C. Gibson - G

The Islanders shipped Gibson back to AHL Bridgeport on Wednesday.

Gibson's reassignment indicates that Robin Lehner (upper body) will dress for Thursday's contest against the Canadiens. He made a relief appearance against the Flyers on Saturday and came up a perfect 10-for-10 in terms of saves on shots faced. He'll return to the minors to provide organizational depth behind a pair of stalwarts in Lehner and Thomas Greiss.

Gibson made 10 saves in relief during the third period in a 5-2 loss to the Flyers on Saturday.

It wasn't in the plans to use him, but with Thomas Greiss yielding five goals in the first two periods, coach Barry Trotz pressed Gibson into service just a few days following his emergency call-up. It was just his second NHL appearance of the season, but Gibson has a .941 save percentage, stopping 16 of 17 shots, and a 1.50 GAA this season. The 26-year-old is 3-4-3 with a 3.45 GAA and .904 save percentage in 14 career NHL games.

Gibson was an emergency call-up from AHL Bridgeport on Wednesday.

This move suggests that there may be a lasting injury to Robin Lehner (undisclosed), but we wouldn't make any rash lineup decisions until the team has a chance to speak on the matter. Besides, the Islanders don't play until Thursday evening. Gibson has maintained an 18-9-1 record with a 2.89 GAA and .900 save percentage through 33 games for the AHL's Sound Tigers this season.

Gibson was sent back to Bridgeport of the AHL on Sunday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Gibson was called up on an emergency basis when Robin Lehner was forced to miss a couple of games due to injury. Lehner returned to the team Saturday which mean Gibson was no longer needed. Gibson only played one game while with the team, giving up one goal on seven shots while coming in for a less than impressive Thomas Greiss during a 6-2 loss to the Penguins on Thursday.

Gibson stopped six of seven shots after relieving an ineffective Thomas Greiss in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Penguins.

Summoned Tuesday with Robin Lehner battling an undisclosed injury, Gibson was immediately thrust into game action, playing the third period after Greiss was shelled for five goals through two. Ineffectiveness has been a common theme for Greiss of late, and Gibson might even be asked to start a game or two if Greiss can't turn things around and Lehner doesn't recover quickly.

The Islanders recalled Gibson from AHL Bridgeport on Tuesday.

Robin Lehner wasn't present at Tuesday's morning skate due to an undisclosed issue, so Gibson will likely draw into the lineup for the evening's matchup with Winnipeg. The 25-year-old Finn will be shipped back to the minors as soon as Lehner is ready to return.

The Islanders recalled Gibson under emergency conditions Wednesday.

Robin Lehner (strain) is considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's game against the Penguins, so Gibson will likely backup Thomas Greiss against Pittsburgh if Lehner's unable to go. The 25-year-old netminder will be returned to New York's minor-league affiliate as soon as Lehner is cleared to play.

Gibson stopped all 11 shots he faced in Thursday's 2-0 preseason win over the Devils.

Gibson played the final period, preserving a shutout that Thomas Greiss started by stopping all 25 New Jersey shots through two frames. Greiss and Robin Lehner are likely to start the season with the big club, but Gibson should be the team's first choice if either falters or gets hurt.

Gibson allowed a goal on eight shots during one period in a 5-1 loss to the Flyers on Tuesday.

Gibson started, but Robin Lehner came on in relief to play the final two periods. The Islanders trailed 1-0 at the end of the first but took Gibson off the hook when they scored the first goal of the second period. Lehner really struggled Tuesday, so it will be interesting to see if that leaves open an opportunity for Gibson. Still, Gibson's poor 2017-18 numbers -- .908 save percentage and 3.65 GAA -- make it hard to justify a fantasy roster spot for him.

Gibson is shaping up to start Tuesday night against the visiting Flyers, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

Gibson is listed above Robin Lehner on the projected roster for this preseason tilt, which suggests that he will be the one starting. However, Lehner will also see the ice, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday. This arrangement will make it tricky to depend on one player or the other in early DFS preseason contests, but then again, most teams are giving multiple netminders a look this early in exhibition.

Lehner courageously opened up about his battle with bipolar disorder and alcohol abuse in a first-hand report by The Athletic. Fortunately, he's in a much better place mentally and physically, declaring himself fit to take on new challenges with the Islanders.

