Bottom line is they have to score more than one goal.

Elliott has simply had such a rough go that he's had the fanbase turn on him, so they have the knives out for the first opportunity to stick him.
It's the most complicated and technical position in all of hockey, and I think it's hard for some fans to wrap their minds around that intricacy. If a shot goes in, no matter what, it's just the goaltender's fault. If it's a clear shot, it's definitely the goalie's fault. There's a reason players are considered skilled and talented, and it's because they can snipe those areas of the net and beat elite tenders.
Sorry to rant.
