The incident happened at the 13:48 mark as O’Connor crashed into Gibson, leading to a delay as the netminder lay on the ice, receiving medical attention before leaving with assistance.

John Gibson, holding a 9-10-2 record with a .911 save percentage this season, was instrumental in keeping the Ducks competitive, showcasing remarkable saves despite being outshot 17-5 in the first period. Lukas Dostal stepped in as Gibson's replacement, marking a crucial moment in an already tight contest.
