Elliott is listed as week-to-week but now we know he will miss at least 14 days which means he will likely miss at least the next seven games. Jake Allen is expected to get the bulk of if not all of the starts while Elliott is out. Martin Brodeur started practicing with the Blues today and could be signed to back-up Allen.
Blues’ head coach Ken Hitchcock said that this is an injury than Elliott has had before and has recovered quickly from, but for now he is labeled as week-to-week. This puts the ball fully in Jake Allen’s court. At some point you had to figure one of them was going to go down and now Allen becomes a full-fledged NHL starter. If he is available in your league, scoop him up immediately.
