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 looks to help the Kings finally get past one of his former teams. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago

Karlsson logged a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks.

Advice: Karlsson slowed down a bit in early March, but he picked up the pace again with six goals and eight assists over the final 12 contests of the regular season. The 31-year-old center ended the campaign with 30 goals, 30 helpers, 175 shots on net and a plus-15 rating over 70 appearances, earning just the second 60-point campaign of his career. He'll likely begin the postseason on the third line, but the depth and versatility of the Golden Knights' offense is strong enough for him to be effective from that role. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago
