Gibson stopped 16 of 18 shots on net in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Islanders.
After allowing the opening goal of the game inside the first five minutes, Gibson stopped all but one shot across the final two periods while Detroit's offense came to life to complete the comeback. With the win, the 32-year-old netminder is up to a 10-7-1 record with a 3.07 GAA and an .890 save percentage through 19 appearances this season. After going 0-4-1 across six games in November, Gibson has completely flipped the switch in December, where he is 6-0-0 with a 2.00 GAA and a .935 save percentage in six games. With the Red Wings surging as a team, Gibson has elevated his own performances and is one of the best streaming options across all fantasy formats amidst his win streak. While Cam Talbot will likely receive the nod in Wednesday's home game against Utah in the second half of a back-to-back, Gibson has a solid chance to start Saturday in Washington.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Posts second shutout of season
Rotowire
Gibson recorded a 26-save shutout in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blackhawks.
Gibson has all the momentum in the Red Wings' crease -- he's won five straight games, two via shutout. He's allowed 10 goals on 167 shots in that span. It took some time for Gibson to get on track, and he hasn't exactly faced juggernaut offenses during his heater, but the run is helping his confidence. The 32-year-old is up to 9-7-1 with a 3.13 GAA and an .890 save percentage over 18 starts this season. Gibson figures to start twice in the next week as the Red Wings have a pair of back-to-back sets coming up, beginning with a home sequence that sees them host the Islanders on Tuesday and the Mammoth on Wednesday.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Makes 34 saves Wednesday
Rotowire
Gibson stopped 34 of 37 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Flames.

He's won each of his last four starts despite allowing at least three goals in three of those contests. He has a 2.50 GAA and .929 save percentage over that stretch, providing a safety blanket for a Red Wings offense that has also scored four or more goals in each of those starts.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Posts shutout Monday
Rotowire
Gibson recorded a 39-save shutout in Monday's 4-0 win over the Canucks.
Gibson has won three straight outings, and Monday's effort was his best of the year, albeit against a slumping Canucks team. The 32-year-old's recent success could help him claw back some playing time from Cam Talbot, as the two looked to be in a timeshare as recently as last week. Gibson is now 7-7-1 with a 3.34 GAA and an .881 save percentage through 16 appearances, so he can still be tough to trust in fantasy. That said, he has a favorable matchup ahead if he gets the start Wednesday in Calgary rather than Thursday in Edmonton.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Allows three goals in win
Rotowire
Gibson stopped 24 of 27 shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Kraken.
It was a back-and-forth game, and Patrick Kane's tally late in the third period was what made Gibson a winner. While he's allowed 22 goals over his last five games, Gibson has won two straight starts. He has alternated starts over the past week-plus with Cam Talbot, which is likely the best arrangement for both of them to stay productive. Gibson is 6-7-1 with a 3.58 GAA and an .869 save percentage over 15 starts this season. If the goaltending pattern holds, Talbot would play Monday in Vancouver while Gibson would get the nod Wednesday in Calgary in the first half of a back-to-back.

Red Wings' John Gibson: In goal Tuesday
Rotowire
Gibson will be between the home pipes Tuesday versus the Bruins, according to Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News.
Gibson hasn't won a game since Oct. 28 -- he's mired in a terrible stretch right now but will attempt to turn the tide Tuesday against a team missing some key players. Charlie McAvoy (face) and David Pastrnak (undisclosed) won't be available for the Bruins, which plays into Gibson's favor. Boston beat Detroit 3-2 in a shootout Saturday, but Cam Talbot was in goal for that game.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Gets no help Thursday
Rotowire
Gibson stopped 21 shots in Thursday's 5-0 loss to the Islanders.
The Red Wings looked weary as they played their fourth game in the last six days, and Gibson received no support either offensively or defensively. The veteran netminder hasn't won a game since Oct. 28, going 0-4-1 over his last six outings with a 3.73 GAA and .864 save percentage, and Gibson's in danger of falling out of a timeshare with Cam Talbot, who's gone 5-1-0 with a 2.37 GAA and .904 save percentage during that same span.

Gibson appeared to get clipped by an opposing player late in the second period and ultimately didn't return for the third. The 32-year-old allowed two goals on 17 shots prior to his exit. Gibson can be considered day-to-day until the Red Wings establish a timeline for him, but expect the team to be cautious since he has a lengthy injury history.
