Copp was forced to leave Tuesday's game vs. the Hurricanes with an upper-body injury and head coach Paul Maurice doesn't expect him to play before Christmas. Copp will be re-evaluated and the Jets will likely release a more detailed timetable before the break.
Talbot stopped 46 of the 48 shots that he faced in the Flames win in Arizona last Tuesday. Talbot has been impressive in his last two starts, going 2-0 while stopping 76 of the 81 shots (.938 SV%). He draws a tough matchup with the Penguins in town. Pittsburgh has gone 5-1-0 in their last six, will get Evgeny Malkin back tonight and will limit Talbot's goal-support.
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.

Simek is expected to miss two weeks as he undergoes treatment on his meniscus, which means Tim Heed will draw into the lineup on Sunday.

He is 1-5-0 with a 3.23 GAA and .893 SV% six starts this season and isn't a great option, even against a Kings team that played last night.
Campbell allowed just one goal on 34 shots in the Kings win over the Jets on Saturday. The fantastic outing earned Campbell a second consecutive start on Monday night. The Ducks have lost five of their last six while scoring just 2.33 goals per game, but Campbell is 1-2-1 with a 3.46 GAA and .878 SV% on the road, so something as to give in this matchup.
