The Oilers acquire goalie Anthony Stolarz in exchange for\u00a0 goaltender Cam Talbot.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Players<\/h2>\n<h3>Cam Talbot<\/h3>\n<p>In Talbot, the Flyers get a veteran goaltender <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/flyers\/news\/flyers-acquire-goaltender-cam-talbot-from-edmonton--philadelphia-flyers\/c-304881674\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">that can help provide depth<\/a> and some insurance in case of an injury to <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/h\/hartca01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Carter Hart<\/a>.<\/strong> This season, he has a goals against average of 3.36\u00a0 and a save percentage of .893. His record is 10-15-3.<\/p>\n<p>Over his six-year NHL career, Talbot has played just for the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/rangers\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New York Rangers<\/a> and the Oilers. In that time, he has a goals against average of 2.59 and a save percentage of .915. His career record is 137-110-24. He was an undrafted free agent out of Alabama-Huntsville.<\/p>\n<h2>Anthony Stolarz<\/h2>\n<p>In Stolarz, the Oilers get a goalie that can cover a lot of ground with his big frame. He&#8217;s also very confident in the crease. This season, he has a goals against average of 3.33 and a save percentage of .902. His record is 4-3-3.<\/p>\n<p>Over his two-year NHL career, Stolarz has played just for the Flyers. In that time, he has a goals against average of 2.86 and a save percentage of .911. His career record is 6-4-4. He was drafted in the second round, 45th overall of the 2012 NHL draft.<\/p>\n<h2>What This Means for the Future<\/h2>\n<p>Talbot&#8217;s numbers have steadily declined in his time with the Oilers. His best season was the 2016-2017 season in which he had a save percentage of .919. He led the Oilers to the second round of the playoffs with a playoff save percentage of .924. He wasn&#8217;t able to sustain those numbers the following season and with the current pressure to win in Edmonton, he quickly found himself on the hot seat.<\/p>\n<p>Talbot&#8217;s contract expires after this season, making him an unrestricted free agent. This is a good decision for the Oilers who now receive an asset in exchange for a player they were unlikely to try and re-sign in the offseason.<\/p>\n<p>Talbot will hope to regain his form from two years ago to provide steady back up goaltending for the Flyers.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/11\/cam-talbot-on-injured-reserve-lwoh.jpg\" alt=\"\">Former Edmonton Oilers goalie Cam Talbot.
