Overview
- John Gibson left Thursday’s 6-3 win over the Ducks after two periods with an upper-body issue but took a full turn in practice on Friday.
- Gibson said he felt fine and cited a couple of headshots as the reason for exiting, while coach Todd McLellan called his return to the ice a really good sign.
- Detroit has not announced Gibson’s game status for Saturday, though the staff anticipates he will be okay.
- With AHL goalies Sebastian Cossa and Michael Postava injured, the organization recalled Carter Gylander and added Dustin Tokarski on a professional tryout for short-term coverage.
- Cam Talbot secured the victory in relief with 10 saves on 11 shots, and Detroit’s power play produced two goals after a 1-for-20 stretch, snapping a three-game skid.
