Elliott has won eight straight and has posted back-to-back shutouts, stopping all 55 shots that he faced vs. the Canadiens and Jets.

Ekblad was forced from Saturday’s game in Tampa Bay with a concussion and is expected to miss at least one week—which is four games for the Panthers this week. This is a tough loss for the Fantasy playoffs because Ekblad has four points (2G / 2A) and a ridiculous 51 shots in his last 11 games.
Ryan has been sidelined by a broken finger since February 18th, but the Senators are hopeful that he will return to the lineup this week. Monitor his status prior to their first game of the week on Tuesday.
