How good has Brian Elliott been for his age?

Anyone watching the Flyers this season has probably been singing the praises of Brian Elliott at one point or another. The current holder of the NHL’s “most likely to be mistaken for a high school gym teacher” award has been stellar in relief of Carter Hart this year, posting a sparkling triple slash of 2.37 GAA, .922 SV% and one shutout in five starts. Only a few seasons removed from a year when Dave Hakstol rode the Moose into the ground, it’s pretty remarkable to see this kind of standout performance, especially at his age. To find out how particularly good Elliott’s been by the numbers, I did a little digging.
