John Gibson News: Coasts to win Sunday

Gibson made 16 saves on 18 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Oilers.

Gibson had a relatively easy outing Sunday against the reigning Western Conference champs. The 32-year-old netminder tended a clean first period before allowing the first goal halfway through the second period. The latter of the two he surrendered was against Leon Draisaitl, the reigning Rocket Richard Trophy winner. Sunday's victory was Gibson's second consecutive win between the pipes, and he now has a 2-1-0 record, a 2.98 GAA and an .873 save percentage through three appearances. His early numbers this season aren't quite what he posted in 29 regular-season appearances a year ago, but he continues to find a way to outduel opposing goalies. If both Gibson and Cam Talbot remain healthy, Gibson should have solid streaming value and is a candidate for spot starts in fantasy when his name is called. Gibson and Talbot will likely split the upcoming two games, with one going against the Sabres on Wednesday and the other versus the Islanders on Thursday.
