Well, this is convenient. The week after the Minnesota Wild traded for legendary netminder Marc-Andre Fleury from the Chicago Blackhawks, the other half of their tandem is named the First Star of the Week.
Announced by the NHL on Monday, Cam Talbot has earned the title for earning three wins, holding a 1.33 goals against average and a .959 save percentage.
And those three wins came against some stiff competition as well. Most recently, he kept Minnesota in the game against the Colorado Avalanche enough for them to post an incredible comeback win in overtime on Sunday.
