EDMONTON, Alberta -- Cam Talbot had a big night in net for the Edmonton Oilers and hes planning on an even bigger morning.After allowing six goals on 23 shots in a disappointing 6-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday, Talbot stopped 31 shots on Tuesday night as the Oilers came away with a 3-2 victory over the winless Carolina Hurricanes. Talbot did that despite his wife being scheduled to give birth to twins early Wednesday morning.I knew I had a job to do tonight and that I would feel a lot better tomorrow morning going in there (the hospital) with two points, Talbot said. Personally, I needed a big bounce-back game after the last game I had.It was also big as a team, as we have let those kind of losses snowball in the past and tonight we showed we were more of a resilient group.Jordan Eberle of the Oilers said he was impressed with just how calm and collected Talbot was in the game, including some huge saves in the dying seconds, despite the upcoming additions to his family.I know Cam is very excited, it is a big day for him tomorrow, he said. A lot of the guys have been talking about it. For him to dial it in and play well and make some huge saves and keep us in that game with so much going on in his life, that was impressive.Tyler Pitlick, Anton Slepyshev and Eberle scored for the Oilers, who improved to 3-1-0.Lee Stempniak had two goals for the Hurricanes (0-1-2).We were right there, we had some chances, good chances throughout the game and just never really finished up with them, Stempniak said.Slepyshev unleashed a wicked wrist shot that beat Carolina goalie Cam Ward glove-side for his first career NHL goal 1:51 into the game.Edmonton made it 2-0 midway through the first as Eberles backhanded pass attempt bounced off Hurricanes defender Ron Hainsey and into the net for his third of the season.Pitlick added to the Oilers lead, picking the corner off a faceoff win in the Canes zone.Edmonton goalie Cam Talbot was sharp in making 20 saves through 40 minutes, including outright robbing Jeff Skinner in tight midway through the second period.Carolina finally got on the board three minutes into the third period as a big rebound from a shot by Victor Rask gave Stempniak an empty net to score into, and then made it 3-2 just 56 seconds later as Skinner fed it in front for Stempniaks third of the season.The Hurricanes had some strong pressure late, but Talbot made several big stops and Edmonton was able to hang on for the win.We had too many easy goals against, too many easy chances against, we have to tighten up, Carolina coach Bill Peters said. Usually when were on top of our game and playing to our foundation were a little tighter than that.Game notes Both teams made changes to their lineups for the game, as Carolina D Jakub Nakladal and LW Phillip Di Giuseppe played their first games of the season, while RW Martin Frk made his NHL debut. Edmonton inserted LW Slepyshev and D Mark Fayne, who later left the game with an injury, into the lineup, and called up Laurent Brossoit to serve as backup goalie after Jonas Gustavsson suffered an injury in Sundays 6-2 loss to Buffalo.UP NEXT:Hurricanes: plays the fourth of a six-game trip to start the season in Calgary.Oilers: remain home to welcome the St. Louis Blues.St. Louis Blues Darren ODay Jersey .
