Now, as his career path has come full circle to the Rabbits’ affiliate, Talbot lands himself in the Alumni Report for a solid month out west. 

Talbot has started six games and appeared in a seveth for the Kings throughout October. In those games, the former Rabbit has posted a 4-2 record with a 2.47 goals-against average and a .914 save-percentage. 

His most recent outing, last night against the Toronto Maple Leafs, saw the 36-year-old stop 29 of 30 shots in a 4-1 win.

ONTARIO REIGN

NIKITA PAVLYCHEV - Forward

One of the tallest players on the ice is back on the scoresheet for the Reign after making his season debut on Sunday against the Abbotsford Canucks. 

In a 5-3 win, Pavlychev forced a turnover in the offensive end that led to Jacob Doty scoring the eventual game-winning goal. 

In his career, Pavlychev has now appeared in 36 AHL games, 28 of which are with the Reign, has hit double-digit points with his 10^th on three goals and seven assists.
