Status report
Gibson is day to day after the goalie left during the second period of a 7-0 loss at the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday; he made 25 saves on 27 shots. ... Eriksson Ek was recalled from San Diego of the American Hockey League on Wednesday and will back up Dostal. … The Ducks could dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen. ... The Canadiens did not hold a morning skate Thursday. … Pezzetta, a forward, went on the ice with injured defenseman Matheson and likely will be a healthy scratch for the first time since Nov. 12.
