Cam Talbot News

With the Red Wings officially eliminated from playoff contention, Talbot will get the nod on Monday as the Red Wings opt to give John Gibson the night off. Talbot will be hoping to bounce-back from a disappointing performance in his last start, when he allowed five goals on just 20 shots in a 5-4 loss to the Wild back on April 5th. The 38-year-old netminder has appeared in 32 games this season, logging a 12-9-5 record and an .888 SV%. The Red Wings enter action on Monday at +160 on the money line.

The Red Wings have a back-to-back coming up, and Head Coach Todd McLellan suggested that if Talbot is not ready to suit up, they may need Michal Postava, recently recalled from Grand Rapids (AHL), to serve as John Gibson's backup. Even so, Talbot has been used sparingly lately as the Red Wings try to stay in playoff contention, starting only one game so far this month.

Even so, Talbot has been used sparingly lately as the Red Wings try to stay in playoff contention, starting only one game so far this month.

With John Gibson (upper body) unavailable, Talbot will tend the twine on Wednesday against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 38-year-old Talbot was excellent in relief of Gibson in Monday's 4-2 win over the Nashville Predators, saving 18 of 19 shots (.947 SV%) in two periods of play. That said, he had a poor showing in his most recent start, allowing five goals on 36 shots (.861 SV%) in a 5-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes, and has lost four straight starts (0-3-1). The Red Wings enter Wednesday's contest as -124 home favourites against a Golden Knights team on a three-game losing streak (0-3-0).

John Gibson was between the pipes for Wednesday's win over the Maple Leafs, so it will be Talbot's turn when the Red Wings play their second game in as many nights on Thursday. Talbot was unfortunate to be tagged with the loss in his last start, losing 3-0 in Boston back on January 13th despite allowing just two goals on 40 shots. The 38-year-old netminder has largely taken a back seat to Gibson of late thanks to the latter's incredible form, but Talbot does still own a respectable 11-7-3 record on the season. Talbot and the Wings enter action on Thursday at +135 on the money line.

Talbot will get the nod for the tail-end of Detroit's back-to-back after serving as John Gibson's backup on Monday. Talbot was tagged with the loss in his last start, allowing four goals on 31 shots in a 4-3 overtime loss in Pittsburgh on New Year's Day. The 38-year-old brings an 11-6-3 record and .888 SV% into Tuesday night's matchup, where the Red Wings enter action at +110 on the money line.

The Red Wings will hand Talbot his 21st start of the season when they travel to Pittsburgh on Thursday. Talbot excelled in his latest start, allowing just two goals on 27 shots in a 3-2 overtime win over the Maple Leafs on Sunday. The 13-year-veteran owns an impressive 11-6-2 record on the season despite an underwhelming .889 SV%. The Red Wings enter action on Thursday at +110 on the money line.

Over the past month, John Gibson has earned himself more starts in the Red Wings’ crease, but the team will turn to Talbot on the tail end of a back-to-back on Sunday. The 38-year-old Talbot has a concerning 3.00 GAA and .887 SV% in 19 appearances (10-6-2), but was solid in his most recent outing, saving 31 of 33 shots (.939 SV%) in a 3-2 overtime win over the Washington Capitals.

The Red Wings have played well lately, with points in eight of their last nine (6-1-2), largely due to the improved play of John Gibson between the pipes. That said, they will turn to Talbot on Wednesday against the Utah Mammoth. The 38-year-old Talbot has a 3.01 GAA and .885 SV% in 17 games (9-5-2) and has lost five straight decisions (0-3-2). The Red Wings enter Wednesday’s contest as -118 home favorites against a Mammoth team that has lost four of their last six (2-4-0).

The Red Wings will unsurprisingly turn to Talbot on Thursday after John Gibson got the nod in Calgary on Wednesday. Talbot lost his fourth consecutive start in his last outing, allowing five goals on 32 shots in a 6-5 shootout loss in Columbus on December 4th. The 38-year-old netminder brings a 9-4-2 record and .884 SV% into Thursday night's matchup with the Oilers, where the Red Wings enter action at +150 on the money line.

The Red Wings' goalie rotation will continue on Thursday as Talbot gets the nod in Columbus. Talbot is in the midst of a personal three-game losing streak, including a 3-2 shootout loss in Boston on Saturday when he allowed two goals on 20 shots. The 13-year-veteran's record sits at 9-4-1 on the season to go along with an .888 SV% and 2.88 GAA. Talbot and the Red Wings enter action on Thursday at +105 on the money line.

Talbot allowed five goals on 28 shots in the Red Wings loss to the Predators on Wednesday. After a four-game winning streak, Talbot has lost two in a row while allowing nine goals on 48 shots (.813 SV%). On Saturday, he'll face a Bruins team who will be without David Pastrnak, so Detroit are -140 road favourites.

Talbot had a poor performance in Detroit's most recent game, allowing four goals on 20 shots (.800 SV%) in a 4-3 loss to the New Jersey Devils, but he will return to the crease on Wednesday, looking to redeem himself against the Nashville Predators. The 38-year-old Talbot has had an up-and-down 2025-26 season, posting a 2.79 GAA and .893 SV% in 13 appearances (9-3-0). The Red Wings enter Wednesday's contest as -150 home favourites against a Predators team that ranks dead last in the league offensively (2.36 GF/GP)

The Red Wings will turn to Talbot between the pipes for the 11th time this season when they travel to New Jersey on Monday. Talbot picked up his fourth victory in as many starts in his last outing, stopping 31 of the 34 shots he faced in a 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets on Saturday. The 13-year-veteran brings an impressive 9-2-0 record on the season into Monday night's matchup with the Devils, where the Red Wings enter action at +120 on the money line.
