It took a while to get comfortable in the new crease in Calgary but Brian Elliott is now settled into his new place for the Flames. On Thursday night, Elliot made 24 saves in a 
5-0 win over the Montreal Canadiens.
Johnny Gaudreau scored a goal and ended his night with four points in the win.
“We’re playing well,” Gaudreau said. “It’s fun to come to the rink when you’re winning games. Keep that happy atmosphere around the rink and go from there.”
Calgary also got goals from Michael Stone, Sean Monahan, Mark Giordano, and Micheal Ferland.
Calgary improved to 37-26-4 and are 13-2-1 in their 15 games.
For Elliot, it was his first shutout of the season.
“It’s just fun to be on this ride right now with the guys,” Elliott said. “Personally, you want to stay playing well and feeling good seeing the puck. When the guys are playing like they are in front of you, you just stop a couple and they do the rest.”

“Their game was at its best and you can see why they’re on a pretty good roll right now,” Habs head coach Claude Julien said. “It’s unfortunate. We were looking for a good matchup of two teams that had been playing well, but we came out real flat here tonight.”
