Ottawa Senators DFS SPIN

Cam Talbot (lower body) may not be ready to play coming out of the All-Star break, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports Monday. Talbot -- who is already expected to be out versus Montreal on Tuesday -- looks poised to miss out when the Senators return to action versus Edmonton on Feb. 11. With Talbot on the shelf, Anton Forsberg figures to see the bulk of the workload with Mads Sogaard currently up from the minors to serve as the No. 2 option.

Montreal Canadiens DFS SPIN

Jake Allen will patrol the home crease Tuesday versus Ottawa, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports. Allen is coming off a 38-save effort in last Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to Detroit. He has a 10-16-2 record this season with a 3.53 GAA and an .893 save percentage. Allen went 1-1-0 versus the Senators last year, allowing six goals on 61 shots. Ottawa sits 24th in the league this campaign with 2.96 goals per game.
