Flames' Brian Elliott: Preparing for Canadian rivalry game

Elliott will patrol the crease on the road Saturday, fielding shots from the Canucks, Derek Willis of Sportsnet 960 The FAN reports.

Analysis:

Naturally, Flames coach Glen Gulutzan is a big believer in riding the hot hand, so it's no wonder that he's turning to Elliott, as he's won four of his past five starts. His next draw comes against a Canucks team averaging a measly 2.39 goals per game at home -- only the Devils and Avalanche score less in their own barn.
