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 makes 26 saves in his 500th career NHL game, Trevor Zegras and Cutter Gauthier score, and the Ducks hold on for a 2-1 win, their fourth straight on their home ice.

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.
