Elliott will start Thursday against the Blackhawks.

Elliott stopped 32 of 34 shots in the Flyers’ loss in Chicago on November 1st. Michal Neuvirth started the last two games but is believed to be dealing with an illness, so Elliott gets another crack at the Blackhawks tonight. The veteran netminder is 2-1-1 with a 3.21 GAA and.877 SV% on home ice this season.

Vasilevsiy will start Tuesday in San Jose.

Vasilevskiy gave up four goals on 34 shots in the Lightning’s win over the Blue Jackets on Saturday. Vasilevskiy has won 11 of his first 13 starts to kick-off 2017-18 while posting a 2.52 GAA and .924 SV%. He has given up a lot of goals, but the Lightning lead the NHL in goals for, so expect him to continue to rack up the wins.

Lagace will start Tuesday in Montreal.

Lagace stopped 22 of 23 shots in the Golden Knights’ shootout loss in Toronto last night. With seemingly every other goalie injured, Vegas doesn’t really have any other choice but to go back to Lagace tonight. He has allowed 18 goals on 129 shots (.860 SV%) in five games.

Lagace allowed four goals on 28 shots in the Golden Knights’ win in Ottawa on Saturday. Lagace has allowed a combined 15 goals on 104 shots (.856 SV%) in three starts and one relief appearance since becoming the Vegas No.1. Tonight he takes on a Maple Leafs team that has struggled as of late and could be without Auston Matthews (game-time decision).

Vasilevskiy leads the Lightning onto the ice for warmups.

Vasilevskiy allowed two goals on 35 shots in the Lightning’s overtime loss to the Rangers on Thursday.

Lagace leads the Golden Knights onto the ice for warmups.

Lagace allowed two goals on 28 shots in the Golden Knights’ loss in Boston on Thursday. It was a much better performance than his first two appearances this season, but still wasn’t enough to get the ‘W’. This afternoon he faces a Senators team that has lost five of their last eight (3-2-3).

Lagace will start Thursday in Boston.

Lagace gave up five goals on 37 shots in the Golden Knights loss to the Rangers on Tuesday. Lagace looked good through two periods, but New York turned it on in the third and there wasn’t much the 24-year-old netminder could do. With all the other netminders on the Vegas roster out, the crease is Lagace’s for the foreseeable future.

Vasilevskiy will start Thursday vs. the Rangers.

Vasilevskiy surrendered five goals on 23 shots but still walked away with the win in Florida on Monday. Vasilevskiy has had better nights, but playing behind the Lightning’s 4.08 goals for per game will give him a chance to win more often than not. He comes into Thursday with a 6-0-0 record, 2.32 GAA and .927 SV% on home ice this season.

Atkinson (lower-body) did not practice Wednesday; will not play Thursday in Florida.

Atkinson will miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury that he suffered last Saturday and it’s unclear whether he will join the team on their three-game road trip or not. Tyler Motte will remain in the lineup with Atkinson sidelined.

Cam Atkinson
Elliott will start Wednesday in Chicago.

Elliott allowed four goals on 34 shots in the Flyers overtime loss to the Coyotes on Monday. Despite the loss, Elliott will start again tonight in Chicago. The 32-year-old has gone 3-1-0 with a 3.25 GAA and .891 SV% in four starts on the road this season. The Blackhawks used to be a tough matchup, but not so much in the first month of 2017-18.

Lagace will start Tuesday in New York.

Lagace entered Monday’s game in Brooklyn after Oscar Dansk suffered a lower-body injury and struggled, allowing four goals on 11 shots. With Dansk hurt, Gerard Gallant said “next man up” so Lagace is expected to go head-to-head with Henrik Lundqvist in his first career start. The Rangers come in at 3-7-2 while averaging 2.83 goals for per game.
