I think Johnson is in tomorrow for the back to back. That said, I didn't have a problem with anything in Eliiott's game outside of his two big errors. I didn't see him fighting the puck at all. Yes, the puck hits him in the chest and then he covers - he is a blocking goalie. That's how he plays the net. He was square to the puck all night. There were no big rebounds - everything stops at his feet. He held his ground on close in chances, especially ion the first. Smith was far more shaky on outside shots IMO.
