After he and his wife welcomed twins Wednesday, Talbot is now the NHL’s First Star of the Week. Through this past week, Talbot has only allowed three goals on 99 shots and earned a shutout in the Oilers’ 3-0 Heritage Classic win over Winnipeg.
With Talbot on a hot streak, the Oilers can finally trust someone between the pipes. Not to mention, they have a better shot at winning hockey games and don’t need to worry as much about shots getting through.
Despite Talbot’s shaky start to the season, he seems to be back on track and proving himself with Edmonton.
