Talbot allowed two goals on 24 shots in the Oilers’ loss in Philadelphia on Saturday afternoon. After opening the season with a shutout, Talbot has lost four of his last five starts while allowing a combined 15 goals on 128 shots (.883 SV%). Tonight he faces a high-end Penguins team on the road, where the 30-year-old is 1-2-0 with a 2.50 GAA and .903 SV% so far this season.

Talbot was yanked after allowed four goals on 23 shots in the Oilers loss to the Senators last Saturday. Laurent Brossoit got the nod on Tuesday, so they’ll come back to Talbot tonight in Chicago. Talbot has gotten off to a dreadful start, posting a 3.96 GAA and .880 SV% in four starts.

Heinen had a nice run with the Bruins, registering three assists in three games during his call-up. With Patrice Bergeron and David Backes expected to play on Thursday, the Bruins needed to clear some roster spots. Heinen had one assist in one game with Providence before his call-up and he will likely be one of the first forwards brought back from the AHL.

Talbot allowed five goals on 43 shots in the Oilers loss to the Jets on Tuesday. After posting a shutout in his first start of the season, Talbot has now given up a combined eight goals on the last 50 shots (.840 SV%) that he has faced. Tonight he faces a Senators team that has averaged 3.25 goals per game without Erik Karlsson.

With Coyle expected to miss at least a month and a half, the Wild have placed him on LTIR which opens up a roster spot and gives them some cap relief. This is a huge loss for the Wild as Coyle already had two assists in three games and is coming off of a season in which he recorded 56 points (18G / 38A) in 82 games.

Coyle was hit by a shot in Thursday’s win over the Blackhawks and has already been ruled out for Saturday’s contest. The Wild are extremely banged up up front with Coyle joining Zach Parise, Mikael Granlund, Nino Niederreiter and Marcus Foligno in the press box.

Heinen, 22, spent most of last season with Providence, but did get eight games with the Bruins—he failed to record a point. The former fourth-round pick had 14 goals and 30 assists (44 points) in 64 AHL games a season ago and one helper in the first game of this season.

Talbot was yanked after allowing three goals on seven shots in the Oilers loss to the Canucks on Saturday. It was an ugly performance from Talbot, who had a tidy shutout in his first start of the season. Despite a nice relief appearance from Laurent Brossoit, the Oilers will go right back to their No.1 vs. a Jets team that has stumbled out of the gate.

The Senators blueline is banged up; Erik Karlsson is still fighting a foot injury, Johnny Oduya missed Saturday’s game with a lower-body injury and Ben Harpur left that game with an upper-body ailment. Jarod was a fifth round pick in 2015 and has played just two games in North America after coming over from Sweden. Jaros will likely serve as the Senators’ seventh defenseman on their road-trip.

Talbot stopped all 26 shots in the Oilers shutout win over the Flames on opening night. Calgary didn’t really test last year’s leader in wins, making it a great start to 2017-18. Days off will be few and far between for Talbot, who will make his second start tonight in Vancouver—he is a must-start on most, if not all nights.

Talbot was solid in his first season in Edmonton, but he was excellent in year-two. The 30-year-old netminder led the NHL in both games started (73) and wins (42) and will likely have a good chance to defend those crowns in 2017-18. Talbot is a workhorse on a team that many believe is a Stanley Cup contender this season. A year ago he was 3-0-0 vs. the Flames, but this is an improved Calgary team he will see tonight.

Severson was a restricted free agent coming off of his entry-level contract and was able to come to terms with the Devils a few days before the start of training camp. Severson owns a big point shot and some sleeper value entering the 2017-18 season, after posting 31 points (3G / 28A) in 80 games a season ago.

Copley was brought over from St. Louis as a part of the Kevin Shattenkirk and went 11-5-0 with a 2.15 GAA and .931 SV% in 16 games with Hershey (AHL) and was 5-4 with a 2.13 GAA and .933 in nine AHL playoff starts. Copley will start the 2017-18 season in Hershey.
