Goaltender Brian Elliott was a key reason the Ottawa Senators surged to the top of the Northeast Division prior to the Olympic break. It now seems he will also determine just how far they go the rest of the way. Elliott is expected to start Saturday night when the Senators host their provincial archrivals, the Toronto Maple Leafs, and try to avoid a third consecutive loss since the hiatus. Ottawa has dropped 4-1 decisions to the New York Rangers and Carolina since play resumed, and fallen one point behind Buffalo for the Northeast lead. While Elliott absorbed the defeat to the Rangers on Tuesday, he also backstopped the Senators to nine victories during their franchise-record 11-game winning streak from Jan. 14-Feb. 4 while Pascal Leclaire recovered from a fractured cheekbone.

Leclaire got his chance Thursday, but coach Cory Clouston gave him a quick hook after he allowed two goals to the Hurricanes in the first 6:23. Elliott stopped 14 of 15 shots in relief and appears to have secured the No. 1 spot for the stretch run. The 24-year-old Elliott, though, has shown little of the form that helped Ottawa surge into the playoff race when facing Toronto this season. He is 0-2-0 with a 4.28 goals-against average, and was pulled after two periods of a 5-0 road defeat Feb. 6 that ended Ottawa’s record run.
