Despite losing his last three starts, Cam Talbot knows that NHL hockey is a game of bounces, and they’re due to start going his way soon. That’s not to say that the Minnesota Wild’s starting netminder doesn’t take responsibility for his team’s recent struggles... on the contrary. Talbot knows that with a couple more saves, the Wild might be in a slightly better place on the scoreboard and in the standings.
“You can say we’ve been a little bit loose in our zone of late, but we usually find ways to outscore those mistakes, and the past couple of games we haven’t been able to do that,” Talbot told reporters on Wednesday.
