Talbot stopped 34 of 35 shots in the Oilers 1-0 loss to the Ducks on Thursday. It was a tough loss for Talbot, who played extremely well, and should get the nod today vs. the Coyotes. He has gone 2-3-1 with a 2.41 GAA and .934 SV% in December, clearly his best month as an Oiler. Today he starts on home ice where he has gone 3-5-0 with a 2.81 GAA and .911 SV% this season.
Gibson stopped all 14 shots that he faced in the Ducks shutout win over the Flames on Tuesday. It was Gibson’s second straight win and sixth since being called up. Gibson has posted a strong 1.81 GAA and .926 SV% this season, but he still needs more help from his offence if he is going to continue to win hockey games.
Talbot was yanked after allowing three goals on 14 shots in the Oilers loss vs. the Kings on Tuesday. Talbot has gone 2-2-1 with a 2.68 GAA and .926 SV% in December. He has struggled recently, but has a good matchup against the NHL’s lowest scoring teams. Talbot comes in at 3-4-0 with a 3.06 GAA and .901 SV% on home ice this season.
Gibson allowed two goals on 26 shots in the Ducks win over the Flyers on Sunday. Gibson snapped a three-game losing streak for Gibson, who is 3-3-1 with a 2.06 GAA and .914 SV% in December. Tonight Gibson will see the Flames for the second time—he stopped 19 of 20 shots after replacing Anton Khudobin in a 5-3 win back in late November.
Talbot allowed one goal on seven shots after replacing Anders Nilsson in the Oilers loss in Calgary on Sunday. Talbot has gone 2-1-1 with a 2.27 GAA and .938 SV% in December. Tonight he will make his third start against Kings—in the first two starts, Talbot went 0-2-0 with a 3.56 GAA and .887 SV%.
Larkin missed Saturday’s game with an undisclosed injury, but he skated on the Red Wings’ top line and top power play in the morning skate and is expected to be in the lineup tonight. Larkin has goals in each of his last two games and continues to lead the NHL in plus-minus (+21).
Gustafsson, 23, has recorded 11 points (3G / 8A) in 27 games with Rockford this season. With David Rundblad on waivers, Gustafsson will take his spot on the roster and could be in the lineup on Tuesday.
Gibson allowed three goals on 22 shots in the Ducks OT loss in New York on Tuesday. Despite posting an impressive 1.97 GAA since being recalled, Gibson has just four wins in nine starts. The Ducks lack of offence is dragging Gibson down and until they find a spark, he remains as a No. 2 fantasy option.
Gibson allowed one goal on 19 shots after replacing Frederik Andersen in Monday’s loss in Brooklyn. The Ducks will wrap up their pre-Christmas schedule with a back-to-back tonight in New York. Gibson is 4-4-1 on the year but 0-2-0 with a 2.68 GAA and .905 SV% on the road this season. He is a great young goalie, but the lack of Ducks’ scoring will limit the amount of wins he collects.

Talbot allowed four goals on 37 shots in the Oilers’ 4-0 shutout loss in Chicago last Thursday. Anders Nilsson struggled again on Saturday, so it will be Talbot tonight vs. the Jets.

Talbot made 47 saves on 49 shots in the Oilers’ OT win in Boston on Monday. It was a superb outing for Talbot who is trying to wrestle the starting gig back from Anders Nilsson. It won’t be easy for him to string wins together with a rough matchup in Chicago tonight. In his first start vs. the Blackhawks he allowed four goals on 28 shots in a 4-2 loss.
Gibson was pulled after allowing three goals on 17 shots in the Ducks’ loss to the Hurricanes last Friday. It was his first rough outing since being called up, going 4-3-1 with a 1.74 GAA and .934 SV%. With Anton Khudobin now in San Diego (AHL), Gibson is here to stay and he makes for a great start tonight in Buffalo.
Talbot allowed four goals on 32 shots in the Oilers’ loss in Detroit on November 27th. Anders Nilsson has started the last seven games, but Talbot will go tonight in Boston.

Gibson stopped 23 of 24 shots in the Ducks win over the Penguins on Sunday. He has been excellent since being recalled from the AHL, winning four of six while posting a 1.47 GAA and .944 SV%. He is forcing the Ducks to continue to play him and he makes for a great start tonight vs. the struggling Hurricanes.
