The Anaheim Ducks continue to struggle in the National Hockey League standings, and with star goaltender John Gibson expressing openness to a change of scenery in the off-season, there's buzz about new teams eyeing his services.
As per Elliotte Friedman from Sportsnet, the Carolina Hurricanes and New Jersey Devils are in the running for Gibson. This interest is fueled by the goaltending challenges each team currently faces. Let's take a closer look.
The Hurricanes might not see goaltender Frederik Andersen back on the ice this year due to a medical issue, adding urgency to their search for a reliable netminder. Meanwhile, the Devils are dealing with their own set of goaltending troubles.
Gibson, at 30, has played in 18 games for Anaheim this season, holding a 5-11-0 record with a 2.82 goals against average and a .906 save percentage. These are respectable numbers, especially considering the Ducks' struggles.
Gibson has the potential to stabilize the goaltending situation for either team, but the question remains: which one will make a move for him? It looks like we won't have to wait too long to find out.
