Gets little help in Thursday's loss Talbot made 23 saves in Thursday's 2-0 preseason loss to the Maple Leafs. Impact Toronto's top stars were sitting this one out, but Talbot was unable to contain Nick Robertson, who beat him twice on five shots. The 37-year-old journeyman netminder will be playing for his seventh different team in the last seven seasons, but after posting a dependable 2.50 GAA and .913 save percentage for the Kings in 2023-24 over 54 appearances -- his biggest workload since 2017-18 -- Talbot could be the Red Wings' best option between the pipes for the upcoming campaign, ahead of Alex Lyon and Ville Husso.
