John Gibson Exits Ducks' OT Win with Injury

Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson left Saturday night's 3-2 overtime victory against the Boston Bruins due to an upper-body injury, sparking concerns about his availability as trade talks intensify. Gibson, who exited after two periods, has been a pivotal player for the Ducks, and his performance makes him a desirable trade target despite Anaheim's middling record. Lukas Dostal took over in goal, securing the win with 10 saves. The Ducks, now on a four-game winning streak, are closely monitoring Gibson's condition ahead of the March 7 trade deadline, as his potential absence may affect both their playoff hopes and trade negotiations. The Ducks are scheduled to face the Detroit Red Wings next, while the Bruins, who have lost three consecutive games, will host the Toronto Maple Leafs. Fans and analysts are keenly watching Gibson's status due to his significant $6.4 million salary cap hit and the potential impact on his trade value.
