Impact Gibson was charged with the loss Tuesday in St. Louis, as he allowed three goals on 33 shots during the 3-2 regulation loss. He'll draw a second consecutive start Thursday and will face the Panthers, who rank 15th in the NHL with 3.16 goals per game to begin the year.

Allows three goals in return Gibson surrendered three goals on 33 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Blues.

Impact Gibson missed the last two games due to a lower-body injury. The 33-year-old put in a decent performance but wasn't able to get the win as the Red Wings' offense didn't keep pace. Gibson is now 4-6-1 on the year with a 3.43 GAA and an .866 save percentage over 12 starts. He'll be a risky fantasy option for the rest of the week as the Red Wings visit the Panthers on Thursday and the Lightning on Saturday.

Impact Gibson is set to miss his second straight game because of the injury. He has a 4-5-1 record, 3.46 GAA and .860 save percentage in 11 outings in 2026-27. Michal Postava is up with Detroit to serve as the No. 2 option, and Daniil Tarasov should get the bulk of the workload during Gibson's absence.

Returns to practice Friday Gibson (lower body) participated in Friday's practice session, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Gibson sustained a lower-body injury during Tuesday's game against the Lightning, and he was unavailable for Thursday's matchup against the Golden Knights. It's not yet clear whether Gibson will be able to suit up for Saturday's road game against Colorado, but he doesn't appear to be facing a long-term absence.

Considered day-to-day Head coach Todd McLellan said Thursday that Gibson (lower body) is considered day-to-day, Michael Whitaker of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Gibson exited Tuesday's game against the Lightning due to his lower-body injury. Daniil Tarasov had already been expected to start Thursday's home game against the Golden Knights, but it appears as though Gibson will be unable to dress as the backup for at least one game. Gibson continues to be evaluated by the team, per Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press, while Michal Postava will presumably serve as the backup if Tarasov is officially named the starter Thursday.

Exits Tuesday's game Gibson (lower body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Lightning.

Impact Gibson gave up two goals on 11 shots while playing all of the first period. It's not immediately obvious when he sustained the injury. If he is forced to miss additional time, Daniil Tarasov will take over as the starter and the Red Wings will need to call up a goalie from AHL Grand Rapids to fill out the roster.

Defending crease Tuesday Gibson will guard the road goal against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, per Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.

Impact Gibson will get the second half of Detroit's back-to-back after Daniil Tarasov played in Monday's 5-3 win over Florida. The 33-year-old Gibson has a 4-5-1 record, a 3.36 GAA and an .860 save percentage in 10 appearances this season. Tampa Bay (8-3-2) sits fifth in the league with 3.69 goals per game this campaign.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Fades late in Saturday's loss Gibson made just 10 saves in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Blues.

Impact The Detroit defense did a good job of keeping pucks from getting through to Gibson -- William Wallinder blocked six shots all on his own -- which made it all the more painful when the veteran netminder couldn't keep hold of a 4-2 lead in the third period. Through his first 10 outings this season, Gibson has gone 4-5-1 with a 3.37 GAA and .860 save percentage, numbers which could make it difficult for him to hang onto the top job in the Wings crease if Daniil Tarasov (1.40 GAA, .940 save percentage in four appearances) stays healthy and keeps playing well.

Named starter for Saturday's matchup Gibson will start Saturday's home game against the Blues, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Impact Gibson has alternated wins and losses across his past three appearances, but he'll attempt to pick up a second consecutive win Saturday. Across his last four outings, the 33-year-old has gone 3-1-0 with a 2.41 GAA and .892 save percentage.

Gets win against Chicago Gibson delivered 18 saves in a 4-1 win over Chicago on Thursday.

Impact Gibson has lost just once in regulation in his last five games (3-1-1) , but he's 4-4-1 with a 3.15 GAA and .874 save percentage in nine starts overall. Thursday's win was just the second full-game this season where he allowed just one goal in the contest. He's allowed four or more three times and those have all occurred in his last six starts. Gibson is consistently inconsistent and that makes him an unreliable fantasy option right now.

Set to start Thursday Gibson is slated to start Thursday's home game against Chicago, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Impact Although Daniil Tarasov (undisclosed) is healthy enough to dress for Thursday's matchup, he's set to operate as the backup, so Gibson should draw his third start in the Red Wings' last four games. Across eight appearances to begin the regular season, Gibson has gone 3-4-1 with a 3.44 GAA and .867 save percentage.

Yields four goals in loss Gibson allowed four goals on 25 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Flames.

Impact Gibson avoided a major issue after his early exit Thursday versus the Canucks amounted to something getting in his eye. The 33-year-old netminder returned to the crease Saturday and will likely see the bulk of the starts while Daniil Tarasov (undisclosed) is out of action. Gibson has a 3-4-1 record with a 3.44 GAA and an .867 save percentage over eight games this season. That's not good enough to be reliable in most fantasy formats, and he's a poor choice for managers in the Red Wings' road-trip finale in Edmonton on Monday.
