Flames will have Brian Elliott in goal as they look for first win of the playoffs

The Calgary Flames are starting Brian Elliott in goal Monday as they host the Anaheim Ducks in Game 3 of their first-round series.

What It Means:

Elliott hasn't been at his best this postseason, allowing six goals on 70 shots for a .914 save percentage and a 3.04 goals-against average (GAA). He owns a 2.25 GAA and a .922 save percentage at home, though, where Game 3 will be played on Monday.

numberFire's models project Elliott for 2.1 goals allowed, 24.4 saves and a 44.0 percent chance of earning the win.
