The Detroit Red Wings have good news regarding goaltender John Gibson‘s status ahead of Saturday’s game against the Buffalo Sabres.
During the team’s Centennial Season, disasters are expected, but we hope to avoid them.
The team has narrowly missed another, as the goaltending tandem in Detroit will be healthy ahead of the game against the Buffalo Sabres today. He’ll be available to slot in should the Red Wings decide to go with him.
The team has cleared him for action and could be in the crease today against the Buffalo Sabres, an Atlantic Division opponent.
Gibson would depart the ice after two periods of play and took a couple of pucks to the facemask.
«Just a couple of headshots,» Gibson said. «Nothing really crazy.»

Gibson’s arrival at Red Wings practice on the 14th would signal that the crisis has been averted, thankfully.
The Red Wings are 10-7-0 this season, and 4th in the Atlantic Division.
With Gibson in the net, they could find another win playing at home in Little Caesars Arena today against their Atlantic Division foes.
