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.

Red Wings' Cam Talbot: Starting to waver
Rotowire
Talbot allowed five goals on 28 shots in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Predators. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.
Talbot has lost consecutive contests, and he's allowed 12 goals over his last three outings. He's started five of the past six games, so he may be wearing down after sharing the crease with John Gibson for much of the first month of the season. Talbot has a 9-4-0 record with a 2.97 GAA and an .887 save percentage over 14 appearances (12 starts). 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.

Red Wings' Cam Talbot: Receiving starting nod
Rotowire
Talbot will protect the home goal versus the Predators on Wednesday, Michael Whitaker of The Hockey News reports.
Talbot saw a four-game winning streak snapped versus the Devils on Monday, as he allowed four goals on 20 shots in the loss. The Predators are a far less intimidating matchup, as they've scored just 12 goals over their last six games, going 1-5-0 in that span.

Red Wings' Cam Talbot: Early struggles in loss
Rotowire
Talbot stopped 15 of 19 shots in Monday's 4-3 loss to New Jersey.
Despite playing relatively well down the stretch, Talbot surrendered three goals in the final eight minutes of the first period. With the loss, the 38-year-old netminder has a 9-3-0 record with a 2.78 GAA and an .892 save percentage through 13 appearances this season. Monday's defeat ended his four-game win streak in which he had allowed just seven goals. With the Red Wings currently occupying a playoff spot in the Atlantic Division, Talbot should continue to find the win column barring a full-team collapse. If he can stay healthy, the 13-year NHL veteran goaltender should contend for the 20-win mark for his third straight season, making him a solid fantasy option in most two-goalie formats. After making two consecutive starts, the Red Wings may look to John Gibson on Wednesday before Talbot potentially grabs his next start Friday against Tampa Bay.

Red Wings' Cam Talbot: Nabs fourth straight win in OT
Rotowire
Talbot stopped 31 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
The veteran netminder allowed a goal in each regulation period as the Red Wings fell behind 3-1, but a late rally capped by Alex DeBrincat's winner 1:50 into the extra frame gave Talbot his fourth straight win. Talbot has allowed just seven goals on 86 shots (.919 save percentage) during his win streak, as he makes a case to emerge from a timeshare with John Gibson and lock down the top job in the Detroit crease.

Red Wings' Cam Talbot: Nabs third straight win
Rotowire
Talbot made 20 saves in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

John Gibson has stumbled over that period with a record of 0-3-1, a 3.46 GAA and an .875 save percentage in five outings.

The Red Wings had been alternating goalies, but Talbot has gone 4-1-0 over his last five games while allowing just 11 goals in that span.

Red Wings' Cam Talbot: Earns low-scoring win
Rotowire
Talbot stopped 18 of 19 shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Rangers.
The Red Wings dominated the pace of this game, but it was tied for the vast majority of the time, requiring Talbot to be sharp until Lucas Raymond broke a 1-1 tie with 3:47 left in the third period. Talbot has won four of his last five games while allowing just 11 goals in that span. The 38-year-old netminder is up to 7-2-0 with a 2.71 GAA and an .896 save percentage across 10 appearances. He's been alternating starts with John Gibson, and if that pattern holds, Gibson would face the Kraken on Tuesday before Talbot opposes the Islanders on Thursday, with both games in Detroit.

Red Wings' Cam Talbot: Gets win in relief Thursday
Rotowire
Talbot picked up the win in Thursday's 6-3 victory over the Ducks, turning aside 10 of 11 shots after replacing John Gibson (upper body) to begin the third period.
Detroit took a 3-2 lead into the final frame, but it was Alex DeBrincat's power-play tally early in the third that proved to be the game-winner, giving Talbot the W. The 38-year-old netminder has won three of his last four decisions while working in a strict rotation with Gibson, but the latter's injury could push Talbot into a full starter's workload. On the season, Talbot has gone 6-2-0 in nine outings with a 2.92 GAA and .892 save percentage.

Rotowire
Talbot stopped 22 of 26 shots in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Rangers.

Red Wings' Cam Talbot: Claims another shootout win
Rotowire
Talbot stopped 16 of 18 shots in Sunday's 3-2 shootout win over the Sharks.
Talbot won his second shootout in a row. He's allowed five goals on 57 shots over those two games. The 38-year-old has split the crease with John Gibson during this road trip, and it's unclear if head coach Todd McLellan is leaning toward an even division of work or a hot-hand approach at this point. Talbot has done his part with a 5-1-0 record, a 2.76 GAA and an .897 save percentage through seven appearances. The Red Wings have played pretty well on the whole, making both goalies viable options in fantasy formats that value wins above all else. Detroit's road trip concludes with a tough game in Vegas on Tuesday.

Red Wings' Cam Talbot: Late lapses in shootout win
Rotowire
Talbot stopped 35 of 38 shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kings.
Talbot squandered a two-goal lead over the final 2:13 of regulation. The Kings also looked to have a goal in overtime, but it was taken off the board for goalie interference, and the Red Wings went on to win in the shootout after Talbot turned aside all three attempts. Overall, it was a much better performance for the 38-year-old after he was torched for seven goals on 30 shots against the Islanders last Thursday. Talbot is now 4-1-0 with a 2.94 GAA and an .897 save percentage over six outings. John Gibson will start in Anaheim on Friday, but it remains to be seen how the goaltending workload will shake out in Detroit, though it appears head coach Todd McLellan has mostly gone with a hot-hand approach.

Talbot has a 3-1-0 record, 2.98 GAA and .890 save percentage in five outings this year. He will get his first start since he allowed seven goals on 30 shots last Thursday against the Islanders. The Kings might be a tough team for a goaltender looking to rebound, though. LA has gone 4-0-1 in its past five games while averaging 3.20 goals over that stretch. Following the clash against the Kings, Detroit plans to start John Gibson in Anaheim on Friday.

Red Wings' Cam Talbot: Rough night in blue paint
Rotowire
Talbot made 23 saves Thursday in a 7-2 loss to the Islanders.
This loss certainly wasn't all on Talbot, but he'd presumably like a few of his opportunities back. The Wings will recalibrate after losing a second straight game. They aren't the team that started 5-0-0, but they aren't as bad as they looked Thursday.
