The Philadelphia Flyers are expected to use their eighth goalie of the season and set an NHL record with Cam Talbot scheduled to start against the New Jersey Devils at Prudential Center on Friday.

Talbot, who was acquired in a trade with the Edmonton Oilers on Feb. 15, was the backup to Brian Elliott against the Columbus Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena on Thursday (7 p.m. ET; FS-O, NBCSP, NHL.TV), his third straight game in uniform after being scratched the previous three.

"It's the right opportunity," Flyers coach Scott Gordon said. "We don't want to go back to back with goalies, do as much as we can to prevent that. It's better for the two goalies so it's the perfect opportunity for [Talbot] to get in and play."
