Talbot, 31, is scoreless in two games played for Boston this season, with his most recent appearance coming Oct. 12 against the Tampa Bay Lightning. He has been a healthy scratch for several of the Bruins’ first seven games.
Talbot was acquired by the Bruins at last season’s trade deadline in a deal that sent former first-round draft pick Jordan Caron to the Colorado Avalanche.
Talbot is in the final year of his contract. He previously played for the Avalanche, Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins. His two goals in Game 7 of the 2009 Stanley Cup Final propelled the Penguins to a championship over the Detroit Red Wings.
