Lightning's Brian Elliott: Between pipes Saturday

Elliott will tend the twine for Saturday's road clash with the Red Wings, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

Elliott will make just his fifth appearance for the Lightning since the calendar turned to 2022. In his previous four outings, the veteran netminder went 3-1-0 with a 2.01 GAA. Starter Andrei Vasilevskiy figures to continue seeing a heavy workload heading into the final weeks of the season with Elliott likely limited to starts in back-to-backs.
