Ducks veteran goaltender John Gibson became the first netminder in franchise history to play 500 games, though he wants to try to focus on the present instead of looking back at his career or any milestones still ahead.

Gibson, who stopped 9 of 10 shots in the first period, was replaced by Lukas Dostal to start the second. The Ducks confirmed Gibson would not return to the game following his removal from it. "Lukas Dostal is now in net for us. John Gibson has an upper-body injury and will not return to this game," the Ducks announced on X.

Veteran goaltender John Gibson sustained an upper-body injury during the first period of the Anaheim Ducks' 5-2 victory over the Nashville Predators on Saturday night. Lukas Dostal took over netminding duties at the start of the second period.

He won his 200th NHL game on Jan. 5 against Tampa Bay. Tuesday’s victory also leaves him four wins from tying Jean-Sebastien Giguere for the most in franchise history.

Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson reached his 500th career game on Tuesday night as Anaheim took on the Dallas Stars at Honda Center. He made 26 saves in his milestone game to help the team secure a 2-1 win.
