Elliott will start again on Tuesday in St. Louis.

Elliott was awful in his firs three starts with the Flames, but was excellent last night, stopping 31 of 33 shots and all seven shootout attempts in a win over the Blackhawks. Tonight, he makes a return to St. Louis, where he played the last five years. It is a rough matchup, especially starting on back-to-back nights, but hopefully Monday was a sign of things to come from the veteran goalie.

Vasilevskiy will start Saturday in Ottawa.

Vasilevskiy allowed two goals on 34 shots in the Lightning’s win over the Devils last Saturday. Ben Bishop started the last two games, but it will be Vasilevskiy tonight in Ottawa. He is one of the best backups in the NHL and has a powerful offence in front of him, making him a legit spot-start option whenever he gets the nod.
