Impact Talbot also made six saves on nine shootout attempts to earn his first win in three outings. The 36-year-old netminder gave up seven goals on 58 shots over his previous two games, his first multi-game losing skid of the season. He's been excellent as the Kings' top goalie this year, posting a 13-5-2 record with a 2.02 GAA and a .926 save percentage over 20 appearances. The Kings have a back-to-back up next with a visit to San Jose on Tuesday before they host a rematch with the Kraken on Wednesday. Talbot will likely start one of those games, while David Rittich or Pheonix Copley (undisclosed) will likely handle the other contest.

Talbot's road record is a sparkling 9-0-0 this season, and that ties the NHL record for longest season-opening road win streak by a netminder. He's now in the record books alongside the great Glenn Hall of Chicago, who went 9-0-0 on the road to start the 1965-66 season.

Impact Talbot gave up a goal to Josh Manson in the first period, but he blanked the Avalanche the rest of the way. Talbot has eight wins over his last 10 outings, and he's given up more than two goals just once in that span. The 36-year-old is up to a strong 11-4-1 record with a stellar 1.96 GAA and a .930 save percentage through 16 games.

Loses in low-scoring game Talbot stopped 13 of 15 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Capitals.

Impact The Kings outshot the Capitals 38-15, but goals by Anthony Mantha and Connor McMichael were enough to send Talbot to just his second loss in eight November games. The 36-year-old has been sharper than he showed Wednesday, so it's safe to say this is just a bump in the road. He's at a 10-4-1 record with a 2.02 GAA and a .928 save percentage through 15 outings. The Kings are off until Sunday's home game versus the Avalanche.

The 36-year-old has won seven of his last eight outings, posting a remarkable 1.50 GAA and a .949 save percentage in that span.

He's not the best goalie in the NHL, but he's proving he can inspire a team by playing inspired hockey. Talbot has won three straight games and has the Kings in playoff contention.

NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Talbot will start after losing his last outing Saturday versus the Flyers, allowing four goals on 26 shots. The 36-year-old has seven wins in 11 appearances as well as a 2.21 GAA and a .923 save percentage. He'll have a tough task at hand Thursday, as the Panthers have won five straight games.

NOVEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Can't solve Flyers Talbot stopped 22 of 26 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Flyers.

Impact Talbot had trouble with the Flyers' second line, taking his first regulation loss since Oct. 21. The 36-year-old also hadn't allowed more than three goals in any of his previous six outings prior to Saturday's setback. He's now at a 7-3-1 record with a 2.21 GAA and a .923 save percentage over 11 appearances. He'll have plenty of time to shake this one off, as the Kings don't play again until Thursday versus the Panthers, though it's unclear if Talbot will get the nod for that game.

Talbot is now at 7-2-1 with a 2.03 GAA and a .930 save percentage through 10 outings. After a slow start, he's been dialed in as the Kings' starter. While head coach Todd McLellan has kept a winning netminder between the pipes so far, Talbot's heavy workload Wednesday may earn him a night off Thursday versus the Penguins.

NOVEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

The Golden Knights suffered their first regulation loss of the season in their previous game, a 4-2 loss to the Ducks.
