Red Wings confirm starting goaltender vs. Lightning

The Detroit Red Wings are right back in action tonight against the divisional foe Lightning, and they've named their starting goaltender for the key matchup.

Things didn't go according to plan for the Detroit Red Wings last week against the divisional foe Tampa Bay Lightning, who beat them 5-1 at Amalie Arena.

Tonight, the Red Wings have the chance to hit back at the Lightning when they host them at Little Caesars Arena (7:00 PM, FanDuel Sports Detroit, 97.1 The Ticket).

Head coach Todd McLellan has named Cam Talbot, who made 27 saves in Thursday's win over the Montreal Canadiens, the starting goaltender for tonight's game.

Talbot performed well on Thursday against the Canadiens, making handfuls of key stops including several on Montreal power play specialist Patrik Laine.
