Elliott sets personal record with 10th straight win

Another day, another win for Brian Elliott.

The Calgary Flames netminder set a personal best in Friday's 3-1 victory over the Dallas Stars, notching his 10th straight win.

The veteran goaltender has experienced a resurgence after a slow start to his first season in Calgary. The Flames have rebounded in a big way in recent weeks, winning 13 of their past 15 to climb back into the playoff picture.

Calgary has been the hottest team since the start of February, putting together a 15-3-1 record for an NHL-best 31 points, with Elliott leading the way:

Time Frame Record GAA SV%
October - January 6-3-1 2.33 .904
February - March 13-1-1 1.87 .936

The Flames' next game comes Sunday against the Los Angeles Kings. Should Elliott get the game, and the win, he'd tie the franchise record for consecutive wins, which Mike Vernon set in 1988-89.
