Talbot will start in St. Louis on Wednesday.

Talbot had the night off on Monday, a 3-0 shutout victory for David Rittich and the Kings, but he will return to the crease on Wednesday. The 36-year-old Talbot was on the losing side in his last outing, allowing three goals on 34 shots (.912 SV%) in a 4-1 loss to the Dallas Stars, but has been excellent overall lately, boasting a .940 SV% in his last eight games (5-2-1). The Kings enter action as -151 road favourites against a Blues club that snapped a three-game losing skid on Monday.

Mrazek will start Tuesday vs. the Ducks.

The Blackhawks have won two of their last three outings, but Mrazek has not been in between the pipes for either. The Czech netminder has allowed four or more goals in three straight (0-3-0) and is riding a six-game losing skid (0-5-1). That said, Mrazek and the Blackhawks are slight -107 home favourites against an Anaheim Ducks club that has scored only six goals in their last four games (1-3-0).

Rasmussen (undisclosed) took full part in Monday's morning skate after leaving Saturday's contest with an injury.

Rasmussen scored two points (1G / 1A) before exiting Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights with an undisclosed injury. He could be an option to return to the Red Wings' next game on Tuesday against the Buffalo Sabres as he was a full participant in practice on Monday.

The Red Wings have acquired Radim Simek and a 2024 seventh-round pick from the Sharks for Klim Kostin.

Simek has been an NHL regular with the San Jose Sharks since the 2018-19 season but has spent the entirety of the 2023-24 campaign in the AHL. In 40 games with the San Jose Barracuda, he has 16 points (4G / 12A) and 29 penalty minutes.

Talbot will start against the Senators on Thursday.

After a miserable two-month stretch for Talbot, he appears to have returned to form and will tend the twine for the fifth straight game on Thursday. Talbot was excellent in a 2-1 losing effort in overtime against the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday, saving 29 of 31 shots (.935 SV%). The Kings enter action as -191 home favourites against an Ottawa Senators club that was defeated 2-1 by the Anaheim Ducks last night.

The Florida Panthers have acquired Vladimir Tarasenko from the Ottawa Senators.

Tarasenko joined the Senators in the offseason on a one-year contract, a move that did not materialize for the club as they are trending towards another season without playoff hockey. On Wednesday, the Panthers acquired Tarasenko from the Senators in return for a conditional 2024 fourth-round pick and a 2025 third-round pick, with Ottawa retaining half of his salary. Tarasenko was playing some of his best hockey of the season before the trade, scoring nine points (4G / 5A) in his last 13 games.

Talbot will start against the Canucks on Tuesday.

After a rough two-month stretch, Talbot has seemingly re-emerged as the go-to guy between the pipes for the Kings and will start for the third straight game. Talbot has won four of his last five starts, allowing fewer than two goals four times and posting a stellar .955 SV%. The Kings enter action with even -105 odds at home in a divisional matchup against the Vancouver Canucks.
