Analysis:

Since Gibson's six-goal debacle in the Ducks' season-opening loss to the Penguins, Frederik Andersen has reeled off wins in each of his last six starts to solidify himself as the team's top goaltender. As a result, Gibson could only be used sparingly while Andersen continues to guide the Ducks to victories. Even a respectable outing by Gibson on Friday might not be enough for him to significantly cut into Andersen's workload.
