Talbot allowed two goals on 27 shots in his NHL debut vs. the Flyers on Thursday. It was a solid effort by the 26-year-old but he was still on the hook for the loss. He will have an even tougher matchup on Saturday when he faces a veteran Red Wings team. On a busy NHL day, there are probably going to be better options for you.
Talbot is 4-0-1 with a 2.49 GAA and .924 SV% in five appearances with Hartford (AHL) this season. If the Rangers were better offensively and defensively, he might make for a good spot start against the Flyers. However, he would be a risky option.
