Oilers' Cam Talbot: Shuts down Sharks to clinch series

Talbot stopped 27 of 28 shots in Saturday's series-clinching Game 6 win over the Sharks.

Analysis:

Talbot was great all series and it was no different Saturday. Aside from a blowout loss in Game 4, Talbot frustrated the Sharks with his poise and strong positional goaltending to help the Oilers advance to Round 2. He's built off a remarkable regular season and been a force for an Edmonton squad known for its long history of goaltending problems. While he was snubbed for a Vezina Trophy nomination, Talbot is playing fantastic right now and will give the Ducks all kinds of problems in the next round.
