Kane missed the Red Wings' important game Thursday due to illness and is questionable to return to the lineup on Saturday in Florida. The 35-year-old has turned out to be one of the season's best signings as he has been nothing short of spectacular in his return from a back injury, with 17 goals, 40 points, 125 SOG and six PIMs in 41 games played this season.
The Kings are riding a four-game winning streak and will turn to Talbot to tend the twine for the third straight contest. Talbot has been excellent lately, winning four straight, allowing three or fewer goals in each and posting a stellar .929 SV%. The Kings enter action as +135 road underdogs against an Edmonton Oilers club that defeated them 4-2 last month
