Talbot was the first goalie off during Friday's morning skate, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Penguins.
Talbot didn't appear in either of the Blue Jackets' first two games of the regular season, but he appears set to make his regular-season debut Friday. Across 34 regular-season appearances with Detroit last year, he went 12-9-6 with a 3.19 GAA and .883 save percentage.
