Chiasson was a healthy scratch vs. Carolina on Tuesday but will replace Patrick Russell in the lineup on Thursday. Chiasson, who will skate on the second line with Leon Draisaitl and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, has 10 points (3G / 7A) in 28 games this season.
Larkin is not feeling well and missed the morning skate on Thursday morning. Head coach Jeff Blashill called him doubtful but the Red Wings' No.1 centre remains a game-time decision.
Talbot allowed three goals on 33 shots in the Flames win over the Kings on Saturday. It was Talbot's first start since mid-November but now he'll start for the second time in three games with the Flames in Arizona on the tail-end of a back-to-back.
