Talbot made 25 saves in a 5-2 loss to Columbus on Thursday.
Talbot allowed four goals, all of which came in under 15 minutes in the second period. He has been solid this season in Detroit, registering a 17-12-3 record with a .905 save percentage and 2.89 GAA. Talbot started the calendar year with a 10-1-0 run, but he's 1-2-1 with 13 goals allowed over his last four games. Consider this a blip. He's the reason the Wings are in a wild-card spot, and he'll likely be the reason they stay there.
