Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson will miss three to six weeks following an appendectomy, the team announced Thursday.
Gibson had the procedure Wednesday night. He had been a participant throughout Anaheim's first week of training camp but did not appear in any of its preseason games.
Anaheim's regular-season opener is scheduled for Oct. 12 against the San Jose Sharks. Depending on how long Gibson's recovery takes, he may not be available to dress then, putting Lukas Dostal on track to be the Ducks' starting netminder.
