Cam Talbot's record-breaking win on Thursday night didn't go unnoticed.
The Edmonton Oilers netminder recorded his 41st win of the season, setting a new franchise record. The 29-year-old surpassed Grant Fuhr's previous mark of 40, and on Friday the Hall of Famer offered his congrats and best wishes for Talbot heading into the postseason.
A huge congratulations to @ctalbot33 on your 41 win you truly deserved it and I look forward to seeing you have a great playoff.

Talbot still has a long way to go if he is to surpass the franchise record for all-time wins, though. Fuhr leads all Oilers goalies with 226 wins in 423 games - 164 more than Talbot.
