Talbot will start in Florida on Thursday.

Talbot will start for the third straight game as the Kings attempt to snap a season-worst six-game losing streak (0-4-2). After posting an otherworldly .931 SV% in his first 18 games (12-4-2), Talbot has fallen off in a big way, with a more pedestrian .903 SV% in his last nine outings (2-5-2). The Kings will be hard-pressed to snap their losing skid on Thursday as they are +121 road underdogs against one of the league's hottest teams, the Florida Panthers, who will be searching for their eighth-straight victory.

Lyon will start Thursday vs. Edmonton.

Since Lyon returned shortly after the Christmas break, the Red Wings have bounced back from a 1-5-0 skid in his absence with a 4-1-0 record in their last five, all games that Lyon has started. Lyon has undoubtedly been the most reliable netminder for the Red Wings this season, as is evident from his .921 SV% over his last three games (3-0-0). That said, the Red Wings are +144 home underdogs against a tough opponent in the Edmonton Oilers, among the league's hottest teams and are riding an eight-game winning streak.

Talbot will start in Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

Talbot will return to the crease on Tuesday as the Kings attempt to snap a season-worst five-game losing skid (0-3-2). After a surprising start to the season, Talbot was among the league's top goaltenders, boasting a gaudy .933 SV% through 17 games (12-4-1), but has since fallen back to earth, losing seven of his last nine (2-5-2), posting a pedestrian .903 SV%. That said, the Kings are still -124 road favourites against a Tampa Bay Lightning team that has lost four of their last six (2-4-0).

Petry will draw into the lineup for Thursday's game against the Kings.

Petry will slide back into Detroit's lineup on Thursday as they opt to dress seven defensemen in the absence of Andrew Copp (lower-body). Petry has one goal and nine assists in 29 games this season.

Jeff Petry
Copp (lower-body) is listed as a scratch for Thursday's game in San Jose.

Copp did not practice Wednesday due to a lower-body injury and was a game-time decision Thursday vs. Los Angeles. The 29-year-old has struggled to live up to his decently sized contract as he only has five goals, 17 points, 68 SOG, 18 PIMs and a -4 plus/minus in 38 games played in 2023-24.

Andrew Copp
Alex Lyon will start Thursday in Los Angeles.

Lyon will make his fourth consecutive start between the Red Wing crease as he goes for his second-consecutive win after a 24 save (.889 SV%) victory over San Jose in his last start. The 31-year-old started the season as Detroit's third goaltender but has taken over the starting gig due to his strong play and 6-4-0 record, 2.53 GAA and .917 SV%. He will head to Los Angeles to take on the Kings, who have lost three straight games but are 10th in the NHL in goals per game (3.38).

Copp did not practice Wednesday due to a lower-body injury and will be a game-time decision Thursday vs. Los Angeles as the team determines the severity of the ailment. The 29-year-old has struggled to live up to his decently sized contract as he only has five goals, 17 points, 68 SOG, 18 PIMs and a -4 plus/minus in 38 games played in 2023-24.

Talbot will start against the Maple Leafs on Tuesday.

Talbot will start for the fifth time in the last six games for the Kings when they host the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday. The 36-year-old Talbot has lost three of his last four outings (1-2-1), his worst run of the season, but was terrific on Saturday, saving 24 of 26 shots (.917 SV%) in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Edmonton Oilers. The Kings are -127 home favourites against a Maple Leafs team that has lost five of their last six games (1-4-1)

Justin Holl will draw back into the Red Wings' lineup Tuesday in San Jose.

Holl was a healthy scratch for the Red Wings' last two games but will draw back into the lineup Tuesday for Jeff Petry. The 31-year-old Holl signed a three-year, $10.2 million contract in the offseason and has provided no goals, four assists, five SOG, 18 PIMs and a +5 plus/minus in 25 games played this season.

Justin Holl
Jeff Petry will be a healthy scratch Thursday in San Jose.

Petry has a goal, nine assists, 34 SOG, 10 PIMs and a +1 plus/minus through 29 games this year but will be a healthy scratch Thursday as Detroit heads to San Jose. Justin Holl will be brought in after a two-game absence to replace the 36-year-old Petry.

Alex Lyon will start Tuesday in San Jose.

Lyon has struggled since returning from a five-game absence due to an injury but will attempt to get his game in order in a favourable matchup against the San Jose Sharks. Lyon has allowed seven goals on 59 shots (.881 SV%) in his last two games (1-1-0) after posting a .938 SV% in his six games before (4-2-0). The Red Wings, losers of seven of their last nine (2-7-0), are -180 road favourites against a Sharks club that has lost eight straight (0-8-0).
