Brian Elliott

Flames going with Brian Elliott for matchup with Flyers

Calgary Flames goalie Brian Elliott has been named the starter for Wednesday night against the Philadelphia Flyers.

What It Means:

Elliott has won three of his last four starts, and draws a Flyers team tonight that ranks only 22nd in the NHL in scoring this season (2.54 goals per game). He's 11-13-2 with a 2.85 goals-against average and .895 save percentage.

numberFire's models rank Elliott as the fifth-best fantasy option out of the eight starting goalies on Wednesday night. We project him for 2.3 goals allowed, 22.5 saves and a 62.0 percent chance of earning the win.
