St. Louis Blues goaltender Brian Elliott was named to the 2015 Honda NHL All-Star Game on Thursday, replacing Columbus Blue Jackets goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, who sustained a lower-body injury Wednesday against the Winnipeg Jets.


Elliott leads the NHL with a 1.86 goals-against average and is fourth with a .930 save percentage. He is 13-5-2 with three shutouts in 22 games this season.


Bobrovsky, who was scheduled to have an MRI on Friday according to the Columbus Dispatch, was one of three players named to represent host Columbus at the All-Star Game at Nationwide Arena. He is 6-15-2 with a 2.85 GAA and .913 save percentage in 33 games.

Bobrovsky sustained his injury making a save in the second period against the Jets and had to be helped off the ice.

Is that 3 or 4 replacement goalies for this years All-Star game? I've lost track. Goalies seem to be going down left and right this month. If you're an NHL Goalie and NOT playing in the All-Star game you really need to begin wondering what you can improve upon.


Honestly I think Holtby from the Capitals was a deserving contender for this replacement. Obviously the selectors didn't agree.
