In his first season with the Lightning, Elliott has gone 9-3-3 with a 2.23 GAA and .921 SV% in 16 games (14 starts). The 37-year-old has been terrific in a limited role behind Andrei Vasilevskiy and the Lightning need as many cheap options as they can find.
Atkinson left Tuesday's game in Washington after playing just 5:08 TOI and is considered doubtful to play Wednesday in Philadelphia. Oskar Lindholm will likely draw back into the lineup to replace him.
Moser has missed the last 12 games with an upper-body injury but is set to play Tuesday vs. the Devils. Moser will replace Vladislav Kolyachonok on the Coyotes' blueline and re-enters with 12 points (3G / 9A) in 33 games.
Sheary missed Friday's practice and will not play Saturday afternoon vs. the Penguins. Sheary is expected to be replaced by Garnet Hathaway on the top line.
The Capitals have a bit of a bug going around right now and Sheary is the latest player to deal with it. He was not on the ice for Friday's practice and is questionable to play Saturday afternoon in Pittsburgh. Garnet Hathaway returned from an illness on Friday to skate in Sheary's spot on the top line.
McDonagh will miss his sixth straight game on Monday but took part in the morning skate, which is a good sign that he'll be back at some point this week. Cal Foote will remain in the lineup until McDonagh is back.
Perbix was a sixth-round pick in 2017 and signed his entry-level contract with the Lightning following his fourth year at St. Cloud State. The 23-year-old defenseman had 31 points (6G / 25A) in 31 games with St. Cloud State and had one assist in four games with Team USA at the Olympics.
