Talbot starts Monday vs. the Hurricanes.

Talbot allowed three goals on 34 shots in the Oilers win over the Coyotes on Saturday. The win snapped a four-game losing skid for the Oilers and was a nice way for Talbot to kickoff the 2016 section of the season. Tonight he will face a Carolina team that has won three of their last five—Talbot is 4-5-0 with a 2.80 GA and .911 SV%.

Gibson will start Sunday vs. the Jets.

Gibson stopped all 21 shots that he faced in the Ducks shutout win over the Oilers on Thursday. Gibson has posted back-to-back shutouts, stopping all 35 shots that he’s faced and has won three consecutive. Frederik Andersen got the call on Friday, but they’ll go back to Gibson vs. the Jets—Winnipeg has won three of their last four.

Talbot leads the Oilers onto the ice for warmups.

Talbot stopped 34 of 35 shots in the Oilers 1-0 loss to the Ducks on Thursday. It was a tough loss for Talbot, who played extremely well, and should get the nod today vs. the Coyotes. He has gone 2-3-1 with a 2.41 GAA and .934 SV% in December, clearly his best month as an Oiler. Today he starts on home ice where he has gone 3-5-0 with a 2.81 GAA and .911 SV% this season.

Gibson will start Thursday in Edmonton

Gibson stopped all 14 shots that he faced in the Ducks shutout win over the Flames on Tuesday. It was Gibson’s second straight win and sixth since being called up. Gibson has posted a strong 1.81 GAA and .926 SV% this season, but he still needs more help from his offence if he is going to continue to win hockey games.

Talbot will start Thursday vs. the Ducks.

Talbot was yanked after allowing three goals on 14 shots in the Oilers loss vs. the Kings on Tuesday. Talbot has gone 2-2-1 with a 2.68 GAA and .926 SV% in December. He has struggled recently, but has a good matchup against the NHL’s lowest scoring teams. Talbot comes in at 3-4-0 with a 3.06 GAA and .901 SV% on home ice this season.

Gibson will start Tuesday in Calgary.

Gibson allowed two goals on 26 shots in the Ducks win over the Flyers on Sunday. Gibson snapped a three-game losing streak for Gibson, who is 3-3-1 with a 2.06 GAA and .914 SV% in December. Tonight Gibson will see the Flames for the second time—he stopped 19 of 20 shots after replacing Anton Khudobin in a 5-3 win back in late November.

Talbot will start vs. the Kings on Tuesday.

Talbot allowed one goal on seven shots after replacing Anders Nilsson in the Oilers loss in Calgary on Sunday. Talbot has gone 2-1-1 with a 2.27 GAA and .938 SV% in December. Tonight he will make his third start against Kings—in the first two starts, Talbot went 0-2-0 with a 3.56 GAA and .887 SV%.

Cam Talbot
Larkin (undisclosed) is probable for Monday's game.

Larkin missed Saturday’s game with an undisclosed injury, but he skated on the Red Wings’ top line and top power play in the morning skate and is expected to be in the lineup tonight. Larkin has goals in each of his last two games and continues to lead the NHL in plus-minus (+21).

Gibson leads the Ducks onto the ice for warmups.

Gibson allowed three goals on 22 shots in the Ducks OT loss in New York on Tuesday. Despite posting an impressive 1.97 GAA since being recalled, Gibson has just four wins in nine starts. The Ducks lack of offence is dragging Gibson down and until they find a spark, he remains as a No. 2 fantasy option.

John Gibson
Gibson will start in goal on Tuesday.

Gibson allowed one goal on 19 shots after replacing Frederik Andersen in Monday’s loss in Brooklyn. The Ducks will wrap up their pre-Christmas schedule with a back-to-back tonight in New York. Gibson is 4-4-1 on the year but 0-2-0 with a 2.68 GAA and .905 SV% on the road this season. He is a great young goalie, but the lack of Ducks’ scoring will limit the amount of wins he collects.
