 save percentage in nine outings this year. Anaheim has been a dangerous adversary this year. The Ducks have an 11-4-1 record and rank second in goals per game with 3.94.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Struggles against low volume
Rotowire
Gibson made 15 saves on 19 shots in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Blackhawks.
Despite allowing four goals in Sunday's contest, three of those tallies came with a man advantage for Chicago, meaning Gibson allowed just one even-strength goal in garbage time. Overall, the 32-year-old has a 4-5-0 record with a 3.15 GAA and an .882 save percentage across nine appearances. After winning four of his first six appearances, Gibson has dropped three straight starts and is trending downward in fantasy. He is a risky spot start in all formats and is best left to waivers until he works his way back into the win column. Detroit's next game is at home versus Anaheim on Thursday, which would be Cam Talbot's turn in the crease, but the Red Wings may let Gibson get another look at his former team instead.
