My hockey knowledge is pretty good, but haven't heard of this guy, which means he will dominate us tonight.

He's definitely better than their other goalie right now, Carter Hutton

Now Hutton I knew, thought we would be facing him tonight, guess not. Well another game for the Goalbuster, Cam Talbot.

2-0 win, i'll take it! Back to back shutouts for Talbot!

Goals from Mac and Stepan, 2 assists from Zucc and one from G!

Talbot made 17 saves, Kreider and Nash both played well, again.