Gibson signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Islanders on Friday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Gibson spent most of the 2017-18 campaign in the minors, compiling a 19-14-2 record while posting a 2.42 GAA and .906 save percentage in 37 appearances. The 25-year-old netminder will once again step in as AHL Bridgeport's starting netminder in 2017-18, but he'll also get the occasional call-up to the big club when the Islanders are in need of reinforcements due to injury or illness.

Mackenzie Blackwood is still in COVID-19 protocol.

Blackwood was placed on the list Thursday and has not been on the ice since. Blackwood had been outstanding before that as he was 2-0-1 with a 1.90 GAA and a .948 save percentage. Scott Wedgewood was between the pipes the last two games and is coming off a 34 save shutout Sunday over the Islanders. Consider Blackwood day-to-day at this time.

J. Love - QB

ESPN's Rob Demovsky said Packers backup QB Tim Boyle "would be more suited" than Jordan Love to start in 2021 if Aaron Rodgers is traded or retires this offseason.

In other words, the Packers would be in bad spot if Rodgers isn't in green and yellow next season. Demovsky said "nothing [Love] has shown, at least publicly, would suggest" he's ready to replace Rodgers a year after the Packers inexplicably drafted Love in the first round. Packers beat writers have written extensively since last summer that Love is an erratic passer who appears over his head in Green Bay's offense. "Love has struggled with accuracy -- in the drill where quarterbacks throw to a stationary target (usually a net) and to players running routes on air (without a defender)," Demovsky said. He suggested the team's best course might be to trade Love, like the Patriots did with Jimmy Garoppolo when Tom Brady was unhappy about New England drafting his successor. That Love isn't locked in as Green Bay's starter post-Rodgers is an indictment of the entire organization.

Nils Hoglander picked up an assist Monday in Vancouver's 7-1 shellacking of Vegas.

And oh what an assist it was! Hoglander dove on the ice and swiped the puck over to Tanner Pearson who made no mistake to make it 3-1 Vancouver at the time. “He’s a smart little player,” coach Travis Green said. “Works extremely hard and isn’t afraid to go to hard places to win a puck battle. He might have games where he misses some little details in our structure, but that’s going to happen with a young player. You have a lot of time for them when they compete hard and want to get better.” Hoglander has two goals and four points in eight games to date.

T. Bauer - SP

Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that the Mets did not offer a deal to Trevor Bauer with a record AAV (average annual value).

Mark Feinsand of MLB.com and Andy Martino of SNY.tv are reporting the same. This stands in direct contrast to Bob Nightengale's reporting. It's important to note that the word "offer" might be misconstrued, as the Mets could have made their intentions of a framework clear. Nobody is denying that the Mets have interest and Martino writes that the club has indeed made an offer, but not to the point of $36 million AAV. Either way, there's a lot of smoke here and the Mets have been one of only a handful of teams willing to spend this offseason.

J. Wiseman - C

GSW

After playing 16 minutes off the bench on Monday, James Wiseman said a reserve role is "helpful for [his] development."

The typical starting lineup of Wiseman, Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, Kelly Oubre and Stephen Curry has struggled this season with a net rating of -20.3 in 161 minutes played. As a result, veteran Kevon Looney got the nod at center ahead of the rookie. “That [starting] lineup has not been good, and when you are the young guy that’s just kind of what happens,” Draymond said. Head coach Steve Kerr noted after the game that Wiseman's bench role isn't "a permanent decision," adding, "He's still going to play plenty." The Warriors will find ways to accelerate Wiseman's development, such as surrounding him with capable shooters, and fantasy managers' patience should be rewarded as the season progresses.

J. Bradley Jr. - CF

Mike Puma of the New York Post reports that Jackie Bradley Jr. remains "solid on the Mets' radar."

The Mets are also reportedly engaged on Trevor Bauer, so it's unclear whether they are looking to sign one or both, but there's no question that the club could use an upgrade in center field. One major unknown for all teams is whether the DH will remain in the National League this season. That's especially relevant for the Mets, who could be forced to put Dom Smith in left field. If the club was to sign Bradley, they would have a playing time crunch on their hands with Brandon Nimmo on their roster. But that talks are continuing suggests that the Mets are still optimistic the DH will be in place come Opening Day.
