Elliott made 32 saves in a 5-0 win over Detroit on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

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 Bolts are looking forward to the playoff opener next week in Toronto. If they are successful, Elliott could lift the Cup for the first time in his long career.

Per Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida, Elliott was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, putting him on track to guard the home goal versus the Red Wings on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Elliott has struggled over the past week, going 0-2-0 while posting an unsightly 6.06 GAA and .852 save percentage. He'll try to snap his personal three-game losing streak in a home matchup with a struggling Detroit team that's lost four straight contests.

Elliott made 33 saves in a 7-4 loss to the Senators on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Elliott was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida reports, indicating he will start in Ottawa on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Elliott has surrendered six goals in each of his past two outings, including a 7-2 loss to the Senators on March 23. He has posted a record of 11-7-2 this season with a 3.43 GAA and an .888 save percentage in 20 appearances. Ottawa ranks 19th in the league this campaign with 3.11 goals per game.

Elliott made 36 saves in a 6-1 loss to the Islanders on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Elliott will be between the road pipes versus the Islanders on Thursday, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the Lightning heading into their final back-to-back of the season, this could be the last start for Elliott this season. The veteran netminder is sporting an 11-6-2 record with a 3.30 GAA, .891 save percentage and one shutout in 19 appearances. Once the postseason kicks off, Andrei Vasilevskiy will be the preferred choice in the crease for coach Jon Cooper.

Elliott made 28 saves Thursday in a 7-2 loss to Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

The Sens were hot and the Bolts were not. And that was a recipe that delivered the visitors from Tampa Bay a stinging loss. Elliott wasn't to blame -- he got little to no support and the coach called out the team after the game. "It's all self-inflicted," said Lightning coach Jon Cooper. "Not sure when they are going to learn. There's a little bit of us feeling sorry for ourselves." Elliott remains a reasonable fantasy play if the Bolts can tighten things up.

Elliott is expected to start on the road against Ottawa on Thursday, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

Elliott has won his last two contests, saving 40 of 44 shots in that span. He has an 11-5-2 record, 3.15 GAA and .895 save percentage in 18 appearances this season. Ottawa has been struggling, losing five of its last six to drop to 34-32-5.

Elliott made 18 saves in a 5-3 win over Montreal on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Elliott was solid. Full stop. His team failed him with poor puck management in the second, and he was on the short side of a 3-2 score heading into the third. But the game was played almost entirely in the Habs' zone in the final frame and Elliott stopped what he needed to stop to retain the lead. It was his second straight win. Elliott will likely see play in back-to-backs, but little else unless the Bolts decide to give Andrei Vasilevskiy a rest.

Elliott will get the home crease versus Montreal on Saturday, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis
