Cam Talbot News: Starting to waver

Talbot allowed five goals on 28 shots in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Predators. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

Talbot has lost consecutive contests, and he's allowed 12 goals over his last three outings. He's started five of the past six games, so he may be wearing down after sharing the crease with John Gibson for much of the first month of the season. Talbot has a 9-4-0 record with a 2.97 GAA and an .887 save percentage over 14 appearances (12 starts). Both Talbot and Gibson should get a start in the next two games, as the Red Wings host the Lightning on Friday before visiting the Bruins on Saturday.
