Gibson will protect the net Sunday against the Stars, Eric Stephens of The Orange County Register reports.

Analysis:

With Frederik Andersen (concussion) sidelined for the indefinite future, the Ducks will likely turn to Gibson a lot down the stretch. He was beaten three times on 26 shots in Friday's loss to the Canucks and faces a tough matchup again Sunday against the league's top offense in Dallas (3.25 goals per game). Gibson's home splits (1.84 GAA, .929 save percentage, 12-7-2 record) drastically outpace his road stats, leaving no reason to sit him in season-long formats.
