Elliott allowed three goals on 24 shots in the Blues 3-2 OT loss to the Red Wings on Thursday. After winning three in a row, Elliott has dropped each of his last two games while allowing six goals on 34 shots (.824 SV%). Tonight he will take on a Maple Leafs team who have lost six of seven while being outscored 25-11.
Hedman left last night’s loss to the Flyers with a lower-body injury and did not return. Coach Jon Cooper said after the game that “there’s a good chance” that Hedman does not play tonight against the Bruins. The Lightning likely won’t have a morning skate, so we won’t know Hedman’s status until closer to game-time.
Elliott was yanked after giving up three goals on 10 shots on Saturday. Jake Allen came in and led the Blues to a win, which earned him Tuesday’s start. Elliott will return to the crease tonight vs. the visiting Red Wings. While he has yet to face Detroit this season, Elliott comes into tonight with a 3-0-0 record, 2.19 GAA and .911 SV% in January.
Elliott allowed two goals on 26 shots in the Blues 7-2 win over the Sharks on Thursday. He extended his winning streak to three games, while posting a 1.34 GAA and .942 SV% in the process.

Elliott stopped all 23 shots that he faced in the Blues blowout 6-0 win over the Coyotes on Tuesday. Since returning from his knee injury, he is 2-1-0 with a 1.69 GAA and .944 SV%. The 29-year-old will face the Sharks for the second time in under a week—he made 18 saves in a 7-2 win on Saturday.
Elliott allowed two goals on 20 shots in the Blues win over the Sharks on Saturday. After making 44 saves in his first game back, he was less busy on Saturday. He draws a great matchup tonight in Arizona—despite posting a 2.22 GAA and .918 SV% on the road, he is just 4-3-1.
Martin Brodeur started last night, so Elliott will get the nod tonight in San Jose. He allowed three goals on 47 shots in a loss to the Predators in his return from a knee injury on Tuesday. He has been great this year going 8-5-1 with a 1.90 GAA and .931 SV%, but draws a rough road matchup tonight.

Vasilevskiy only had to make 10 saves in the Lightning’s 5-1 win over the Sabres last night. The Lightning wanted to get him another NHL game with Ben Bishop a little banged up, but the Sabres only registering 11 shots wasn’t much of a test for the young net minder.
Vasilevskiy gave up three goals on 29 shots in the Lightning’s win over the Penguins last Tuesday. He was 2-1-0 with a 2.01 GAA and .940 SV% during his recall. He has been called-up to get another NHL start with Ben Bishop a little banged up. Vasilevskiy makes for a great spot-start in Buffalo tonight.
Elliott has not started a game since November 25th vs. the Senators. He stopped all 16 shots that night before leaving the game with a knee injury. Elliott has been great this season, he is 8-4-1 with an 1.82 GAA and .931 SV% in 14 starts. Tonight he will face a Predators team who should be low on gas because they are coming off of a 5-4 shootout loss to the Blackhawks last night.
Elliott has been out since November 25th with a sprained knee. He was already expected to start tonight vs. the Predators, but now that he has been activated from IR it seems like a near certainty.
There is no word on any injury to Ben Bishop or Evgeni Nabokov at this time, but Vasilevskiy will join the Lightning in Buffalo for Wednesday’s game. Vasilevskiy was excellent in his time with the Lightning while Ben Bishop was injured—he went 2-1-0 with a 2.01 GAA and .940 SV%.
Elliott has been sidelined with a knee sprain since November 28th. With Elliott set to return, the Blues will likely part ways with Martin Brodeur, because they will not put Jake Allen on waivers.
With Ben Bishop sidelined with a lower-body injury, Vasilevskiy started three of four games, going 2-1-0 with a 2.01 GAA and .940 SV%. His return to the AHL suggests that Bishop will return to the crease on Saturday vs. the Hurricanes.
Vasilevskiy stopped 45 of 47 shots in a 3-1 loss to the Islanders on Saturday. Since his recall he has turned aside 68 of 71 shots (.958 SV%). As good as he has been, he doesn’t draw the best spot-start matchup tonight, but you can take a risk because the Penguins are really banged up.

Ben Bishop is doubtful to start tonight, so look for Vasilevsky to get the call vs. Pittsburgh. He stopped 45 of 47 shots in a 3-1 loss to the Islanders on Saturday.

As good as he has been, he doesn’t draw the best spot-start matchup tonight, but you can take a risk because the Penguins are really banged up.
Vasilevskiy stopped 23 of 24 shots in the Lightning’s 3-1 win over the Flyers on Tuesday. It was an excellent debut for the 2012 first-round pick, who will make his second career start tonight on Long Island. Ben Bishop is not expected to be out long-term, so Vasilevskiy’s run with the Lightning will be short-lived, but he could make for an OK spot-start tonight.
