Gibson allowed four goals on just 20 shots in Thursday's season-opening 4-2 loss to Dallas.
This was a surprisingly weak performance from Gibson in a game that the Ducks dominated on the ice but lost between the pipes. He was fighting an illness late in preseason, so perhaps that's to blame for the 23-year-old's lackluster 2016-17 debut. Despite this slow start, Gibson is expected to set career highs in counting stats across the board with Frederik Andersen now in Toronto.
