It changed direction off of Elliott's teammate Roman Polak, but it was a damaging goal that St. Louis couldn't pull back. Elliott surrendered nine goals on 61 shots in the series' final three games, a less-than-desirable save percentage hovering around 87 percent as the Blues lost four straight games.","date":"Sat May 11"},"fullName":"Brian Elliott","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Elliott was probably the biggest surprise of the entire 2011-12 season, at least from the fantasy angle. Undrafted in most leagues, he finished as the league leader in GAA (1.56) and SV% (.940), also winding up as the No. 1 overall fantasy commodity on ESPN's Player Rater by season's end. The big question, of course, as the 2012-13 season approaches is whether Blues coach Ken Hitchcock will continue to run a timeshare with Elliott and Jaroslav Halak. Elliott didn't suffer a meltdown on the level of Marc-Andre Fleury in the playoffs, but he did come back to Earth, posting a 2.38 GAA and .904 SV% in eight games played, and generally looking less confident in the crease than he had in the regular season. If that leaves a bad taste in Hitchcock's mouth, Halak may be given an edge in their relative starting frequencies (and pushing Elliott's value down). For now, it appears that both men will have a shot, but their early work could have a bigger impact given the shorter season.
