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: 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.

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.

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.

Red Wings' Cam Talbot: Has Leafs' number again
Rotowire
Talbot made 38 saves on 40 shots in a 3-2 win over Toronto on Monday.
Talbot put up an all-world effort Monday after notching a 6-3, 20-save victory over the Maple Leafs on Saturday night. He's played back-to-back games after newly-acquired John Gibson coughed up five goals on 13 shots in a 5-1 loss to the Canadiens on Thursday. Talbot made two of his best saves on Auston Matthews at 5:17 of the third. He stopped Matthews' first shot from the left dot, and then he denied AM34 with a left pad save on the rebound. Talbot sees himself as good enough to platoon with Gibson; right now, the Red Wings will play the hot hand.

Red Wings' Cam Talbot: Earns win after wobbly start
Rotowire
Talbot made 20 saves in Saturday's 6-3 win over Toronto.
The Red Wings were down 2-0 by the 12:29 mark of the first, but Talbot battened the hatches and gave his team a shot at a comeback. The score was actually closer than it seemed -- the Wings scored two empty-net goals. Talbot remains the No. 2 netminder behind John Gibson, but he will still deliver fantasy value. Gibson needs to prove he can resurrect his career as a starter while staying healthy, and Talbot is a solid insurance policy.
