Brian Elliott is ready to return to the St. Louis Blues' crease.
The goaltender will be activated off injured reserve to start Saturday's game against the Vancouver Canucks.
Elliott has been on the shelf since leaving a loss to the San Jose Sharks on Feb. 22 with what the team called a lower-body injury.
Jake Allen assumed the starter's role in Elliott's absence, but Allen has allowed 13 goals over his last three games.
The Blues have lost two straight, allowing 17 goals as a team over their last three.
Elliott, who is 17-7-6 with a 2.14 GAA and a .929 save percentage in 34 contests, won five consecutive games before suffering the injury last month.
