Cam Talbot allowed five goals on 27 shots in Saturday’s 5-3 loss to Detroit. He was replaced at the start of the third period by David Rittich. Talbot has gone 0-4-3 during the Kings’ eight-game winless slump. He has allowed 15 goals in his last four games. There was no way that he could maintain his excellent play from the start of the season, but the fact remains this guy is an All-Star and he plays a style that fits the Kings’ system. They will figure this tailspin out as a team, and Talbot should get back on track eventually.
Antti Raanta made 38 saves in a 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins on Saturday. Raanta almost squeaked out a regulation win, but Bryan Rust drilled in a sharp-angle rebound in the last minute with the Pens playing 6-on-5. Raanta has been pressed back into starter’s duties with Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion) out. Like you, we’re holding our breath a little given his queasy play earlier this season. A couple more good starts, and we might start to believe, but not before that.
