What It Means:

Talbot has been a pleasant surprise in his first 10 starts this season, posting a 2.14 goals against average and .932 save percentage with 7 wins. Tonight won't be easy, however, as his former employers currently pace the NHL in scoring with 4.00 goals a game.

Talbot is expected to allow 2.81 goals on 30.18 shot attempts tonight, based on numberFire's models, while we give him a 37.0 percent chance of earning the win.
