Brian Elliott signed a one-year, $900,000 contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning on Wednesday.
The 36-year-old goalie was 15-9-2 with a 3.06 goals-against average, .889 save percentage and two shutouts in 30 games (26 starts) with the Philadelphia Flyers last season.
Selected by the Ottawa Senators in the ninth round (No. 291) of the 2003 NHL Draft, Elliott is 256-155-49 with a 2.53 GAA, .910 save percentage and 42 shutouts in 502 regular-season games (457 starts) with the Flyers, Calgary Flames, St. Louis Blues, Colorado Avalanche and Senators. He is 17-26 with a 2.72 GAA, .904 save percentage and one shutout in 48 Stanley Cup Playoff games (45 starts).
Elliott, who spent the past four seasons with the Flyers, will back up Andrei Vasilevskiy, who has led the NHL in wins in each of the past four seasons, and won the Stanley Cup each of the past two seasons.
