Eliott has managed to win nearly every game (6-1-0) despite posting a not-so-great .895 SV% and 3.39 GAA. He draws another good start in the Columbus Blue Jackets, who lost their last game 3-0 and ranked 25th in the NHL in goals per game (2.86).

The Lightnings' backup has been getting wins when called upon this season, with his 5-1-0 record even while posting a fairly bad .886 SV% and 3.62 GAA. He draws the streaking Nashville Predators, who have won their last three games and four of their last five contests.

The #GoBolts have signed Brian Elliott to a one-year contract extension worth $900K.

In his first season with the Lightning, Elliott has gone 9-3-3 with a 2.23 GAA and .921 SV% in 16 games (14 starts). The 37-year-old has been terrific in a limited role behind Andrei Vasilevskiy and the Lightning need as many cheap options as they can find.
