Detroit Red Wings
The Daily: Talbot Made Big Save You’ve Been Awaiting; GR Rallys For Win
Social media has been the home for many discussions this season about the Detroit Red Wings’ need for their goalies to make the big save at the right time. There was no clearer evidence of that than Cam Talbot’s breakaway stop against Sean Monahan Saturday in Detroit’s 4-3 come-from-behind OT win versus Columbus.
Right after Talbot thwarted Monahan, Moritz Seider scored to tie the game 3-3. The Red Wings had trailed 3-1 not long before.
A lofty save percentage is great, but those key-moment saves lead to memorable seasons. Talbot knew what was at stake as soon as he saw Monahan coming at him. He had a plan.
“It would be nice if every once in a while a Red Wings goaltender would make a save they’re not supposed to make”
Cam Talbot does that on a shorthanded breakaway, Red Wings tie it shortly after, win in OT.
It makes a difference.

“Stay as patient as possible, give us a chance to win,” Talbot said. “Just get as much of my body in front of it and get a piece and with six, seven minutes left, that’s a save that you need to make. If we go down 4-2 there, game’s probably over.”
Seider skated back and gave Talbot a stick tap after scoring, saying “There, tied the game.” Talbot (9-2, 2.66 GAA) made 30 saves in the contest, none bigger than that one.
“He just said, ‘Huge save ” And it was indeed.

Talbot is saving the wings season with his great play in net!
Winnipeg needs a goalie bad due to injuries , move Gibson now. Let’s see what Cossa can do as a tandem with Talbot. It’s about time Cossa shows what he has in the show.
I see Wallstedt got another shutout today against The Jets. What a mistake.
Wings goalies and prospects through 11-23-25:
• Cam Talbot: 12 games • 2.66 GAA • .899 Sv%
• John Gibson: 12 games • 3.46 GAA • .870 Sv%
• Sebastian Cossa: 6 games • 1.67 GAA • .940 Sv%
• Michael Postava: 5 games • 2.15 GAA • .936 Sv%
• Carter Gylander: 4 games • 2.02 GAA • .929 Sv%
• Trey Augustine: 12 games • 1.72 GAA • .935 Sv%
Talbot’s contract is up at the end of the season along with Cossa’s and Gylander’s (who will both be RFAs). And if Yzerman doesn’t clear a path for Augustine and he returns to MSU next fall, he’ll be a free agent in the summer of 2027.
It’s time to use some of these assets to make a move before it’s too late. If Cossa plus (who/what?) could get the Wings either Jason Robinson or Alex Tuch, I’d take a gamble that Augustine and Postava/Gylander could be the future Wings goalies.
And I’d unload Gibson for a bag of pucks if he would bring that much.
Nice snapshot OTC. And, Rudy is 12-3-1 at Moncton. 2.41 and .919 with 2 shutouts in 16 starts of 21 games.
Good point. I forgot about Guimond. Looks like his 16-game extravaganza last year wasn’t a fluke. All the more reason to clear out a couple of these goalies to show Augustine he’ll have a place in the system after this season.
Wow. Got a negative for providing some stats. PDH in the house!! What a knob. Don’t know why you even follow the Wings. Seems to really aggravate you. Please move on.
Per Elite Prospects, just to note: even Jan Bednar continues his winning ways in Finland at 11-4-3, 1.85 and .931.
Sure easy to beat on Draper, et al when draft picks aren’t an exact science at all. Easy to be critical. Holland picked Jhonas Enroth, Chase Perry and Daniel Larsson… cricket chirps anyone?
Yzerman’s stocking up on young goaltending is proving to be a smart move. Now’s the time to show it off.
