Kings’ Talbot may see Edmonton as ‘a special place,’ but he won’t get any love from fans
Cam Talbot was destined to tend goal in this Round 1 series. Yet, fate has him at the wrong end of the rink, the third Los Angeles Kings goalie in as many springs with a mandate to shut down Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and the Edmonton Oilers.
Hours after the news broke that the Vancouver Canucks will be without starting goaltender Thatcher Demko for Game 2 and possibly longer, the Canucks are down one more man.
Defenceman Tyler Myers did not participate in the pre-game warmup skate and was listed as a scratch prior to puck drop against the Nashville Predators, per the NHL’s roster report.
Noah Juulsen replaced him on the second pairing, alongside Carson Soucy.
Myers, 34, logged 19:08 in Game 1 and was a plus-one on the evening.
The six-foot-four defenceman has, like most of the Canucks, enjoyed a bounce-back season on both ends of the ice, improving to plus-16 on the year while potting 29 points — both measures significantly higher than the minus-16, 17-point season in 2022-23.
The shorthanded Canucks look to take a 2-0 series lead over the Predators at Rogers Arena. Watch all the action on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+ with coverage starting at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT.
