He came out of retirement for one game on March 3, 2013 as a backup goalie for the Florida Panthers.[2] Then, exactly two years later, on March 3, 2015, during a game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, both Panthers goaltenders (Roberto Luongo and Al Montoya) were injured during play. Montoya stayed in the game, and Tallas quickly went to the dressing room to dress as his emergency backup. He warmed up in the tunnel, but Luongo was able to re-dress and return to the game, sparing Tallas from action.[3] In both instances, Tallas had suited up, registered on the official team roster, and could have been called on the ice as a replacement but ended up not playing because the originally planned goaltender returned before a replacement was needed.

Tallas was also part of the coaching staff of Italy men's national ice hockey team during the 2019 IIHF World Championship.[4]
