Kelvin Kuo-USA TODAY Sports / USA TODAY Sports

Though it was overshadowed by the Anaheim Ducks' miraculous comeback, Cam Talbot turned in a record-setting performance Friday night.

The Edmonton Oilers netminder stopped 60 shots in the team's 4-3 double-overtime loss in Game 5, setting a new Oilers record for saves in a playoff game.

Dwayne Roloson held the record previously after he made 54 stops against the Detroit Red Wings in 2006.

With his 60-save effort and 64 shots against Friday night, Talbot has now faced a playoff-high 372 shots in 11 games, while making a playoff-best 342 saves.
