The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) data stream will contain gaps with missing or unusable data due to antenna repointing, orbital corrections, instrument malfunctions, and unknown random processes. We introduce a new deep learning model to impute data gaps in the LISA data stream. The stacked hybrid autoencoder combines a denoising convolutional autoencoder (DCAE) with a bi-directional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU). The DCAE is used to extract relevant features in the corrupted data, while the BiGRU captures the temporal dynamics of the gravitational-wave signals. We show for a massive black hole binary signal, corrupted by data gaps of various numbers and duration, that we yield an overlap of greater than 99.97% when the gaps do not occur in the merging phase and greater than 99% when the gaps do occur in the merging phase. However, if data gaps occur during merger time, we show that we get biased astrophysical parameter estimates, highlighting the need for "protected periods," where antenna repointing does not occur during the predicted merger time.
