  04/14/2023 • By RotoWire

  Elliott made 32 saves in a 5-0 win over Detroit on Thursday. It was the 38-year-old veteran's 45th career shutout and a fantastic way to finish what could be his last regular-season game. Elliott is in his 16th NHL season, with a 278-267-54 record overall. This season, he has registered a 12-8-2 record, but his 3.56 GAA and .886 save percentage are among the worst of his career. Father Time is approaching, but Elliott and the Lightning are looking forward to their playoff opener next week in Toronto.

  Elliott made 33 saves in a 7-4 loss to the Senators on Saturday. He allowed six goals. Elliott started with a wobble -- Drake Batherson scored 30 seconds into the game when he redirected a shot from Erik Brannstrom. He settled in, but the game see-sawed back and forth until Alex DeBrincat pushed the Sens up 4-3 in the last minute of the second frame. Elliott has now lost his last three games.

• Lightning's Brian Elliott: Team doesn't show up for goalie

  04/07/2023 • By RotoWire

  Elliott made 36 saves in a 6-1 loss to the Islanders on Thursday. Bolts' coach Jon Cooper didn't mince words after the game, talking about his team putting in its second straight embarrassing performance. Elliott tried to do his part, but it's hard to be the only guy on his team that shows up. The Bolts have just three games left this season -- Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday -- to get their game together. It remains to be seen if Andrei Vasilevskiy will get all three or if Elliott perhaps starts one.
