Ducks goalie John Gibson leaves game vs. Canucks after collision in crease
VANCOUVER — Anaheim Ducks goalie John Gibson left a game against the Vancouver Canucks Wednesday after suffering an apparent injury midway through the second period.
Canucks winger Drew O’Connor crashed into the 31-year-old American netminder at the 13:48 mark of the middle frame, and both players tumbled awkwardly into the net.
Gibson lay on the ice for several minutes and was looked at by a trainer before getting up slowly and leaving the ice with help.
O’Connor was given a two-minute goalie interference penalty for the play and Ducks netminder Lukas Dostal came on in relief.
