Talbot allowed two goals on 27 shots in the Oilers’ loss in Nashville last night.

Talbot allowed two goals on 44 shots in the Oilers’ shootout loss to Nashville on Friday night. Laurent Brossoit started on Saturday, so Talbot will be back between the pipes tonight in Anaheim. The 29-year-old has gone 1–1-0 with a 2.92 GAA and .900 SV% in two starts against the Ducks this season.
Ducks' head coach Randy Carlyle never reveals his starting netminder and with John Gibson ailing and the Ducks not holding a morning skate, it's impossible to get a read on who will go tonight. He called Gibson a game-time decision, so it looks like we will have to wait until warmups to find out who starts for the Ducks.
The Red Wings have two huge games vs. the Bruins and the Maple Leafs prior to the All-Star break, but they’ll be without Larkin. Larkin has had a tough season, posting just 12 goals and six assists (18 points) in 47 games this season and should be replaced by either Steve Ott, who is on IR, or Drew Miller, should he clear waivers.
Gibson left Saturday’s game with 5:38 left in the first period after making what appeared to be a routine save.
