Brian Elliott could get used to playing against the San Jose Sharks.
The St. Louis Blues netminder was nearly perfect in his team's 2-1 victory in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final and in doing so extended his unbeaten streak against the Sharks in postseason play.

Elliott has been stellar for the Blues in their pursuit of their first Stanley Cup. The 31-year-old currently holds the sixth best goals-against average - of goalies with at least five games played this posteason - with a 2.20, and the fifth-best save percentage with a .932 mark.
