The Kings were prepared to face either Ducks goaltender Jonas Hiller or Frederik Andersen in Game 4 of their second-round playoff series Saturday night. They faced Hiller enough times over the years to know what to expect, and got a good look at Andersen during the regular season, too.

But what if John Gibson started for the Ducks? How would the Kings react to facing a 20-year-old rookie goalie with only three NHL games worth of experience? And zero games in the Stanley Cup playoffs? What would they do then?

Hiller started the first two games of the series, both Kings victories. Andersen replaced Hiller for Game 3, but suffered a lower-body injury in the third period and couldn’t finish the Ducks’ victory. Gibson was recalled Saturday morning from Norfolk (Va.) of the American Hockey League.

“One catches left and one catches right and one is a little better at puck-handling than the other,” Kings defenseman Drew Doughty said of possibly facing Hiller or Andersen, who was later ruled out of Game 4 by Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau. “It doesn’t effect us at all.”

“I don’t see Gibson going in,” Doughty said when asked about the possibility of a real change-up in goal.” I think it’ll be Hiller going in. He came in during the third after not playing for 50 minutes and did a pretty good job. Hopefully, we can push Hiller out and make Gibson come in late.”
