Talbot stopped 42 of 44 shots in the Oilers 2-1 overtime loss in Pittsburgh on Tuesday. Talbot has been much better in his last three starts, stopping 94 of 99 shots (.950 SV%) that he has faced. Tonight he will face a Dallas team that is 20th in the NHL scoring (2.89 GF/PG) through their first nine games.

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.

Compher broke his thumb against the Blues on Friday and is expected to miss three weeks. Moving Compher to IR opened up a roster spot for the Avalanche to recalled A.J. Greer from San Antonio (AHL). Look for him to miss roughly 6-8 games.

Mrazek stopped 19 of 21 shots after replacing Jimmy Howard in the Red Wings’ loss in Toronto on Wednesday. After allowing a goal on the first shot that he faced, Mrazek settled in and nearly led a Red Wings’ comeback. So far this season he has stopped 72 of 80 shots (.900 SV%) and he will be in tough tonight vs. the high-powered Capitals.

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.

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.

Mrazek allowed three goals on 32 shots in the Red Wings loss in Dallas on Tuesday. With Jimmy Howard starting last night, Mrazek will get his second start of the week tonight in Vegas. The Golden Knights have surprisingly bust out of the gate this season but Mrazek will look to snap their bid for a 4-0 start.

Jimmy Howard was in the starter’s crease on Monday, but it looks like Mrazek will start his first game of the season tonight in Dallas. This seems like a weird time to give Mrazek a start considering Howard has been playing great and they have a back-to-back on Thursday/Friday. The 25-year-old is coming off of a tough season, particularly on the road, where he went 9-11-4 with a 3.15 GAA and .901 SV%

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.

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.

Chiasson, 27, spent last year in Calgary after two years in Ottawa and had 12 goals and 12 assists (24 points) in 81 games. Chiasson will make his Capitals debut on the third line while Tom Wilson is suspended.

DeBrincat, 19, was “sent down” yesterday as a paper transaction to get under the salary cap ceiling before they put Marian Hossa on LTIR. The 2016 No.39 pick had 127 points (65G / 62A) in 63 games with Erie (OHL) last season and is expected to open the 2017-18 season on either the second or third line.

Copp was dealing with a sore knee after taking a shot off of his right leg during the preseason. Copp is expected to start the season on the third line with Adam Lowry and Joel Armia. The 23-year-old forward had nine goals and eight assists (17 points) in 64 games with the Jets last season.
