  • 11-7-4 6th Place
    • Prevails in Game 2
      Talbot stopped 27 of 31 shots in a 5-4 overtime win over the Oilers in Wednesday's Game 2.

      Advice: Talbot had another rough game, but the Kings were able to play a little bit better and snag the win with Anze Kopitar's tally 2:07 into the extra session. With 10 goals allowed over two playoff contests, Talbot has had his hands full with a dangerous offense so far. The series is tied at 1-1 heading to Los Angeles, where Talbot went 13-10-3 with a 2.56 GAA and a .910 save percentage this season, slightly worse than his numbers on the road. Game 3 is Friday.

    • Set to start Wednesday
      Talbot is expected to start on the road against Edmonton in Game 2 on Wednesday, per Tom Gazzola of Edmonton Sports Talk.

      Advice: Talbot will seek revenge after allowing six goals on 44 shots en route to a 7-4 loss to the Oilers in Game 1 on Monday. He had a 27-20-6 record, 2.50 GAA and .913 save percentage in 54 regular-season appearances. Edmonton, which ranked fourth offensively with 3.56 goals per contest during the regular season, will continue to be a challenging opponent for the veteran goaltender.

    • Helps out on empty-netter
      Rantanen posted an assist, two shots on goal, five hits and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Jets in Game 2.

      Advice: Rantanen has three helpers and nine hits over the first two contests of the playoffs. The 27-year-old winger continues to thrive in a top-six role, and he should get his looks throughout the postseason. Rantanen had 10 points in Colorado's seven-game playoff run last spring, so he's no stranger to contributing at this time of year. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:28 pm
       
    • Struggles in Game 1 loss
      Talbot allowed six goals on 44 shots in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Oilers in Game 1. The seventh goal was an empty-netter.

      Advice: Talbot has allowed three or more goals in five of his last six games, making him lucky to escape with three wins in that span. The 36-year-old could be in for a tough series if the Kings' defense can't figure out how to contain the Oilers' many talented forwards. Talbot has earned the chance to be the postseason starter, but David Rittich could get a look if Talbot struggles in Wednesday's Game 2. Rotowire.com Monday, 11:32 pm
       
    • Starting Game 1 in Edmonton
      Talbot will guard the road goal Monday in Game 1 versus the Oilers, according to Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period.

      Advice: Talbot posted a 27-20-6 record with three shutouts, a 2.50 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 54 appearances during the regular season. He stopped 40 of 45 shots en route to a mark of 0-1-1 against Edmonton in 2023-24. The Oilers ranked fourth in the league during the regular season with 3.56 goals per contest.

    • Nets power-play goal in loss
      O'Reilly scored a power-play goal and went minus-3 in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Canucks in Game 1.

      Advice: O'Reilly's tally gave the Predators a 2-1 lead in the second period, but they couldn't hang onto it in the third. The 33-year-old center has two goals and five assists during his six-game point streak. O'Reilly won the Stanley Cup and Conn Smythe Trophy with the Blues in 2019 and should be able to provide leadership and offense from a first-line role, but the Predators face an uphill battle for making a deep playoff run.

    • Two helpers in win
      Barkov notched two assists during Sunday's 3-2 Game 1 win over Tampa Bay.

      Advice: Barkov assisted on Florida's first two goals of the game, including one on the power play in the third period for the go-ahead goal to break the 1-1 tie. He also added four hits and two shots on net in 21:46 of ice time. This was his second multi-point game in a row and his fourth consecutive game with at least one point. The Panthers play at home again for Game 2 on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:23 pm
       
    • Deals two helpers in loss
      Rantanen notched two assists and four hits in Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Jets in Game 1.

      Advice: Rantanen assisted on goals by Nathan MacKinnon and Casey Mittelstadt. The 27-year-old Rantanen was limited to four points over six appearances in April to close out the regular season, and he missed two games with a concussion. The winger had 104 points -- one shy of his career high -- in 80 outings overall and should continue to be a productive part of the Avalanche's offense in the playoffs.

    • Wins ugly Thursday
      Talbot stopped nine of 13 shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

      Advice: Talbot got the win, but it wasn't pretty. The Kings melted down early in the third period, only to salvage it with a Viktor Arvidsson equalizer with 1:21 left in regulation and Adrian Kempe's game-winner six seconds into overtime. The win set up the third consecutive year of a Kings-Oilers first-round matchup in the playoffs. Talbot ends the regular season 27-20-6 with a 2.50 GAA and a .913 save percentage. He'll likely be the starter in the playoffs as he'll try to help the Kings finally get past one of his former teams. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:39 pm
