Gibson allowed six goals on 27 shots in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Flames.
The Ducks were all-around awful over the first two periods, and a rally in the third wasn't quite enough to bail out Gibson's poor play. The 30-year-old hadn't played over the previous five contests, but the time off due to an upper-body injury didn't help him shake his losing streak, which is now at seven games with a 5.61 GAA and an .836 save percentage in that span. Overall, Gibson has gone 13-27-2 with a 3.54 GAA and an .888 save percentage through 46 appearances in what has been a fifth consecutive disappointing campaign. Lukas Dostal is likely to start Saturday in Los Angeles, and it's unclear which goalie will get the nod for the season finale in Vegas on Thursday.

Ducks' John Gibson: Expected to start Friday
Rotowire
Gibson (upper body) will start in Friday's home tilt versus Calgary, according to Alyson Lozoff of Bally Sports West.
Gibson is making his first appearance since March 30. He stopped 31 of 37 shots en route to a 6-1 loss to Edmonton in that contest. That defeat was the latest setback in what's been a challenging campaign for the 30-year-old goaltender -- he has a 13-26-2 record, 3.48 GAA and .890 save percentage across 45 appearances. The Flames might be a somewhat favorable matchup, though. Calgary ranks 20th offensively with 3.01 goals per game.

Ducks' John Gibson: Not starting after all
Rotowire
Gibson, contrary to previous reports, will not get the starting nod against Calgary on the road Tuesday. Instead, Lukas Dostal will be between the pipes, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
Based on the Ducks' goalie rotation, Gibson was in line to start, but it seems his six-game losing streak has changed the team's mind about which direction to go. Still, the veteran goaltender should see plenty of work the rest of the way even if Dostal takes a slight edge in actual starts.

Rotowire
Gibson made 31 saves in Saturday's 6-1 loss to Edmonton.

Ducks' John Gibson: No help in loss
Rotowire
Gibson gave up four goals on 36 shots in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Kraken.
The duo of Matty Beniers and Eeli Tolvanen each earned three points, while Gibson received no help from his teammates. This was Gibson's fifth straight loss, and he's allowed 26 goals in that span. The 30-year-old is at 13-25-2 with a 3.41 GAA and an .891 save percentage over 44 appearances. Given his recent play, fantasy managers shouldn't be relying on Gibson for anything close to acceptable performances at this stage of the season.

Ducks' John Gibson: Crashes in Winnipeg
Rotowire
Gibson stopped 32 shots in Friday's 6-0 loss to the Jets.
Gibson kept things relatively close through the first 40 minutes, allowing only one goal in each of the first two periods, but the final frame was an utter disaster for the Ducks. The 30-year-old netminder has coughed up six goals in three straight starts, and his season has gone completely off the rails since he posted a shutout in Ottawa on Feb. 15 -- over his last eight outings, he's gone 2-4-1 with a ghastly 5.06 GAA and .851 save percentage.
