Ducks' John Gibson: Healthy ahead of Tuesday's tilt

By virtue of Jhonas Enroth's reassignment to AHL San Diego, Gibson (lower body) is presumably healthy enough to at least serve as a backup in the first of the team's four-game road trip beginning Tuesday against the Canucks, Curtis Zupke of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Analysis:

While Gibson's return will certainly be welcomed, Jonathan Bernier has been on fire in the crease during his absence. Bernier owns an 8-0-1 record over his last nine starts and could be in line to start the tilt despite Gibson's availability. A goalie confirmation of one of the two should come across on game day, but Gibson's role as the workhorse is certainly on hold for now.
