Watch: Gibson makes game-saving pad stop in final seconds
Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports / USA TODAY Sports
The Anaheim Ducks walked out with a 3-2 win on Thursday night and they have goaltender John Gibson to thank for that.
The club holds a 1-0 series lead, but that's due in part to the miraculous pad stop Gibson made on Calgary Flames forward Johnny Gaudreau with less than 20 seconds remaining in regulation.
For Gibson, Thursday's victory helps bring his career playoff record to a more reasonable 3-4-0 mark. He will hope to bring that line to .500 when the Ducks and Flames take the ice again on Saturday night.
