Bibeau will be waived by the Senators on Sunday.
This news suggests Bibeau has fallen short of the backup job on the Opening Night roster. The Senators will likely roll with Anton Forsberg and Magnus Hellberg while Cam Talbot (ribs) is out for the first month or so of the season.

Avalanche's Antoine Bibeau: Shipped back to minors
Rotowire
The Avalanche assigned Bibeau to AHL Colorado on Tuesday, Mike Chambers of The Denver Post reports.
Since both Philipp Grubauer (lower body) and Pavel Francouz (concussion) are returning from injury for Tuesday's matchup against the Flames, Bibeau's services are no longer needed at the top level. While with the big club, the 25-year-old made his first NHL start since the 2016-17 campaign, recording a win despite an .875 save percentage.

Rotowire
Bibeau stopped 28 of 32 shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canucks.
Bibeau allowed goals to Alexander Edler and Brock Boeser late in the third period, but he was bailed out in overtime with a Nathan MacKinnon tally. The 25-year-old goalie has allowed five goals in about one-and-a-half games. The win was his first since the 2016-17 campaign, when Bibeau was a Maple Leaf. He'll continue to split time with Adam Werner while Philipp Grubauer (lower body) and Pavel Francouz (concussion) are sidelined.

Avalanche's Antoine Bibeau: Slated to start in Vancouver
Rotowire
According to Ryan S. Clark of The Athletic, Bibeau was the first netminder off the ice at morning skate, which suggests he'll get the start in goal in Saturday's road clash with the Canucks.
Bibeau saw his first action of the season in relief of Adam Werner in Thursday's 6-2 loss to Edmonton, stopping nine of the 10 shots he faced. The 25-year-old rookie will attempt to pick up his first win as a member of the Avalanche in a tough road matchup with a Vancouver team that's averaging 4.00 goals per game at home this campaign, second in the NHL.

Sharks' Antoine Bibeau: Reassigned to minors
Rotowire
Bibeau was demoted to AHL San Jose on Monday, TSN reports.
Bibeau will likely see himself moving up and down for as long as the Sharks and Barracuda are in the playoffs in order to serve as an emergency goaltender. The Quebec native went 16-18-3 with a .904 save percentage in 35 minor-league appearances this season. With both Martin Jones and Aaron Dell under contract next season, Bibeau figures to spend another year developing in the AHL.

Sharks' Antoine Bibeau: Makes 21 saves in win
Rotowire
Bibeau stopped 21 of 22 shots in the Sharks' 4-1 victory over Anaheim on Tuesday.
Bibeau, 24, spent last season with AHL San Jose, appearing in 43 games and posting a 23-14-2 record. It's unlikely he cracks the Opening Night roster and more than likely will be tasked with AHL duty to begin the 2018-19 season. Bibeau will need to impress in camp to have any shot at making the big club. His last NHL action came in 2016-17, as a member of the Maple Leafs.

Sharks' Antoine Bibeau: Inks two-year extension
Rotowire
Bibeau signed a two-year contract extension with the Sharks on Tuesday, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic Bay Area reports.
Bibeau finally surfaced at the NHL level during the 2016-17 campaign, posting a 1.99 GAA and a .927 save percentage in an extremely limited sample size. Despite weak number with the AHL Marlies last season (3.08 GAA, .894 save percentage), the 23-year-old has seemingly come into his own after changing organizations in the offseason, posing an 18-11-1 record with a 2.09 GAA and .928 save percentage with AHL San Jose in 2017-18. Continued success could eventually get him another look at the NHL level, but the Sharks still have a couple of netminders under contract for the future in Martin Jones and Aaron Dell.

Sharks' Antoine Bibeau: Heading out west
Rotowire
Bibeau received a one-year, two-way contract from the Sharks on Saturday.
Bibeau, who spent the majority of 2016-17 with AHL Toronto, could make a push for the backup role behind Martin Jones, but is likely facing an uphill battle to unseat Aaron Dell as the No. 2. In his two-game stint in the NHL last year, the 23-year-old went 1-1 with an impressive 1.99 GAA.

Maple Leafs' Antoine Bibeau: Sent down to AHL
Rotowire
Bibeau was sent to AHL Toronto on Sunday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.
The youngster was a part of a swap as Jhonas Enroth was called up. Bibeau looked solid in his one appearance in his brief stint, stopping 25 of 27 shots. The team likely wanted the 22-year-old to get a bit more work in the minors to continue his development, but he could find his way back to the NHL later in the year.

Rotowire

Maple Leafs' Antoine Bibeau: Recalled Tuesday
Rotowire
Bibeau was recalled from AHL Toronto on Tuesday, James Mirtle of The Athletic reports.
Bibeau has spent significant time at both the NHL and AHL levels this season, but has just one start with the Maple Leafs. He played rather well when given a chance, allowing just two goals on 28 shots against the Avalanche. However, it's unlikely the 22-year-old netminder will see enough run in the crease at the NHL level to warrant fantasy ownership in the majority of leagues.
