Brian Elliott

Flames green-light Brian Elliott on Monday

The Calgary Flames are starting Brian Elliott in goal Monday versus the Colorado Avalanche.

What It Means:

Elliott has been hot over the past five weeks, recording a 12-1-0 record with .937 save percentage, 1.89 goals-against average and two shutouts in his last 13 games played. He will look to keep the good times rolling as he faces the NHL's worst offense in the Avalanche, who score just 1.96 goals per game.

numberFire's models project Elliott for 2.0 goals allowed, 23.6 saves and a 70.0 percent chance of earning the win.
