What It Means:

Talbot will look to rebound on Friday after dropping four of his last five starts. He's 8-4-1 on the year while posting a 2.49 goals-against average and .921 save percentage with two shutouts. The Stars are finding the back of the net 2.64 times a game, which is tied for 16th in the NHL.

Our models project Talbot to make 27.58 saves on 30.07 shot attempts tonight against Dallas while giving him a 52.0 percent chance of winning. Talbot is numberFire's second-best goalie option for FanDuel purposes Friday night.
