The No. 1 goaltender for the Anaheim Ducks left Saturday’s preseason game after just one period with an apparent upper-body injury. John Gibson stopped 16 of 19 shots in the first before exiting the game and not taking the ice for the second frame. Backup Anthony Stolarz took the crease in relief of Gibson as the Ducks went on to lose 6-3 to the Los Angeles Kings in their last game of the preseason.
While there have been no updates to Gibson’s status, this very well could have been a precautionary move for the veteran.
