Elliott will start Tuesday in Washington.

Elliott allowed two goals on 23 shots in the Flyers loss to the Bruins last Friday. Elliott has played extremely well in the first month of the 2021 season, leading to more playing time for the veteran. After having his three-game winning streak snapped, Elliott enters play at 3-1-0 with a 2.19 GAA and .929 SV% though four starts and one relief appearance.

Vasilevskiy allowed one goal on 16 shots in the Lightning's win over the Red Wings on Wednesday. It was an easy night for Vasilevskiy, who has now won three in a row while stopping 67 of 73 shots (.918 SV%). He should be able to make it four in a row tonight with another matchup vs. a Red Wings team that is 30th in the league in goal-scoring (1.91 GF/gm).

Vasilevskiy starts Thursday in Carolina.

Vasilevskiy gave up four goals on 27 shots in the Lightning's loss in Columbus last Saturday. The Lightning have been off ever since, so Vasilevskiy will be well-rested vs. a Hurricanes team that hasn't played since January 18th. Through four starts, Vasilevskiy has a sparkling .920 SV% to go along with a 2.24 GAA, so he should be active whenever he gets the nod.

Elliott will start Tuesday in New Jersey.

Elliott stopped all 40 shots that he faced in the Flyers' shutout win over the Sabres last Tuesday. Carter Hart started the last two games but was lit up Saturday in Boston, so they'll go with the veteran in the first game of a two-game set in New Jersey. Elliott has stopped 53 of the 55 shots (.964 SV%) that he's faced so far this season.
