What It Means:

Elliott has only played in two games this month, making one start. He has stopped 37-of-40 shots for a .925 save percentage and a 2.29 goals-against average in December. The Canucks come to town having lost four of their last five road games and are only scoring 2.38 goals per game in road contests this year.

Our models have Elliott as 14th out of the 24 goalie options Friday, with projections of 2.4 goals allowed, 24.7 saves and a 55.0 percent chance of winning.
