In net Saturday Gibson (neck) will protect the home net against New Jersey on Saturday, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

Impact Gibson will return to the crease after leaving Thursday's 6-3 win over Philadelphia. He has earned a 29-20-4 record this season with a 2.64 GAA and a .904 save percentage across 55 appearances. Since the start of March, the Devils rank fourth in the league with 3.63 goals per game.

Dealing with neck stiffness Gibson left Thursday's game versus the Flyers due to neck stiffness after a collision in his crease, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Head coach Todd McLellan added that Gibson is not in concussion protocol, which is a big positive. Gibson is expected to be fine but will be monitored in the coming days to see how he recovers. It's unclear if he'll be able to play Saturday versus the Devils, but if he's healthy, expect him to be in uniform since the Red Wings are still battling for a playoff spot.

Larkin's hat trick, Seider's career night lead Red Wings to crucial win over Flyers, 6-2

Exits Thursday's game Gibson (undisclosed) left Thursday's game against Philadelphia and is questionable to return.

Impact Gibson stopped 13 of 15 shots before exiting the match midway through the second period. Cam Talbot stepped into the game as a result of Gibson's injury. The Red Wings have been leaning heavily on Gibson, using him in 16 of their past 17 games, including Thursday's action, but if he's forced to miss time, then Talbot will assume the No. 1 duties. Detroit is battling to earn the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. After the tilt against Philadelphia, Detroit will have three games remaining on its regular-season schedule.

Starting Thursday Gibson will patrol the home crease versus Philadelphia on Thursday, per Ansar Khan of MLive.com.

Impact Gibson is 2-5-1 in his last eight starts, as the Red Wings are now chasing a playoff spot. Gibson is 28-20-4 with four shutouts, a 2.63 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 54 games this season. The Flyers have won three games in a row, to move into third place in the Metropolitan Division with four games remaining in the season.

Loses battle in SO Gibson halted 32 of 35 shots on net in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Gibson kept Tuesday's contest competitive all the way until the shootout, where he allowed three tallies on five attempts in the losing effort. Overall, the 32-year-old netminder now has a 28-20-4 record, a 2.63 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 54 outings this season. Despite finding the win column just five times in his last 15 outings, Gibson has maintained solid numbers during that span with a .901 save percentage and a 2.77 GAA. He'll likely see a few more starts while the Red Wings vie for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, which would give him a chance to reach the 30-win mark for the second time in his 12-year NHL career.

Tending twine Tuesday Gibson will defend the cage for Tuesday's home clash with the Blue Jackets, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Gibson appeared in 14 straight games prior to getting the night off versus the Wild on Sunday. In those contests, the Pittsburgh native went 5-8-1 with a 2.77 GAA and one shutout. If Gibson can secure two more wins down the stretch, he will get over the 30-win threshold for the first time since 2017-18 when he was with the Ducks.

Not enough support in loss Gibson made 16 saves on 19 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Rangers. New York's fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Gibson didn't play poorly; Jonathan Quick was simply spectacular at the other end of the rink. And the Red Wings didn't solve Quick until the 19:27 mark of the third. Heading into the game, Detroit was in a four-way tie with Columbus, Ottawa and Philly for the second wild card in the East. Gibson is 1-3-0 in his last four starts with 12 goals allowed. He needs to be near-perfect to help his team get into the postseason.

Red Wings' playoff pursuit takes a hit with a 4-1 loss to the already-eliminated Rangers

Failing to score until there were 32 seconds left, the Detroit Red Wings lost an important game in their pursuit of a playoff spot, 4-1 at the New York Rangers

Set to start Saturday Gibson will start Saturday's road game against the Rangers, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Gibson has gone 2-4-0 with a 3.36 GAA and .884 save percentage over his last six appearances, but he's coming off a win over Anaheim on Thursday in which he allowed just two goals on 34 shots (.941 save percentage). The Rangers are generating 2.82 goals per game this year, which is the ninth-worst mark in the league.

Picks up big win Thursday Gibson turned aside 32 shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Flyers.

Impact The victory allowed the Red Wings to keep pace with the Senators in the battle for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. Gibson has allowed more than three goals only once in his last 10 outings, going 4-5-1 over that stretch with a 2.86 GAA and .899 save percentage. Detroit has seven games left on its schedule, and the veteran netminder needs three more wins to tie the career-high 31 he recorded for Anaheim in 2017-18.

Between pipes Thursday Gibson will tend the twine on the road against the Flyers on Thursday, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

Impact Despite being pulled in two straight contests, Gibson will be making his 13th straight appearance in the crease. During that 12-game stretch, the 32-year-old netminder went 4-7-1 with a 2.80 GAA. An upcoming back-to-back versus the Rangers and Wild on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, should afford Gibson the chance to at least get one game off ahead of a potential postseason run.

APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE

Pulled once again Gibson was pulled in the first period after allowing three goals on 14 shots in Tuesday's loss to the Penguins.

Impact Gibson was unable to finish a start for a second straight outing, and he's allowed seven goals on 35 shots over that subpar two-game stretch -- good for an underwhelming .800 save percentage. With the way Gibson has been struggling of late, it wouldn't be surprising if he's ticketed for some rest or a straight-up benching when the Red Wings take on the Flyers on Thursday. Gibson has gone 4-7-1 with a 2.81 GAA and an .899 save percentage since the beginning of March, so the struggles are recent and not a sign of a broader issue.

Tending twine Tuesday Gibson will guard the road goal against Pittsburgh on Tuesday, per Ansar Khan of MLive.com.

Impact Despite losing three of his last four outings, Gibson will make his 12th straight start. He has a 27-18-3 record this campaign with four shutouts, a 2.58 GAA and a .905 save percentage across 50 appearances. Pittsburgh sits seventh in the league with 3.38 goals per game this season.

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.

Facing Flyers on Saturday Gibson will protect the home goal versus the Flyers on Saturday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Impact Gibson will get the nod for the second day in a row and his 11th straight game. The 32-year-old is seeing a heavy workload as he tries to help guide the Red Wings into the playoffs. He has gone 4-5-1 with a 2.40 GAA and a .912 save percentage during his recent run of starts, though the Flyers present a bit of a challenge since they've won four of their last five games.

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

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.
