Brian Elliott was on a short leash Wednesday.

The Calgary Flames netminder was yanked just 5:38 into the opening period of Game 4 after Anaheim Ducks forward Patrick Eaves scored an iffy goal.

Chad Johnson came in to relieve Elliott, only to allow a goal just 1:08 later.

Anaheim leads the opening-round series 3-0, and will try for the sweep.
