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.

Red Wings' Cam Talbot: Expected starter for Thursday
Rotowire
Talbot is set to start on the road against LA on Thursday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports Wednesday.
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.

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.

Red Wings' Cam Talbot: Season ends with loss
Rotowire
Talbot made 16 saves in a 4-3 overtime loss to Toronto on Thursday.
Talbot finished the season with a 21-19-5 record, two shutouts, a 2.93 GAA and a .901 save percentage.

Talbot has one more year on his contract, but he'll be 38 heading into next season, and the sunset is approaching on his career.

Talbot has gone 3-2-1 with a 2.67 GAA and a .912 save percentage over six games in April. The 37-year-old will face a nearly full-strength Toronto lineup, as the Maple Leafs have had too many injuries and not enough cap space to rest players.

Talbot has been cold in recent weeks, going 3-8-1 with a 2.96 GAA and .897 save percentage over his last 12 appearances. He'll face a tough test Monday, as the Stars rank third in the league with 3.38 goals per game. Head coach Todd McLellan said Monday that Petr Mrazek will start in one of the Red Wings' final two games of the regular season, so it's possible that Talbot could be making his final start of the year Monday.

Red Wings' Cam Talbot: Eighth loss in last 11 starts
Rotowire
Talbot made 27 saves Thursday in a 4-1 loss to Florida.
Since the start of April, Talbot has gone 2-2-1 with 12 goals allowed in five starts. But prior to that, he rang up six consecutive losses (21 goals allowed). Talbot had seen his starts decline after Petr Mrazek (head) was injured seven games ago. Mrazek returned Thursday as the backup, so Talbot could be relegated to the end of the pine again. Monitor carefully, especially in daily formats deep in the fantasy playoffs.
