Elliott stopped all 40 shots that he faced in the Flyers' shutout win over the Sabres last Tuesday. Carter Hart started the last two games but was lit up Saturday in Boston, so they'll go with the veteran in the first game of a two-game set in New Jersey. Elliott has stopped 53 of the 55 shots (.964 SV%) that he's faced so far this season.
Elliott was set to become an unrestricted free agent on October 9th but gets another one-year deal from the Flyers that retains him as Carter Hart's backup for at least another season. Elliott's cap-hit goes from $2.0M AAV to $1.5M AAV, leaving Philadelphia with roughly $4.8M in cap space (per PuckPedia). That's plenty to re-sign their only RFA Philippe Myers but doesn't leave them with much to spend to upgrade their roster in free agency.
Elliott gave up three goals on 31 shots in the Flyers win in Columbus on February 20th. Carter Hart has started seven of the last eight games but Elliott starts the front-end of their back-to-back tonight in Washington. Elliott is 11-5-2 with a 3.10 GAA and .894 SV% on the road this season.
