Cam Talbot earns shutout as Oilers blank Jets at Heritage Classic
WINNIPEG — Three was a good number for Cam Talbot on Sunday.
The Edmonton Oilers goaltender made his third appearance at an NHL outdoor game, but finally got to play in one and made the experience count.
Talbot stopped all 31 shots he faced as the Oilers blanked the Winnipeg Jets 3-0 in the Heritage Classic at Investors Group Field. Talbot’s 12th career shutout, and first this season, also boosted Edmonton’s win streak to three games.
“I was really excited for this one, obviously, to get a chance to play in my first game,” said Talbot, who was a backup when his former New York Rangers played in two Stadium Series games.
