What It Means:

Talbot is in the midst of a four-game winning streak, where he has stopped 125-of-134 shots faced for a .933 save percentage and a 2.25 goals-against average. He will have his work cut out for him on Friday, though, as the Capitals own the best record in the NHL and the second-best offense with 3.36 goals per game.

Our models project Talbot for 15.8 fantasy points with 2.7 goals allowed, 27.1 saves and a 38.0 percent chance of bringing home the win. He is numberFire's sixth-ranked option out of the eight starting netminders in action.
