Talbot allowed one goal on nine shots after replacing Anders Nilsson in the Oilers’ loss to the Capitals on Friday. Talbot has posted a 2.22 GAA and .918 SV% in five starts and one relief appearance this season. The poor performance from Nilsson opens the door for Talbot to stake his claim as the unquestioned No. 1 in Edmonton.
Talbot gave up two goals on 24 shots in the Oilers win over the Flames on Saturday. He was given the second game of the back-to-back off, but will be back in goal tonight vs. Detroit. The Red Wings are currently tied for ninth in the NHL with 3.00 goals per game. Talbot enters with a 2.54 GAA and .908 SV% in four starts.
Talbot allowed four goals on 29 shots in the Oilers loss to the Blues on Thursday. Talbot has lost all three of his starts so far this season while posting a 2.73 GAA and .906 SV%. The Oilers are 27th in the NHL in scoring, so Edmonton will need to find some scoring before Talbot starts picking up wins.
Talbot allowed two goals on 26 shots in the Oilers loss to the Predators last Saturday. Talbot has a 2.05 GAA and .929 SV% in his first two games with Edmonton, but the Oilers offence has only scored one goal in front of him. He will get another crack at the Blues tonight—he stopped 28 of 30 vs. St. Louis in the season opener.

Talbot played very well in his first start with the Oilers, stopping 28 of 30 shots in a 2-1 loss to the Blues. It was a strong debut for the 28-year-old, who will see increased goal support as the season goes on. Tonight he will be in tough against Pekka Rinne and a strong Predators team.

After spending two years as Henrik Lundqvist’s backup, Talbot gets a chance to be a starter in Edmonton. He was 33-15-5 with a 2.00 GAA and .931 SV% in 53 starts in New York, so he has starter potential, but the Oilers are no where near as good as the Rangers. Talbot posted a 3.13 GAA and .892 SV% in four preseason games.
Larkin, 19, was the Red Wings’ first round pick (15th overall) in 2014 and has made tremendous strides since then. In his freshman year at the University of Michigan, he posted 15 goals and 32 assists (47 points) in 35 games. He decided to turn pro after that and scored five points (3G / 2A) in six playoff games with Grand Rapids. This September he was impressive as well, posting three goals, one assists and 15 shots on goal in five preseason games. This resume of work earned him a spot on the opening night roster and head coach Jeff Blashill said he plans on starting Larkin on a line with Henrik Zetterberg and Justin Abdelkader.
Gibson is expected to start this season in the AHL after the Ducks signed Anton Khudobin this offseason. Gibson was going to become a restricted free agent at the end of the season and Khudobin will become a UFA after this year. Which paves the way for Gibson to be a full-time NHLer next year. However, there is still a chance he is on the Ducks roster throughout this season.
Kane is facing rape allegations and the case is expected to go to a grand jury. Attending training camp is good news for Kane and his potential fantasy owners, but there is still uncertainty surrounding him until the case is closed.
Chiarot, 24, missed a chunk of time after having hand surgery this past season, but he finished his rookie season with eight points (2G / 6A) in 40 games with Winnipeg. In 24 games at the AHL level, he tallied four goals and five assists.
Gibson has missed the first four games of round 1 with a hand injury and the first two games of this series with an illness. Travelling to Calgary, suggests that Gibson could suit up as Frederik Andersen’s backup for Game 3 on Tuesday or Game 4 on Friday.
Gibson missed the entire first round with a hand injury and now he is sidelined with an illness. Look for him to be available for Game 3 in Anaheim.
Gibson missed the entire first round against the Jets but will return to the lineup fir Game 1 and serve as Frederik Andersen’s backup. Gibson was 2-2 with a 2.69 GAA and .919 SV% in four games in last year’s playoffs. If Andersen falters, they won’t hesitate to go to Gibson again.
Hamonic has not suited up in the playoffs and that will continue tonight in Game 7. If the Islanders win tonight and continue in the playoffs, Hamonic might be able to return, but if they lose, you won’t be seeing him until September.
Chiarot played in Game 1, but was a healthy scratch in games 2 and 3. Chiarot played 16:21 in Game 1 while paired with Dustin Byfuglien, tonight he is expected to be paired with Jacob Trouba. Chiarot had eight points (2G / 6A) in 40 games this season.
Gibson has missed the first three games of the playoffs and has not started a game since April 3rd. Gibson’s return to practice is a good sign that he will be available in the near future, but Frederik Andersen has the Ducks securely in front of the Jets and Gibson would return in a back-up role.
Kane has been out with broken collarbone since February 24th, but he will be back for game 1 vs. the Predators. This is a massive boost for the Blackhawks lineup and should make them clear-cut favourites in this series. He had 27 goals and 37 assists (64 points) in 61 games before getting injured.
