Rookie Carter Hart, the seventh goalie to play this season when he made his NHL debut Dec. 18, leads Flyers goalies with 22 games. He is out with an ankle injury sustained at the morning skate prior to a 5-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Feb. 21.
Thursday will be Elliott's fifth straight game and third straight start. He's second on the Flyers with 18 games but missed three months with a lower-body injury sustained Nov. 15. Since returning to the lineup, he is 2-0-0 with a 2.21 GAA and .940 save percentage in four games.
Anthony Stolarz, who was traded to the Oilers for Talbot, played 12 games. Calvin Pickard, who was claimed on waivers from the Toronto Maple Leafs on Oct. 2 after Michal Neuvirth sustained a lower-body injury during training camp, played 11 games before he was waived and claimed by the Arizona Coyotes on Nov. 29.
Neuvirth has played seven games but has been out since Jan. 3 with a lower-body injury. Alex Lyon played two games, and Mike McKenna, who was claimed on waivers from the Vancouver Canucks on Jan. 4, played one game. Lyon and McKenna are with Lehigh Valley of the American Hockey League.
