Ellis dished out a pair of power-play assists in Sunday's loss to the Ducks. That's back-to-back multi-point outings for Ellis, who now has four goals and 17 points in 38 games, to go with an impressive plus-11 rating. Averaging 19:46 of ice time and seeing decent power-play minutes, the 24-year-old could reach the 35-point barrier in 2014-15. As a top-six defenseman on a Nashville team sitting second in the Western Conference, Ellis makes for a good play in some deeper formats.
