John Gibson Exits Thursday's Game Due to Neck Problem
Detroit Red Wings goaltender John Gibson exited Thursday's 6-3 win over Philadelphia early due to neck stiffness, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports. Gibson left the game midway through the second period after allowing two goals with a .867 save percentage. Cam Talbot finished the job with 11 saves on 12 SOG. Red Wings head coach Todd McLellan confirmed after the game that Gibson hasn't entered concussion protocol, so he doesn't appear to be dealing with a serious issue. However, the veteran netminder could still sit out some action. Detroit will return to work on Saturday against New Jersey. Gibson is two wins short of matching his career-high, going 29-20-4 this season. He has registered a 2.64 goals-against average with a .904 save percentage and four shutouts.
