Report: Flames, Elliott discussing contract extension

The Calgary Flames aren't wasting time in locking up goalie Brian Elliott.

Acquired from the St. Louis Blues in June, the Flames have already begun negotiations with Elliott over a contract extension, reports Andy Strickland of Fox Sports Midwest.

The 31-year-old is a pending unrestricted free agent, with a current salary cap hit of $2.5 million. He will make his debut with the Flames next month.

Elliott appeared in 41 games with the Blues last season, posting a 23-8-2 record, alongside a .930 save percentage and 2.07 goals-against average.
