There is no word on what Ellis is dealing with or how serious it is. The Hurricanes aren't practicing today so we likely won't hear anything until tomorrow.
Ellis has struggled in each of his two starts back from injury going 0-2-0 with a 5.68 GAA and .784 SV%. The Hurricanes are in big trouble after going 1-9-1 in their last 11 games and now sit 13th in the Eastern Conference, six points out of the playoffs. Ellis has a tough matchup vs. the new-look Rangers.
Ellis allowed three goals on seven shots before being pulled in his first start since coming off a leg injury. The Hurricanes will give him another chance tonight against the Lightning. Ellis is 0-1-0 with a 5.00 GAA and .872 SV% in his only start vs. Tampa Bay this season.
This will be Ellis' first start since getting hurt on March 21st. He has a fairly tough matchup vs. a Capitals team who have won four out of their last six.
This is a tough break for the Hurricanes who have already lost Cam Ward for the rest of the season. Justin Peters will become their starter in the meantime. He is 2-2-0 with a 2.75 GAA and .908 SV% this season.
Ellis has lost each of his last three starts with a 2.30 GAA and .933 SV%. He will face the New Jersey Devils and the returning Martin Brodeur tonight.
Ellis stopped 35 of the 36 shots that he faced yesterday in a shootout loss to the Rangers. He will start again tonight against the Florida Panthers where he will look to get in the win column for the first time since March 9th.
Ellis allowed three goals on 25 shots vs. Washington in his last start. He gets the nod tonight against a skilled Rangers team that is struggling to put it all together. It is not a great matchup for Ellis because the likes of Rick Nash and Marian Gaborik can score at any time. Be wary of Ellis tonight.
Ellis has yielded three of the last four starts to Justin Peters, but he did stop 31 of 34 shots in a 6-3 win over New Jersey in his last start. He will start tonight against the Capitals who Peters just had a 26-save shutout against on Tuesday. Ellis could be worth a look.
This will be Ellis' first start since Cam Ward got hurt after Justin Peters got the last two. Ellis has lost each of his last two outings posting a 4.61 GAA and .883 SV%. He has a decent matchup vs. Johan Hedberg and the Devils.
With Ward starting yesterday in the back-to-back Ellis appears likely to start on the road.
Ellis is 3-1-0 with a 1.74 GAA and .943 SV% this season. He has a tough matchup vs. a high scoring team in Tampa Bay.
With Cam Ward starting several games in a row including a back-to-back on Monday and Tuesday there is no real surprise that the Hurricanes will turn to Ellis tonight. Ellis is 2-1-0 with a 1.99 GAA and a .939 SV% so he has been good this season when called upon. He could make for a decent spot start against the Maple Leafs, mind you Toronto has won 4 consecutive and their last loss came vs. Carolina.
Ellis has 2 starts a 2 wins. He has a league best 0.75 GAA and .977 SV%, he could be worth a spot start tonight against Philadelphia who continues to be hit by the injury bug.
This will be Ellis' second start of the season. In his first game he made 40 saves on 41 shots and earned the win against the Lightning. The Hurricanes have a back-to-back today and tomorrow so Ellis was bound to get one start, looks like that is going to be tonight.
If Ellis is to get the start tonight this would be his second start of the season. In his first game he made 40 saves on 41 shots and earned the win against the Lightning. The Hurricanes have a back-to-back today and tomorrow so Ellis is going to get one start, looks like it could be tonight.
Ellis came into the first game of the year when Cam Ward was pulled and allowed 1 goal on 13 shots. He doesn't have any fantasy value as a backup goalie.
Ellis won't be fantasy relevant unless Cam Ward suffers an injury.
Ellis gets back into the lineup for the first time since getting hurt.
Don't expect Ellis to get back into the lineup even though the veteran will try.
