Gibson was reassigned to AHL Hershey on Wednesday, per the NHL media site.
Gibson was with the Capitals because Logan Thompson (lower body) was on injured reserve. However, Thompson has been activated, so Gibson's presence on the NHL roster was no longer needed. The 27-year-old Gibson didn't make his NHL debut during his stint with the team. He has a 3.50 GAA and an .881 save percentage in two appearances with Hershey in 2026-27.

Gibson was called up by Washington on Friday.
Gibson has a 3.50 GAA and an .881 save percentage in two appearances with AHL Hershey in 2026-27. The 27-year-old has never played in the NHL, but Washington needed another goaltender because Logan Thompson (lower body) is questionable for Saturday's home game against Buffalo. If Thompson can't play Saturday, then Charlie Lindgren will probably play between the pipes, while Gibson will likely be the understudy.
