Dan Ellis stands tall in home win over Buds
Dan Ellis - G - Carolina Hurricanes
Feb. 14, 2013 - 9:45 PM ET

Dan Ellis turned away 22 of 23 shots en route to a 3-1 victory over Toronto on Thursday night.

The backup netminder has a sparkling 3-1-0 record to go with strong peripherals in four starts this year, an indication that the Hurricanes can afford to give Cam Ward a rest once in a while without thinking they're giving the game away. He's a good handcuff to Ward in deeper leagues.
