Gibson gets 1st shutout in almost 3 years as Red Wings blank Canucks 4-0
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) --- John Gibson made 39 saves for his first
NHL shutout in nearly three years, and the Detroit Red Wings beat the Vancouver
Canucks 4-0 on Monday night.
James van Riemsdyk, Andrew Copp, Nate Danielson and Dylan Larkin scored for the
Red Wings (16-11-3), who moved from just outside the crowded Eastern Conference
playoff picture into first place in the Atlantic Division.
Detroit is 3-0-1 since an 0-3-1 slide.
The 32-year-old Gibson improved to 7-7-1 this season with his 25th career
shutout and first since a 2-0 win for Anaheim over Dallas on Jan. 4, 2023. Four
of his shutouts have come against Vancouver.
Canucks goalie Kevin Lankinen was removed after making 10 saves on 13 shots
over two periods. Nikita Tolopilo stopped all six shots he faced in the third.
Vancouver (11-16-3) went 0 for 3 with the man advantage and has gone six games
without a power-play goal. Detroit was 0 for 2.
