Talbot turned aside 31 of 33 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Ethen Frank was able to solve Talbot twice Sunday, but other than that, no other Capitals skater was able to get a puck past the Detroit netminder. Talbot is now 10-6-2 with an .887 save percentage and a 3.00 GAA through 19 appearances this season. The 38-year-old and John Gibson have alternated starts recently, and if that trend continues, Gibson will likely be in goal for the last game before the three-day holiday break against the Stars on Tuesday.

Talbot will start Sunday's home game against the Capitals, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

After Logan Thompson and John Gibson started Saturday's game, both teams will be switching goaltenders for the second game of the back-to-back, home-and-home set between Detroit and Washington. The 38-year-old Talbot has lost six straight starts, allowing three goals or more in all but one of those contests. Despite the dry spell, he still carries a 9-6-2 record into the game but with a 3.07 GAA and an .883 save percentage.

Talbot made 24 saves in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Mammoth.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran netminder couldn't do much on any of the pucks that got past him, most of which came from in close as Utah forwards went unmarked around the crease to clean up rebounds and pounce on loose pucks. Talbot hasn't gotten into the win column since Nov. 22, going 0-4-2 over his last six starts with an ugly 3.81 GAA and .853 save percentage.

Talbot is set to start at home against Utah on Wednesday, according to Kara Wolfbauer of ESPN.

EDGE Analysis

Talbot has a 9-5-2 record, 3.02 GAA and .885 save percentage in 17 appearances in 2025-26. He's searching for his first win since Nov. 22 -- Talbot is 0-3-2 with a 3.77 GAA and an .852 save percentage since his last victory. His upcoming adversary has been struggling too. After getting off to an 8-2-0 start, Utah has gone 8-14-3 across its past 25 games.

Talbot gave up three goals on 28 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

Talbot was fine in this outing, but he still took a fifth straight loss. The 38-year-old netminder has given up 19 goals in that span. For the season, he's at a 9-5-2 record with a 3.01 GAA and an .885 save percentage over 17 appearances. Neither Talbot nor John Gibson has run away with the starting job, but Gibson has the momentum currently. The Red Wings' next game is in Chicago on Saturday, but a back-to-back next week -- at home versus the Islanders on Tuesday and against the Mammoth on Wednesday -- should allow Talbot to get another start in short order.

Talbot will start on the road versus the Oilers on Thursday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Talbot is 0-2-2 with 16 goals allowed over his last four games. That skid has allowed John Gibson to claim a larger share of playing time recently. Talbot will have a tough time ending his skid against the Oilers, who have 18 goals over their last three games.

Talbot stopped 26 of 31 shots in Thursday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Talbot continues to play regularly between the pipes behind a struggling Red Wings defense, but his performances haven't exactly helped the cause. Talbot is winless across his last four appearances, going 0-2-2 with a 3.94 GAA and an .838 save percentage over that stretch.

Talbot will protect the road goal versus the Blue Jackets on Thursday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

EDGE Analysis

Talbot has lost his last three outings, giving up 11 goals on 68 shots in that 0-2-1 span. The 38-year-old will look to right the ship against Columbus, who has 16 goals scored while going 2-1-3 over the last six games.

Talbot stopped 17 of 19 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Talbot returned to the lineup after resting in the 6-3 loss to the Lightning on Friday, but he still lost for a third straight outing. This negative stretch comes after a four-game winning run between Nov. 13 and Nov. 22. Talbot should continue as the Red Wings' undisputed starter, but it's hard to trust him right now due to the inconsistencies he's showing on a game-to-game basis.

Talbot will patrol the visiting crease in Boston on Saturday, per Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

EDGE Analysis

Talbot has floundered in his last two starts, allowing nine goals on 48 shots in a pair of losses. He had strung four straight wins prior to his current cold streak, giving him a 9-4-0 record with a 2.97 GAA and an .887 save percentage across 14 appearances. The Bruins are generating 3.04 goals per game, 18th in the NHL.
