✅ Anaheim goaltender John Gibson is in a serious slump. He has allowed at least four goals in each of his last four outings, giving up 19 total goals during that span.
San Jose Sharks
The San Jose Sharks (22-22-5) lost to Vegas on Sunday, 4-1. The Sharks went 0-2-1 during their three-game homestand, and now head to the road for the single contest against Anaheim before returning for three straight games. The Sharks are 11-11-2 on the road but are 0-1-2 in their last three games away from San Jose.
The Sharks have scored eight goals over their last five games. Alexander Barbanov has led the club with four points during that span and now has 26 total points in 41 games. Timo Meier is the team leader in points with 50 and had three points against Vancouver on February 17. However, he has been held scoreless in five of his last six games.
Anaheim Ducks
The Anaheim Ducks (24-19-9) scored the first five goals of the contest on their way to a 7-4 victory over Vancouver. That snapped a four-game winless streak for the Ducks. Nicolas Deslauriers and Adam Henrique each scored two goals for Anaheim and Trevor Zegras had three assists. Zegras now has five assists and six total points over his last five games, giving him 38 total points this season.
Gibson will be the one to watch in this contest. While posting solid numbers (16-13-8, 2.77 GAA, .913 save percentage) he has been rocked of late, giving up at least four goals in each of his last four starts. This comes after a span of 10 straight games where he has allowed three goals or fewer in each of those contests. One has to wonder how long it will be before the team turns to Anthony Stolarz on a more regular basis.
