Brian Elliott Earns Win In Relief On Thursday
6 years agoPhiladelphia Flyers goaltender Brian Elliott stopped all 16 shots he faced in a relief appearance on Thursday, leading his team to a 5-4 overtime defeat of the Arizona Coyotes. In his second year in Philadelphia, the 33-year-old hasn't exactly gotten off to a great start (2.93 goals-against average, .899 save percentage) so the victory could do wonders for his confidence moving forward. With that said, Elliott is probably better left untouched in free agency in most fantasy formats until he can display some more consistency in net on a night basis. However, with a struggling Blackhawks team visiting on Saturday, Elliott could be considered a decent streaming option as he looks to build off Thursday's strong performance.
