Talbot (back) will start Friday's home game against the Canadiens.

Red Wings' Cam Talbot: Stellar in return from injury
Rotowire
Talbot made 32 saves in a 4-1 loss to the Flyers. He allowed two goals.
It was Talbot's first appearance since missing four games due to a lower-body injury. He was pelted with pucks -- he had already faced 29 shots by the end of two periods -- and he bailed his team out time after time, as he allowed just one goal over the first two frames. The first shot of the third got past Talbot while his team was on a power play, and it pushed the game to 2-0. From that point on, he didn't see many pucks as his teammates upped their attempts, but unfortunately, they couldn't make a comeback in the third. Talbot gives the Red Wings a chance every time he's in the blue paint, but the team structure keeps him from getting wins. Fantasy managers should use him as they did before he got hurt.

Red Wings' Cam Talbot: Could return against Flyers
Rotowire
Talbot (lower body) may be an option for Thursday's matchup with Philadelphia, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.
If given the all-clear, Talbot seems the likely choice to start on the road versus the Flyers on Thursday, especially considering Ville Husso has yet to secure a victory in seven appearances this year and was given the hook in his most recent outing. Still, Talbot hasn't been significantly better this year, going 1-3-1 with a 3.32 GAA in his last six outings. The goalie situation figures to get even cloudier once Alex Lyon (lower body) returns to action.
