Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson was forced from Sunday's game versus the Colorado Avalanche and is under evaluation, the team announced.

Ryan Miller entered the contest in relief for Gibson, who appeared shaken up after a collision with Avs captain Gabriel Landeskog.

There's no word on the specifics of the injury. Gibson has been banged up over the course of the season, and losing him for the final stretch would be a major blow to the Ducks, who entered Sunday's game one point clear of the Avalanche in the Western Conference wild-card race.

Gibson has been the Ducks' most valuable player this season, posting a .926 save percentage and 2.43 goals-against average across 59 starts.
