The 36-year-old goalie was 15-9-2 with a 3.06 goals-against average, .889 save percentage and two shutouts in 30 games (26 starts) with the Philadelphia Flyers last season.
Selected by the Ottawa Senators in the ninth round (No. 291) of the 2003 NHL Draft, Elliott is 256-155-49 with a 2.53 GAA, .910 save percentage and 42 shutouts in 502 regular-season games (457 starts) with the Flyers, Calgary Flames, St. Louis Blues, Colorado Avalanche and Senators. He is 17-26 with a 2.72 GAA, .904 save percentage and one shutout in 48 Stanley Cup Playoff games (45 starts).
Elliott, who spent the past four seasons with the Flyers, will back up Andrei Vasilevskiy, who has led the NHL in wins in each of the past four seasons, and won the Stanley Cup each of the past two seasons.
Pierre-Edouard Bellemare also signed a two-year, $2 million contract ($1 million average annual value) with the Lightning on Wednesday, and Zach Bogosian signed a three-year, $2.55 million contract ($850,000 AAV).
Bellemare, a 36-year-old forward, scored 11 points (nine goals, two assists) in 53 games for the Colorado Avalanche this season, and had three assists in 10 Stanley Cup Playoff games.
Signed as a free agent by the Philadelphia Flyers on June 11, 2014, Bellemare has scored 98 points (47 goals, 51 assists) in 507 regular-season games with the Flyers, Vegas Golden Knights and Avalanche, and 10 points (two goals, eight assists) in 56 postseason games.
Bogosian, a 31-year-old defenseman, had four assists in 45 regular-season games with the Toronto Maple Leafs last season, and one assist in seven playoff games. He won the Stanley Cup with the Lightning in 2020.
"I'm super excited," Bogosian said. "It was a pretty easy decision just to walk into a locker room you're familiar with and an organization you're familiar with. My day with the Cup was great, just to share it with family and friends. It was a long wait, but, yeah obviously it makes you think about the memories that you made with all the guys on that team. I'm not sure how much that played into my decision, but Tampa no matter what was always going to hold a special place in heart and my career, so to go back is super exciting."
Selected by the Atlanta Thrashers in the first round (No. 3) of the 2008 NHL Draft, Bogosian has scored 200 points (53 goals, 147 assists) in 689 regular-season games with the Maple Leafs, Lightning, Buffalo Sabres, Winnipeg Jets and Thrashers, and has five assists in 27 playoff games.
"There are a lot of things that make it a great place to play," Bogosian said. "You want to play on a good team and you want to have a chance at winning, and doing that with Tampa (in 2020) was such a great feeling. … Tampa being a great hockey town and them winning (the Stanley Cup) back-to-back creates a lot of buzz around the city and a lot of buzz around the hockey world."
The Lightning also signed Brayden Point to an
eight-year, $76 million contract extension
on Wednesday that begins next season. It has an average annual value of $9.5 million.
