Elliott yanked after allowing 1 goal

Sergei Belski-USA TODAY Sports

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.

The Ducks finished off a first-round sweep of the Flames with a 3-1 win.
