Talbot allowed three goals on 34 shots in a loss to the Blues on Monday. He will make his second start of the week in the front end of the Rangers’ back-to-back. He will take on the Leafs who have dropped two in a row and sit sixth in the Atlantic Division at 6-5-2.
The Rangers have a back-to-back set coming up this weekend, so it looks like they will go with Talbot on Saturday in Toronto and then Henrik Lundqvist at home vs. the Oilers on Sunday. The previous days practice is not as good of an indication as the game day skate, but we will revisit this on Saturday.
Talbot stopped all 12 shots that he faced in a relief effort of Henrik Lundqvist on October 12th. He only made two appearances in October, but the Rangers said he will see more playing time in the month of November. He has allowed four goals on 35 shots (.886 SV%) this season.
In his rookie season Talbot went 12-6-1 with a 1.64 GAA and .941 SV%, making himself one of fantasy's best spot-start options every time he got the nod.

Talbot stopped 24 of 26 shots in a loss to the Wild on March 13th. Tonight, Talbot will make only his second start in March.

Talbot gave up four goals on 36 shots in a loss to the Islanders in his last start back on January 21. What once looked like a goalie controversy, but was never really a goalie controversy, is not even close to a goalie controversy now.
