The St. Louis Blues will have a third representative at the 2015 NHL All-Star Game with Brian Elliott having been tabbed to replace injured Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky.
Elliot has been limited to just 22 appearances this season, having missed a few weeks of action to a lower-body injury, but leads the league in goals-against average and owns a sparkling 13-5-2 record.
He joins teammates Vladimir Tarasenko and Kevin Shattenkirk.
Elliott receives the nod over Michael Hutchinson, Braden Holtby and Henrik Lundqvist, who are each having praiseworthy seasons in their own right.
He is just the third goaltender in Blues history to appear in multiple All-Star Games. He earned his first selection in 2012.
