Ducks' John Gibson: Manning crease Wednesday

Gibson will be back in goal against Pittsburgh on Wednesday, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.

Analysis:

Gibson gets the starting nod in his second back-to-back of the year. In fact, the 23-year-old was on the bench just once this season for the Ducks previous matchup with the Penguins. The netminder has been decent in his nine appearances, as he has posted a 4-3-2 record that includes one shutout and a .919 save percentage. Pittsburgh is undefeated since the return of captain Sidney Crosby and they will look to test Gibson early, especially on the power play, where they are converting at 44.4 percent with Crosby in the lineup.
