Yields four goals in loss Gibson allowed four goals on 21 shots before he was replaced by Cam Talbot in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Flyers.

Impact Gibson made his 11th straight start, but playing on consecutive days didn't go well for the 32-year-old. He exited the game after giving up Owen Tippett's hat-trick tally in the third period. This was Gibson's third loss in his last four games, and he's allowed 12 goals in that span, so it's possible his heavy workload is catching up to him. He's now at a 27-18-3 record with a 2.58 GAA and a .905 save percentage over 50 appearances this season. The Pittsburgh native seems likely to get the nod in his hometown when the Red Wings begin a three-game road trip Tuesday versus the Penguins.

Secures win over Sabres Gibson stopped 28 of 30 shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.

Impact This was an important game to win, and Gibson got the job done. The Red Wings' three-goal first period was enough support early on. Gibson has started 10 games in a row, though he's just 4-5-1 in that span. He's up to 27-17-3 with a 2.54 GAA and a .907 save percentage over 49 starts this season. The Red Wings complete a back-to-back set with a home game versus the Flyers on Saturday, which is likely to be a start for either Cam Talbot (undisclosed) or Michal Postava.

Comes up short Tuesday Gibson stopped 18 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.

Impact Ottawa took control early and built a 3-0 lead midway through the second period, and while Gibson shut the door the rest of the way, his offense couldn't close the gap. The veteran netminder has allowed more than three goals only once in 10 March outings while posting a 2.47 GAA and .909 save percentage, but he has just a 3-5-1 record to show for it.

Impact Gibson will feature in the crease for his ninth straight game Tuesday. The 32-year-old is 3-4-1 with a 2.36 GAA and a .914 save percentage over his last eight appearances. The Red Wings should have the upper hand in this matchup -- Ottawa's blue line has been decimated by injuries, and the Sens are on the second half of a back-to-back, but Dylan Larkin's (leg) availability is in question Tuesday.

Takes loss versus Bruins Gibson allowed three goals on 26 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Bruins. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Gibson had won his last two starts. He's now 1-4-0 with 13 goals allowed over his last five games versus Atlantic Division rivals. The 32-year-old dropped to 26-16-3 on the year with a 2.54 GAA and a .907 save percentage across 47 appearances. The Red Wings' next game is Tuesday versus the Senators, and Gibson can be expected to get the nod again for that one, as head coach Todd McLellan has been relying on the netminder significantly since the Olympic break.

Slated to start Thursday Gibson is expected to defend the home crease versus Montreal on Thursday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Impact Gibson snapped a three-game winless streak Monday, turning aside 25 shots in a 5-2 victory over Calgary. The win boosted Gibson's record to 25-15-3 with a 2.56 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 45 games this season.

Back in win column Tuesday Gibson turned aside 26 of 28 shots on goal in Monday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Gibson earned his first win since Mar. 8 with Tuesday's victory, where he bounced back in the second period and beyond after allowing the game's opening tally in the first. The win brought him up to a 25-15-3 record, a 2.56 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 45 games this season. The 32-year-old netminder is on pace to make 50 appearances or more this season for the first time since the 2022-23 campaign. With the Red Wings finding their stride again, Gibson still has time to challenge his career-best 31 wins, which he earned across 60 regular-season appearances during the 2017-18 season. He holds solid fantasy value in most standard leagues for the remainder of the regular season.
