Cam Talbot News

Talbot will be back between the pipes for the Kings for the second straight game on Thursday as he tries to wrestle back control of the starting job from David Rittich. Talbot took the loss in Calgary on Tuesday, allowing three goals on 36 shots in the 4-2 defeat. Despite the result, it was another promising start for Talbot, who's snapped out of his prolonged cold streak with a .949 SV% over his last three contests. He draws a difficult matchup on Thursday with the Kings being +125 underdogs in Vancouver.

With Los Angeles on the second half of a Western Canada back-to-back, Cam Talbot will take the crease on Tuesday in Calgary after backing up with the night off Monday. The 36-year-old was one of the NHL's best goaltenders in the first half of the season but has had a nightmarish run since the turn of the new year which has affected his overall numbers. He still owns an impressive 16-13-5 record, 2.53 GAA and .913 SV% on the season regardless. He takes on the surprisingly surging Calgary Flames, who have won three straight games and are improving offensively as they rank 16th in the NHL in goals per game (3.12).

Talbot will return to the crease on Tuesday, starting consecutive games for only the second time in over a month. The veteran netminder was tremendous on Sunday, saving 29 of 30 shots (.967 SV%) in a 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins, his first win since December 23rd, ending an abysmal 11-game stretch (0-7-3) where he posted a .877 SV%. The Kings are -245 home favourites against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday.

Talbot will likely start his second straight game after serving as the backup in the previous three. Talbot has failed to win a game since December, losing nine straight (0-6-3), posting an ugly .887 SV%. The Kings' only two wins in the last month have been with David Rittich between the pipes. As such, Talbot and the Kings are +123 road underdogs against a Colorado Avalanche squad riding a two-game winning streak.

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%.

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.

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).

The Kings are -127 home favourites against a Maple Leafs team that has lost five of their last six games (1-4-1)
