Talbot allowed three goals on 32 shots in the Flames' win over the Oilers on January 11th. David Rittich started the last three games but Talbot will get the first game coming out of their bye week. He is 4-3-0 with a 2.45 GAA and .923 SV% on home-ice this year and St. Louis has lost five straight on the road while scoring just 2.40 goals per game.
Lundestrom has appeared in 12 straight games with the Ducks but was sent back to the AHL to make room for the potential returns of Derek Grant and/or Nick Ritchie.
Talbot stopped 42 of 43 shots in the Flames win over the Hurricanes on Thursday. It was a super outing for Talbot, who has won three in a row while allowing just five goals on 102 shots (.951 SV%). Tonight he looks to stay hot against his former team, on home-ice where he has gone 3-3-0 with a 2.37 GAA and .925 SV% in six games this season.
With Ron Hainsey's return looming, the Senators return a defenseman to Belleville and summon a forward (Filip Chlapik) with that roster spot.
Talbot stopped 31 of 32 shots in the Flames win in Chicago on Tuesday. Talbot continues to play well, having gone 4-2-0 with a 2.07 GAA and .938 SV% in his last seven outings (six starts). One of those losses came against the Wild, who he'll face again tonight. He stopped 31 of 33 shots in a 3-0 loss in Minnesota two days before Christmas.
Talbot allowed three goals on 27 shots in the Flames win over the Rangers last Thursday. Since the start of December, Talbot has played very well, going 3-2-0 with a 2.25 GAA and .932 SV%. Over the same span, the Blackhawks are 3-3-1 while scoring 2.71 goals per game in seven home games.

Nichushkin missed Saturday's game in New Jersey but will replace Vladislav Kamenev Monday vs. the Islanders. Nichushkin has one goal and four assists (five points) in his last six games.
Talbot stopped 19 of 20 shots after replacing David Rittich in the Flames 5-2 loss to the Canucks on Sunday. December was Talbot's busiest month so far and he went 2-2-0 with a 2.09 GAA and .939 SV% in four starts and one relief appearance. Tonight he faces his former team, who have lost three of their last four (1-2-1) road games but possess a top-10 offence this season.
Heinen has been held pointless in his last five games and has just one goal and one assist in his last 12 games. David Backes will draw back into the lineup to replace Heinen.
With only five healthy defensemen on the roster, Jaros comes back up from Belleville and will play on the third pair on Sunday. Jaros has one goal and nine assists (10 points) in 21 AHL games this season and one goal and nine assists (10 points) in 64 career NHL games.
Provorov missed the Flyers' morning skate due to an illness and will be a game-time decision vs. the Rangers. Provorov has not missed a game in his NHL career, so don't expect him to sit tonight.
Talbot stopped 46 of the 48 shots that he faced in the Flames win in Arizona last Tuesday. Talbot has been impressive in his last two starts, going 2-0 while stopping 76 of the 81 shots (.938 SV%). He draws a tough matchup with the Penguins in town. Pittsburgh has gone 5-1-0 in their last six, will get Evgeny Malkin back tonight and will limit Talbot's goal-support.
This is surprising. The Blue Jackets announced that Werenski will miss one month with a sprained AC joint just over two weeks ago, but activating him from IR suggests he will play tonight in Detroit. The 22-year-old is a Michigan native, so he will be playing in front of family if he is in the lineup and comes in with 16 points (6G / 10A) in 26 games this season.
