Calgary Flames goaltender Brian Elliott has been named the starter against the Vancouver Canucks on Friday night.
Elliott enters tonight looking for a sixth consecutive win, but remains a middling 8-9-1 on the season. His .894 save percentage and 2.90 goals against average are both his worst marks since the 2010-2011 season. The Canucks are 22nd in the NHL with 2.40 goals for per game.
numberFire's models rank Elliott as the sixth-best fantasy option among Friday's 12 starters. We project him for a 58.0 percent chance of scoring a win tonight with 24.3 saves on 26.4 shot attempts.
