Yeah, you're missing something.
TB vs SJ
Game 2: 3 goals on 23 shots, SV% .870
Game 3: Gets pulled after letting in 3 goals on 14 shots, SV% .769.
Game 4: Doesn't play
Game 5: Doesn't play
Game 6: Gets pulled again after 4 goals on 26 shots for a SV% of .846.
Combined stats for last 3 games:
10 goals against on 63 shots for a SV% of .841.
In other words, Elliott wasn't much better against the Sharks than he was against the Ducks. Only difference with 2015-16 and other years is that it took Elliott a little longer than usual to crash.
St. Louis probably would have lost to the Sharks anyway, which is why Elliotts meltdown wasn't much of a story, but doesn't mean he didn't have his usual meltdown.
