Colten Ellis News: Tending twine versus Montreal

Ellis will protect the home goal versus the Canadiens on Thursday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

Ellis will make his third start in the last five games, which suggests he's worked his way into a timeshare with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen. The 25-year-old Ellis has allowed five goals on 63 shots while going 1-1-0 in his last two outings. The Canadiens have 22 goals over their last six games, going 4-1-1 in that span.
