Curtis McElhinney Fantasy Stats

Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Curtis McElhinney will get his 12th start of the season on Friday against Dallas. The Bolts are looking to save Andrei Vasilevskiy for the playoffs and go with a different goalie for a fourth straight game. McElhinney's last outing came on May 1 in a 1-0 shootout loss against Detroit. He's pulled off only four wins so far with a 2.91 goals-against average, a .879 save percentage and one shutout. The Lightning have won six of seven meetings with the Stars this season, so it seems like a favorable matchup for them, which could help McElhinney to boost his numbers.

Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Curtis McElhinney registered his first shutout of the season in Saturday's 1-0 shootout loss against Detroit. The veteran was very unlucky in the game as Tampa completely dominated but couldn't generate any goals against Thomas Greiss. McElhinney's record dropped to 4-5-2. He has posted a 2.91 goals-against average this season with a .879 save percentage. McElhinney hasn't been effective with his work between the pipes, but he plays on a top team which gives him a shot at victory every night he's out there. Andrei Vasilevskiy, who has never lost to Detroit in his career, is set to return to the crease on Sunday as the teams finish off a back-to-back set.

Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Curtis McElhinney will record his eighth start of the season in Tuesday's meeting with Columbus. The team has dropped a pair of games with Andrei Vasilevskiy between the pipes and they will try something different here. McElhinney has a poor 3.16 goals-against average and a .880 save percentage, but he has the luxury of playing on an elite team, so the career backup has still notched three wins this season. He's heavily favored to make it four on Tuesday as Tampa has dropped just two home games this season.

Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Curtis McElhinney will be between the pipes on Friday versus the Chicago Blackhawks. McElhinney will start in favor of Andrei Vasilevsky, who deserves a much-needed rest after winning five straight contests. The veteran netminder has played in just three games posting a 2-1-0 record and a 2.70 goals-against-average. For fantasy hockey purposes, McElhinney is irrelevant with only playing in three games and being a backup.

McElhinney had been a solid backup goalie throughout his career and he had an 8-7-3 record for Tampa last season with one shutout, a 2.89 goals-against average, and a .906 save percentage. Andrei Vasilevskiy is set to return to the Bolts' crease on Tuesday when the champions finish off a back-to-back set against the Predators.
