Red Wings' Cam Talbot: Gets starting nod versus Devils
Rotowire
Talbot will be between the home pipes against New Jersey on Thursday, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.

Kings' Cam Talbot: Torched for six more goals
Rotowire
Talbot allowed six goals on 40 shots in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 3.
Talbot has given up a total of 16 tallies over three games in the first round, so he's lucky the Kings are only down 2-1 in the series. The 36-year-old's play has been lackluster, but he's not getting a ton of help from his defense. Game 4 is Sunday, but it's unclear if the Kings will stick with Talbot much longer if he continues to struggle, which could open the door for David Rittich to get a look.

Kings' Cam Talbot: Set to start Friday
Rotowire
Talbot is expected to start at home against Edmonton in Game 3 on Friday, per Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period.
Talbot has struggled against the Oilers, allowing 10 goals on 75 shots (.867 save percentage) over two playoff contests. Edmonton ranked fourth offensively with 3.56 goals per game in the regular season, so the Oilers are likely to continue to give the veteran goaltender trouble, especially because Talbot's been floundering for a while now. He has a 2.92 GAA and an .897 save percentage over his past 17 outings dating back to March 7.
