Talbot saved all 10 shots on goal he saw in Sunday's 3-0 shutout win over New Jersey.

EDGE Analysis

Talbot entered Sunday's contest at the start of the third period when John Gibson (undisclosed) was removed for precautionary reasons. Talbot's effort down the stretch helped the Red Wings post their first combined shutout since the 2019-20 campaign. Across four appearances since the Olympic break, the 38-year-old netminder has allowed 10 goals on 90 shots (.889 save percentage), which makes him a serviceable fantasy option in deep leagues if Gibson is set to miss time.

Talbot stopped 21 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Wings took a 3-1 lead into the third period, but Talbot couldn't make it stick. The veteran netminder has appeared in three straight games while John Gibson (upper body) has been banged up, going 1-1-1 and giving up 10 goals on 80 shots (.875 save percentage). That March 2 win over the Predators was Talbot's only victory in seven outings since the calendar flipped to 2026.

Talbot picked up the win in Monday's 4-2 victory over the Predators, stopping 18 of the 19 shots he faced after replacing John Gibson (upper body) to begin the second period.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson left after taking a hard shot off the shoulder, but Red Wings coach Todd McLellan indicated after the game that the issue wasn't thought to be serious. It was Talbot's first win in 2026, with his last W coming back on Dec. 28, and he's fallen firmly behind Gibson on the depth chart since then. Over six outings since the beginning of January, Talbot's gone 1-2-2 with a 3.39 GAA and .899 save percentage.

Talbot gave up five goals on 36 shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Talbot still hasn't won in 2026, going 0-2-2 with 16 goals allowed on 150 shots over his last five appearances. The 38-year-old netminder has gotten just eight goals of support in those outings. He's now at an 11-8-4 record with a 3.08 GAA and an .890 save percentage through 25 appearances this season. John Gibson has put forth better results, and as long as he can stay healthy, Talbot will be limited to backup duties.

Talbot will be between the road pipes in Carolina on Saturday, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Talbot's last start was Jan. 22, a span of 37 days, though he did come on in relief Jan. 31 versus Colorado. Talbot is 11-7-3 with a 3.00 GAA and an .892 save percentage across 24 appearances this season. The Hurricanes are sixth in NHL scoring, generating 3.41 goals per game.

Talbot made three saves in relief Saturday in a 5-0 loss to Colorado. He allowed one goal.

EDGE Analysis

Talbot came into the game to start the third period. John Gibson had a rough week (0-2-1), but Talbot has had a rough month. The 38-year-old Talbot started just three times in January, and he allowed 10 goals and put up a record of 0-1-2.

Talbot allowed four goals on 39 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Three separate one-goal leads didn't last, and Talbot ended up taking his third straight loss. He's 0-1-2 with 10 goals allowed on 110 shots in that span, as the Red Wings' defense has been a little leaky when he's between the pipes lately. The 38-year-old goalie is now 11-7-4 with a 3.00 GAA and an .893 save percentage across 24 appearances. Look for John Gibson to get the nod Saturday in Winnipeg, as he's handled a majority of the workload recently while Talbot is firmly in the backup role.

Talbot is expected to start on the road against Minnesota on Thursday, per Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News.

EDGE Analysis

Talbot last started Jan. 13 when he stopped 38 of 40 shots en route to a 3-0 loss to Boston. He has an 11-7-3 record, 2.95 GAA and .892 save percentage in 22 outings in 2025-26. The Wild have been strong this season with a 28-14-9 record, but they've been a mixed bag recently, going 3-4-1 across their past eight games. Minnesota is tied for 15th in goals per game with 3.16 in 2025-26.

Talbot turned aside 38 of 40 shots in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Bruins, with Boston's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

EDGE Analysis

Talbot didn't have much chance on either of the pucks that got past him, and the Red Wings left their offense on the plane in Boston. It was the veteran netminder's first regulation loss since Dec. 17, and he has gone 2-1-1 in his last four outings. On the season, Talbot is 11-7-3 in 22 appearances with a 2.95 GAA and an .892 save percentage.
