Remember when Brian Elliott couldn't win a game? Times have changed.
The Calgary Flames goaltender added another victory to his 2016-17 resume Sunday night, a 5-2 decision over the Los Angeles Kings. Elliott also tied a Flames franchise record set by Mike Vernon almost 30 years ago by winning his 11th straight game.
Elliott made 19 saves Sunday and is a huge reason why Calgary improved to 13-1-1 over its last 15 games.
After recording only three wins through November (all came in October), he's making up for lost time. Elliott is 16-4-2 with a .925 save percentage since Jan. 1, and is an obscene 7-0 in March with a dazzling .952 save percentage.
With the Flames in Washington on Tuesday, Elliott's now got work to do in order to claim the club record for himself. Right now, though, betting against Calgary - and Elliott - is a fool's errand, regardless of the opposition.
