Cam Talbot - NHL News & Rumors

Hung out to dry Monday Talbot stopped 17 of 20 shots in Monday's 4-0 loss to the Blues, with St. Louis' final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact The Red Wings looked like they decided to start their holiday break early, and while Talbot wasn't busy, he faced a number of high-danger chances. The veteran netminder has dealt with a lower-body injury in December that's limited him to four outings, and he hasn't been especially sharp when he's been in the crease, going 0-3-0 with a 3.26 GAA and .891 save percentage. Detroit is off until Friday, and Talbot will try to use the time off to regain his focus.

Gives up four goals in loss Talbot stopped 29 of 33 shots in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.

Impact Talbot made just his third appearance of December after battling a nagging lower-body injury. The 37-year-old goalie didn't look great in this outing, which extended his winless run to four outings. Talbot is now 6-7-2 with a 2.78 GAA and a .914 save percentage over 17 appearances this season. Alex Lyon figures to get the nod in Saturday's rematch in Montreal, and if Talbot continues to struggle, he could lose playing time moving forward.

Suffers injury at practice Friday Talbot suffered a recurrence of his lower-body injury at practice Friday and will miss Saturday's tilt versus Toronto, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.

Impact Talbot returned to game action Thursday for the first time in five contests and turned aside 32 of 34 shots in a 4-1 loss in Philadelphia. Talbot is 6-6-2 with a 2.69 GAA and a .916 save percentage across 16 outings in 2024-25. Ville Husso will start against the Maple Leafs and the Red Wings will likely recall Sebastian Cossa from AHL Grand Rapids to back up.

Stellar in return from injury Talbot (lower body) made 32 saves in a 4-1 loss to the Flyers. He allowed two goals.

Impact It was Talbot's first game back from missing four due to injury. He was pelted with pucks -- he had already faced 29 shots by the end of two periods, and he bailed his team out time after time. Just one got past in the first two frames. The first shot of the third got past Talbot while his team was on a power play, and it pushed the game to 2-0. From that point on, he didn't see many pucks as his teammates upped their attempts, but unfortunately, they couldn't make a comeback in the third. Talbot gives the Wings a chance every time he's in the blue paint, but the team structure keeps him from getting wins. Use him as you did before he got hurt.

Set to start versus Flyers Talbot (lower body) is expected to be in the crease on the road against Philadelphia on Thursday, Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Talbot returns to the crease following a four-game absence due to his lower-body injury. With Talbot good to go, Sebastian Cossa was sent down to AHL Grand Rapids on Wednesday. It's been a tough stretch for Talbot of late, having posted a 1-3-1 record and 3.32 GAA in his last six outings.

Could return against Flyers Talbot (lower body) may be an option for Thursday's matchup with Philadelphia, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.

Impact If given the all-clear, Talbot seems the likely choice to start on the road versus the Flyers on Thursday, especially considering Ville Husso has yet to secure a victory in seven appearances this year and was given the hook in his most recent outing. Still, Talbot hasn't been significantly better this year, going 1-3-1 with a 3.32 GAA in his last six outings. The goalie situation figures to get even cloudier once Alex Lyon (lower body) returns to action.

Impact Talbot will miss his third straight game against Colorado on Saturday before sitting out Monday's matchup. It remains unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup.

Impact Talbot will sit out Detroit's two-game road trip, which includes Tuesday's matchup against Boston and Thursday's contest against Ottawa. There is a slight chance he could be ready for Saturday's home clash with Colorado, but head coach Derek Lalonde believes that would be a stretch. With Talbot and Alex Lyon (lower body) unavailable, Sebastian Cossa will be Ville Husso's backup versus the Bruins on Tuesday.

Won't suit up for Tuesday's game Talbot (lower body) won't dress for Tuesday's road game against Boston, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.

Head coach Derek Lalonde said that the team hopes to know more about Talbot's status Tuesday, but the 37-year-old will be unavailable for at least one game. Ville Husso will serve as the starting netminder against the Bruins, while Sebastian Cossa will operate as the backup.

If Talbot joins Lyon on the shelf, the Red Wings will likely bring up a netminder from the minors.

Vancouver is averaging 3.23 goals per game this season.
