Christopher Gibson: Released from PTO
Rotowire
Gibson was released from his professional tryout with the Coyotes on Thursday.
Considering the Coyotes have rather lackluster options in net, this doesn't bode well for Gibson's ability to find a two-way deal before the season starts. The 29-year-old may have to settle for an AHL-only deal or head overseas to find playing time in 2022-23.

Coyotes' Christopher Gibson: Links up with Arizona on PTO
Rotowire
Gibson signed a professional tryout agreement with the Coyotes on Tuesday, per CapFriendly.
Gibson spent much of 2021-22 in the AHL with Charlotte, logging a 2.80 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 14 games in his lone year in the Panthers' organization. The Coyotes' goaltending group is a few notches below impressive, though he'll likely have a tough time unseating Jon Gillies as the team's presumptive backup to Karel Vejmelka heading into 2022-23.

Gibson's time with the big club ended after Sergei Bobrovsky was cleared from an upper-body injury and served as Spencer Knight's backup Tuesday versus the Devils. The 28-year-old Gibson will remain the Panthers' No. 3 option in goal in the organization, though he shouldn't be expected to play much at the NHL level.

Rotowire
Gibson stopped 22 of 23 shots Sunday in a 2-1 win over the Red Wings.
Gibson was a surprise starter ahead of Andrei Vasilevskiy (undisclosed) and Curtis McElhinney, who got the nod Saturday, and he responded with his first victory since March 2018 when he was with the Islanders. The 28-year-old Gibson had made only one other appearance this season, a 5-1 loss to the Red Wings back on April 4.

Lightning's Christopher Gibson: Starting against Red Wings
Rotowire
Gibson was promoted to the active roster to make the home start against the Red Wings on Sunday, Bryan Burns of the Lightning's official site reports.
Gibson will make his Lightning debut Sunday. The 28-year-old netminder has just 14 NHL games on his resume, posting a .904 save percentage and a 3-4-3 record in the process. The Red Wings are certainly a favorable matchup, though, as they rank last in the league with just 2.13 goals per game.

Spencer Martin was promoted from the minors to serve as the taxi-squad goalie for the time being. Gibson didn't play a game with the Lightning, but he figures to handle a decent workload in the AHL. Last season, he posted a .914 save percentage and a 10-8-5 record across 25 AHL appearances.

Rotowire
Gibson was reassigned to the taxi squad Tuesday, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.
Gibson was on the active roster for Monday's game as the backup to Curtis McElhinney to assure a full night off for Andrei Vasilevskiy. That won't be the case Tuesday, as Vasilevskiy will start and McElhinney will back up, allowing Gibson to return to his taxi squad role. That's a position the 28-year-old Gibson will likely fill for the bulk of the season.

The Lightning reassigned Gibson to their taxi squad Tuesday, TSN reports.
Gibson's demotion suggests Curtis McElhinney (COVID-19 protocols) is likely on the verge of returning to action. Gibson probably won't see NHL ice in 2020-21 unless Tampa Bay's top-two netminders both go down with an injury or an illness.

Lightning's Christopher Gibson: Added to NHL roster
Rotowire
Gibson was promoted from the taxi squad to the active roster Thursday, TSN reports.
Curtis McElhinney is still in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol, so Gibson will likely serve as Andrei Vasilevskiy's backup for Saturday's clash with Columbus. The 28-year-old Finn maintained a 2.78 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 25 appearances with AHL Bridgeport last season.

Lightning's Christopher Gibson: On waivers to get to taxi squad
Rotowire
Gibson was waived Monday, reports the Tampa Bay Times.

Lightning's Christopher Gibson: Signed by Lightning
Rotowire
Gibson penned a one-year, two-way deal with the Lightning on Friday.
Gibson was a relatively high draft pick in 2011, going 49th overall to the Kings. However, he's only made 14 NHL appearances since turning pro in 2013-14, instead spending the bulk of his career in the AHL. Through 208 games there, the 27-year-old has posted a .911 save percentage, 2.60 GAA and 105-67-33 record. Long story short: the Lightning are set in net with star Andrei Vasilevskiy and capable NHL-journeyman backup Curtis McElhinney, so Gibson figures to feature almost exclusively with AHL Syracuse.
