Ducks' John Gibson: Beats lowly Avalanche on Tuesday

Gibson turned aside 28 of 29 shots in a 5-1 win over the visiting Avalanche on Tuesday.

Analysis:

The young netminder took advantage of a lackluster opponent to earn his 20th win of the season in his 40th appearance. It was a nice bounce-back performance after Gibson surrendered four goals on just 23 shots in a home loss to the Oilers heading into the All-Star break. The Ducks head out on a lengthy six-game road trip starting Friday in Florida, and it's worth mentioning that Gibson's splits are much better at home (2.11 GAA, .928 save percentage) than on the road (2.52, .908); owners will want to be mindful of that over the next couple weeks.
