Blues activate Elliott from IR
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Nashville, TN (SportsNetwork.com) - The St. Louis Blues have activated goaltender Brian Elliott off injured reserve.
Elliott had missed 14 games with a lower body injury he sustained during a Nov. 25 game against Ottawa. He will enter Tuesday's game against Nashville with a record of 8-4-1 and a 1.82 goals-against average.
The Blues now have three NHL-caliber goaltenders, with Jake Allen and Martin Brodeur also on the roster.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Brodeur signed with St. Louis in early December to help fill the void during Elliott's absence. The former New Jersey Devils star has appeared in six games and is 3-2-0 with a 2.63 GAA and one shutout for the Blues. He blanked Colorado on Monday for his 125th career shutout.
Blues general manager Doug Armstrong had indicated that the club would keep all three goaltenders until Elliott proves he is fully ready to resume a normal workload.
The Blues also placed forward Chris Porter on injured reserve because of a leg injury he sustained during Monday's game against Colorado.
