Talbot stopped 34 of 36 shots in the Oilers 2-1 loss to the Kings last night. Anders Nilsson was originally slated to start, but Talbot will go on back-to-back nights after losing his last five starts. During his five-game losing skid, Talbot has posted a 3.09 GAA and .896 SV%, but it is hard to blame him with the way the Oilers have played.
