The Red Wings have played well lately, with points in eight of their last nine (6-1-2), largely due to the improved play of John Gibson between the pipes. That said, they will turn to Talbot on Wednesday against the Utah Mammoth. The 38-year-old Talbot has a 3.01 GAA and .885 SV% in 17 games (9-5-2) and has lost five straight decisions (0-3-2). The Red Wings enter Wednesday’s contest as -118 home favorites against a Mammoth team that has lost four of their last six (2-4-0).
