Talbot allowed three goals on 40 shots in the Rangers 4-3 win over the Coyotes on Thursday. It was another really good outing for Talbot, who has now won three in a row and seven of his last eight while posting a 2.82 GAA and .912 SV% over that span. Tonight he faces the Flyers, who he has posted 31-save and 26-save shutouts against this season.
Talbot stopped all 21 shots that he faced in the Rangers 1-0 shutout win over the Flames on Tuesday. It was Talbot’s 11th win and fourth shutout of the season. He comes in having won five of his last six games with a 2.59 GAA and .914 SV%. Talbot makes for an excellent start against the Coyotes.
This is even longer than the original reports, but with the playoffs starting in seven weeks, Kane’s season appears to be over. This is a terrible break for a player who was trying to become the first American born player to win the scoring title. This will put a lot of weight Kris Versteeg and Patrick Sharp to put the puck in the net.
Kane suffered a “significant” upper-body injury in Tuesday’s game against the Panthers. There has been no official word on exactly how long he will be sidelined, but his movement to LTIR means that he will miss a minimum of 10 games or 24 days. He is expected to be sidelined for longer than that, but we will wait for the official timeline from the team.
Kane crashed shoulder first into the boards after being pushed from behind by Panthers defenseman Alex Petrovic. Kane immediately left the ice and did not return. There is speculation that Kane could miss more than a month with a clavicle injury, but the Blackhawks have not released an official injury update. Kane was tied for the league lead in points and is irreplaceable. However, a if he misses significant time, Patrick Sharp will be leaned on more heavily to produce offensively.
Talbot allowed three goals on 27 shots in the Rangers win over the Blue Jackets on Saturday. He has won five of his last six starts while posting a 3.24 GAA and .899 SV%. He will face the Flames at Madison Square Garden, where he is 4-0-3 with a 1.87 GAA and .929 SV%.

Petry was in the morning skate, but will be held out of tonight’s game vs. Wild. Petry is in contract talks with the Oilers, but has also been the subject of trade talks, so the Oilers won’t want risk Petry injuring himself further.
Petry left Wednesday’s game with an upper-body injury but is on the ice this morning, which suggests that he will be available tonight vs. the Wild. He is one player the Oilers are expected to trade before the deadline though, so they won’t rush him and risk him getting injured further.
Talbot gave up five goals on 43 shots in the Rangers 6-5 win over the Islanders on Monday. Since Henrik Lundqvist went down, Talbot has gone 5-1-1 but he can thank an offence who has averaged 4.14 goals over that span. His 3.01 GAA and .900 SV% are not pretty numbers, but with the offence support he is getting, he is a good candidate to get his 10th win of the season tonight vs. Vancouver.
Mrazek, 23, filled in admirably while Jonas Gustavsson was out and then played even better when he became the team’s starter when Jimmy Howard went down. Overall he was 13-5-1 with a 2.55 GAA and .909 SV% in 20 games with the Red Wings. He will be back if another injury happens in the crease and he will definitely have a permanent spot on the team in 2015-16.
