With teams looking for goaltending help in the NHL and Mikko Koskinen seemingly winning the starting role in Edmonton Adidas Max Pacioretty Jersey , is Cam Talbot getting traded?Right or wrong, there is talk in Edmonton these days about trading Talbot out of Edmonton.聽The story behind the goaltending situation for the Oilers has changed dramatically considering just months ago,聽many fans were upset the Edmonton Oilers had signed backup goaltender Koskinen to a one-year, $2.5 million deal. Since the start of the season, Koskinen has played in 10 games, has a 6-2-1 record and a .923 SV%. and is getting the start again on Thursday while appearing to be starting goaltender moving forward.advertising via SportsnetMeanwhile, Talbot has played effectively at times and ineffectively at others but appears to be losing the job and whispers are out there he might be on the trade block.Many see the idea of trading Talbot as a mistake considering Koskinen is not a proven NHL netminder, but the Oilers badly need help at forward and to improve their average defense. Talbot 鈥?if another NHL team like St. Louis, Philadelphia Adidas Seth Griffith Jersey , Florida or Calgary were desperate enough聽鈥?might offer something the Oilers could use this season to help their playoff aspirations.Should the Oilers move Talbot and Koskinen falters, it could mean trouble for the Oilers who don't have a prospect in the system who could take the backup role. There are goaltenders available on the waiver wire but the return for Talbot would have to be strong to consider this from an Oilers perspective.advertisingWhat This MeansIn Edmonton, the conversation about goaltending changed quickly. In a matter of weeks, Koskinen became the go-to guy while Talbot is losing supporters. But, people making the argument Talbot should be traded might want to be careful what they wish for. There is a lot that can go wrong if the Oilers move their former No. 1 netminder and Koskinen can't handle the appointed starting job. ST. LOUIS (AP) — Blues coach Mike Yeo expects fingers to be pointed after St. Louis’ latest crushing defeat.He was even ready to go first.“Heck, my job should be in question,” the second-year Blues boss said following a 7-4 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets. St. Louis blew a two-goal lead for the second straight game, then kept its locker room closed for 23 minutes for a private meeting.Players and coaches declined to reveal what was discussed, but the disappointment was clear from a club off to a disappointing 2-4-3 start.“It’s human nature Adidas Jack Roslovic Jersey , there’s going to be finger pointing,” Yeo said. “There’s going to be all kinds of questions. It’s going to be hard for us on the inside to not do that, but I think if we all look internally and figure out what we can do better and what we can do differently and how we can add to the group more, then we all pull in together and we’ll pull in stronger together.”Alexander Steen said it’s a matter of work ethic.“We’re not working hard,” Steen said. “Other teams are outworking us and taking chances.”Columbus coach John Tortorella wasn’t pleased with his team’s response after falling behind in their previous game, but the Blue Jackets made up for it. Boone Jenner and Anthony Duclair each scored twice, Josh Anderson had a goal and an assist and David Savard and Seth Jones also scored. Joonas Korpisalo made 33 saves as Columbus snapped a two-game skid.“I thought we played harder,” Tortorella said. “I thought we were hard around the pucks. It was much more consistent of that style of game.”Artemi Panarin had three assists and Scott Harrington, Zach Werenski and Ryan Murray each had two helpers for the Blue Jackets.“I think all of the opportunities that we missed the past couple of games started going in for us and we were very opportunistic tonight Adidas Laurent Brossoit Jersey ,” Duclair said. “We had a rough start but at the same time the two quick goals to start the second really gave us momentum all of the way through.”Vladimir Tarasenko, Jaden Schwartz, Steen and Zach Sanford scored for the Blues. Jake Allen gave up four goals on 21 shots before being lifted for Chad Johnson in the second period. St. Louis gave up a season high in goals.The Blue Jackets took the lead with two goals in a 76-second span early in the second period. Duclair tied it at 2:01, pouncing on a loose puck in front of the net and tucking in past Allen’s pad. Jenner’s second of the game gave the Blue Jackets a 3-2 lead at 3:29.“Obviously the start of the second period propelled us there,” Jenner said. “A couple of quick goals happened there for us and we got the lead. That’s what happens when you put the work in.”Savard’s goal from above the right circle made it 4-2 at 8:58 and chased Allen. Steen’s goal with 8:30 left got the Blues within a goal, but Anderson and Duclair countered early in the third put the game away.“We know they were a hungry team coming into tonight and we were too,” Jenner said. “We wanted a response. They’re a good team over there.”NOTES: The Blues assigned forward Robby Fabbri (groin strain) to its AHL affiliate in San Antonio for a conditioning assignment. … Nick Foligno picked up his 147th career assist to move into second in Blue Jackets history. … The Blues scratched C Robert Thomas and D Jakub Jerabek. … The Blue Jackets scratched D Adam Clendening, D Dean Kukan and LW Sonny Milano.UP NEXTColumbus: hosts Buffalo on Saturday night.St. Louis: hosts Chicago on Saturday night.
