Talbot is expected to start Tuesday in Dallas.

The Kings snapped a season-worst eight-game losing streak yesterday courtesy of a strong performance from David Rittich in a 5-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes and will return to starting goalie Cam Talbot on the back end of a back-to-back. Talbot has allowed three or more goals in five of his last seven games (0-4-3), posting a pedestrian .899 SV%. The Kings are +117 road underdogs on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars, who have won three of their last four contests (3-1-0).

Talbot will start for the third straight game as the Kings attempt to snap a season-worst six-game losing streak (0-4-2). After posting an otherworldly .931 SV% in his first 18 games (12-4-2), Talbot has fallen off in a big way, with a more pedestrian .903 SV% in his last nine outings (2-5-2). The Kings will be hard-pressed to snap their losing skid on Thursday as they are +121 road underdogs against one of the league's hottest teams, the Florida Panthers, who will be searching for their eighth-straight victory.

Talbot will start in Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

Talbot will return to the crease on Tuesday as the Kings attempt to snap a season-worst five-game losing skid (0-3-2). After a surprising start to the season, Talbot was among the league's top goaltenders, boasting a gaudy .933 SV% through 17 games (12-4-1), but has since fallen back to earth, losing seven of his last nine (2-5-2), posting a pedestrian .903 SV%. That said, the Kings are still -124 road favourites against a Tampa Bay Lightning team that has lost four of their last six (2-4-0).

Talbot will start in Vegas on Friday.

Talbot will take the crease for the second half of the Kings' back-to-back as they head to Vegas on Thursday.

He will take on the ice cold Vegas Golden Knights, who have lost four straight games but are still 11th in the NHL in goals per game (3.33).

He will host the Seattle Kraken Wednesday, who have lost two straight games and are struggling to score being 28th in the NHL in goals per game (2.7).
