Ducks coach Randy Carlyle had a tall task ahead of him pre-game who to go with in net. Gibson faltered in Game 3 after playing exceptional in the first two while Jonathan Bernier was perfect in relief. Carlyle went with Gibson and was rewarded with possibly his best game of the series. It was a great choice not just because of the result, but for not letting Gibson's confidence crumble and build it back up instantly.

Fantasy Impact:

Gibson starting also gives a clear picture of roles going forward as far as the goaltender pecking order goes. Although Carlyle keeps emphasizing having a 1A-1B tandem, this game puts Gibson in the driver's seat while still having healthy competition at the position. Gibson now has 3 wins and in those wins a .952 SV%. He finishes the series with totals of .926 SV% and a 2.6GAA.
