Red Wings' Cam Talbot: Falls to Wild in overtime
Rotowire
Talbot allowed four goals on 39 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Wild.
Three separate one-goal leads didn't last, and Talbot ended up taking his third straight loss. He's 0-1-2 with 10 goals allowed on 110 shots in that span, as the Red Wings' defense has been a little leaky when he's between the pipes lately. The 38-year-old goalie is now 11-7-4 with a 3.00 GAA and an .893 save percentage across 24 appearances. Look for John Gibson to get the nod Saturday in Winnipeg, as he's handled a majority of the workload recently while Talbot is firmly in the backup role.

Rotowire
Talbot turned aside 38 of 40 shots in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Bruins, with Boston's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Rotowire
Talbot stopped 27 of 31 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Penguins.

Rotowire
Talbot stopped 25 of 27 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.
Talbot picked up his second overtime win in a row with this performance. He's allowed four goals on 60 shots over those two victories. Talbot has slipped into the backup role during December, but that's mostly been because of John Gibson's strong play. Talbot is now 11-6-2 with a 2.94 GAA and an .889 save percentage over 20 appearances this season. The Red Wings have a back-to-back up next, hosting the Jets on Wednesday before visiting the Penguins on Thursday, so both goalies should get a start within the next two games.

Red Wings' Cam Talbot: Gets little help in loss
Rotowire
Talbot made 24 saves in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Mammoth.
The veteran netminder couldn't do much on any of the pucks that got past him, most of which came from in close as Utah forwards went unmarked around the crease to clean up rebounds and pounce on loose pucks. Talbot hasn't gotten into the win column since Nov. 22, going 0-4-2 over his last six starts with an ugly 3.81 GAA and .853 save percentage.

Neither Talbot nor John Gibson has run away with the starting job, but Gibson has the momentum currently. The Red Wings' next game is in Chicago on Saturday, but a back-to-back next week -- at home versus the Islanders on Tuesday and against the Mammoth on Wednesday -- should allow Talbot to get another start in short order.

Rotowire
Talbot stopped 17 of 19 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Bruins.
Talbot returned to the crease after John Gibson played in a 6-3 loss to the Lightning on Friday. However, Talbot lost for a third straight outing despite the brief break. This negative stretch comes after a four-game winning streak. Talbot should continue as the Red Wings' No. 1 starter, but it's hard to trust him right now due to the inconsistencies he's showing on a game-to-game basis.

Talbot has lost consecutive contests, and he's allowed 12 goals over his last three outings.

Both Talbot and Gibson should get a start in the next two games, as the Red Wings host the Lightning on Friday before visiting the Bruins on Saturday.
