The Ontario organization confirmed the news Monday afternoon, while claiming Magnus Hellberg on waivers. This had been made available by the Seattle Kraken. According to the TSN network, the veteran suffered a broken rib on Saturday.
With the Minnesota Wild last season, Talbot had a 32-12-4 record, a 2.77 goals-against average and a .911 save percentage. He made his way to the federal capital in an exchange sending Filip Gustavsson to St. Paul.
To start the campaign, the “Sens” may rely on Anton Forsberg to defend their cage on a regular basis.
-In addition, striker Radim Zohorna was also claimed on waivers. He will leave the Pittsburgh Penguins for the Calgary Flames.
