Talbot will get the start Sunday against Washington, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.

Analysis:

After a seven-week absence due to a neck injury, Henrik Lundqvist returned to the net Saturday against the Bruins, allowingfour goals on 30 shots. Though Lundqvist is the Rangers' unquestioned No. 1 starter, the weekend back-to-back set will provide an opportunity for Talbot to make a start of his own. Talbot was sensational while Lundqvist was sidelined and owns a 20-8-4 record, 2.16 GAA, and .928 save percentage over 34 games. Talbot's volume of starts will decline considerably from here, but he should be a strong fantasy play nearly any occasion he's called upon.
