DETROIT -- Cam Talbot sustained a lower-body injury for the Detroit Red Wings in the second period of their 5-4 overtime loss to the Vancouver Canucks at Little Caesars Arena on Sunday and did not return.
The 37-year-old goalie left at 6:38 after Red Wings forward Alex DeBrincat tied the game 2-2. Talbot stopped 12 of 14 shots before he was replaced by Ville Husso, who made 15 saves.
Talbot is 6-5-2 with a 2.73 goals-against average and .917 save percentage in 15 games (14 starts).
Detroit is already without goalie Alex Lyon because of a lower-body injury. Coach Derek Lalonde said Saturday that Lyon would not travel for a two-game road trip that begins at the Boston Bruins on Tuesday and is uncertain of who the second goalie will be.
“No report yet, but it was obviously lower body and he had to pull himself from the game, so we'll get a better feel probably later tonight into tomorrow,” Lalonde said of Talbot.
Lyon is 4-4-0 with a 2.74 GAA and .911 save percentage in nine games (eight starts) this season. He last played Nov. 25, a 4-2 win at the New York Islanders.
Husso was recalled from Grand Rapids of the American Hockey League on Friday. He is 0-2-1 with a 4.90 GAA and .818 save percentage in three games with the Red Wings; he is 4-0-0 with a 1.58 GAA and .944 save percentage in five AHL games.
