It wasn't Brian Elliott's night on Wednesday, as the Philadelphia Flyers goaltender lasted less than 28 minutes into Game 4 against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

He surrendered three goals on just 17 shots.

Michal Neuvirth came into the game in relief of Elliott, marking only his second appearance since mid-February.

Netminder Petr Mrazek, whom the Flyers acquired from the Detroit Red Wings at this year's trade deadline, was made a healthy scratch Wednesday.
