Talbot was part of the Bruins' fourth-line rotation during Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Talbot remains with the Bruins after going unclaimed on waivers, though at this stage, he could end up being in and out of the team's lineup early on, with the B's currently carrying a couple of spare forwards.

Talbot has cleared waivers, CSN's Joe Haggerty reports.

EDGE Analysis

It remains unclear whether Talbot with remain with the B's, or be sent to AHL Providence, but as of Tuesday, the veteran forward was still skating with the big club.

The Bruins have waived Talbot, Joe Haggerty of CSN New England reports.

EDGE Analysis

We'll have to see if another team claims Talbot, but the move would appear to clear a path for fellow forward Tyler Randell to open the regular season on the big club's roster.

Talbot gathered an assist in Saturday's 3-2 OT loss to the Flyers, his first point as a Bruin. Talbot's first point in the black and gold came in style, as set up Brad Marchand's game-winning goal in overtime. The gritty veteran doesn't offer much in terms of fantasy value (16 points in 65 games), but he could be a nice little x-factor for the B's as they push to secure a playoff spot -- especially since Talbot's done his best work in the postseason, with 39 points in 84 games.

In his debut with the Bruins, Talbot saw 10:56 worth of ice time in the team's shootout loss to the Flames on Thursday. Talbot, acquired from the Avs on Monday in advance of the NHL trade deadline, brings grit and experience to the B's, but his fantasy impact figures to be modest in his role as a bottom-six forward for the team. In 64 games this season, Talbot has recorded five goals and 15 points.

The Avalanche traded Talbot to the Bruins on Monday in exchange for Jordan Caron, TSN.ca reports. Talbot, who has notched five goals and 10 assists in 63 games with the Avs this season, gives the Bruins some added depth and experience up front, something that will come in handy, with centers Gregory Campbell and David Krejci currently sidelined.

Talbot scored the Avs' lone goal in Saturday's loss to the Wild. The goal was Talbot's first in a month, but his lack of ice time (7:47) in the game might be the more notable development. An inconsistent minutes count makes it hard to rely on Talbot for much more than the occasional point here or there, which simply isn't good enough to warrant ownership, even in most deep leagues.

Talbot potted his fourth goal of the season in Friday's 3-0 triumph over the Predators. The tally went down as Talbot's first game-winner of the season. As a fixture in the Avs' bottom six, scoring opportunities are rare for Talbot, and he typically doesn't deliver an overwhelming amount of hits or PIM to compensate for it.

Talbot registered an assist in Saturday's win over the Sabres. In a rather unusual decision, coach Patrick Roy decided to deploy Talbot, who has typically been a bottom-six forward, on the top line Saturday. He was able to hook up with defenseman Erik Johnson for the Avs' first goal of the game and ended up seeing 19 minutes of ice time. Given that the Avs turned in one of their better games of the season Saturday, it wouldn't be surprising if Talbot stuck around on the top line for another game or two, though it's probably unlikely that he'll remain there permanently.

Talbot scored his first goal of the season and added an assist in Saturday's loss to Philadelphia. His fantasy value has typically been restricted to spot starts over the years and nothing has really changed. This was a nice night, but that's about it.
