John Gibson's night didn't last long Sunday.
The Anaheim Ducks goaltender was yanked less than nine minutes into Game 6 against the Edmonton Oilers after surrendering three goals on six shots.
Jonathan Bernier replaced Gibson in the Ducks' crease, getting his first playoff action since Game 3 of Anaheim's first-round series against the Calgary Flames.
Leon Draisaitl scored on a breakaway less than three minutes into Sunday's game, and then tucked a backhand past Gibson about four and a half minutes later.
Zack Kassian subsequently beat the netminder five-hole at the 8:25 mark of the opening frame, ending Gibson's evening.
