Brian Elliott B. Elliott

Brian Elliott on netminder duties Friday night for Flames

Calgary Flames goalie Brian Elliott will start against the New Jersey Devils on Friday night.

What It Means:

Elliott has stopped 53-of-56 shots during a two-game winning streak, bringing his record 10-12-2 on the year. He's mostly struggled this season, evidenced by a .896 save percentage and 2.80 goals-against average that are both on pace to be the second-worst marks of his career. Despite that, Elliott has a decent chance to keep the good times rolling tonight versus a Devils team that has the third-worst offense in the league (2.24 goals per game).

Elliott is our sixth-ranked fantasy option among Friday's eight starting goalies. We project him for 23.6 saves, 2.5 goals against and a 40.0 percent chance of scoring a win.
