Elliott stopped 18 of 21 shots (.857 SV%) for his second-straight win as he beat the Montreal Canadiens in his previous start.

Pouliiot has two assists, three SOG and four PIMs through seven games this season but will be a healthy scratch Thursday as he is replaced by Radim Simek in the Sharks' lineup.
