CALGARY, Alberta -- While Brian Elliott has newfound confidence in net for the Calgary Flames, the Ottawa Senators will be without their starting goaltender for the foreseeable future.After backstopping the Flames (3-4-1) to back-to-back road wins over the Chicago Blackhawks and St. Louis Blues on Monday and Tuesday, Elliott will attempt to keep his momentum going against the Senators (4-2-0) at the Scotiabank Saddledome on Friday.Elliott, who the Flames acquired from the Blues on June 24 in exchange for a second-round draft pick (35th overall) in 2018 and a conditional third-rounder, started his tenure with the Flames with three straight losses before bouncing back to stop 54 of 57 shots he faced during Calgarys two wins earlier this week.I dont think Ive felt bad the other ones too, said Elliott. I just think we kind of beat ourselves the first few games. Now were getting the picture of how we need to play each and every night. We played good road-style hockey and if we can bring that kind of hockey at home well be successful as well.Meanwhile, the Senators announced on Thursday that goalie Craig Anderson has taken a leave of absence and that theres no timetable for his return.With the support of the entire organization, weve provided Craig with a leave of absence so that he can attend to a personal matter at home, said Senators general manager Pierre Dorion in a statement. While we are uncertain of how long Craig may be away, he will continue to have our support for as much time as is needed. We will respect his privacy and will have no further comment at this time.Anderson improved his record this season to 4-1-0 after making 22 saves to backstop the Senators to a 3-0 road win over the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday. The 35-year-old veteran has also compiled a 2.95 goals against average to go with a .903 save percentage.In his absence, the Senators will go with the goaltending tandem of Andrew Hammond and Chris Driedger, who was called up from the AHLs Binghamton Senators.Hammond, 28, will get the start on Friday and is hoping to bounce back from his only previous appearance of the season, a 5-1 road loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Oct. 17 in which he stopped 20 of 25 shots he faced.After going 20-1-2 in his rookie campaign with the Sens in 2014-15, Hammond went 7-11-1 last season and even spent a stint in the AHL in Binghamton where he had no wins to go with two losses.In just 55 minutes of NHL action over the past two seasons, Driedger has made 21 saves without allowing a goal. The 22-year-old netminder, who starred for the WHLs Calgary Hitmen for three seasons from 2011-14, has never started or been the goaltender of record in an NHL game.While Elliott played a starring role against his former team on Tuesday in St. Louis, Flames right winger Alex Chiasson told CalgaryFlames.com that hes looking forward to going up against his old squad at the Saddledome on Friday.Its always a little special playing previous teams, said Chiasson, who Calgary acquired from Ottawa in exchange for defenseman Patrick Sieloff on June 27. I have a good amount of friends on that team, but when the game starts its a game day just like any other day. Thats part of pro hockey, really.After starting the season on Calgarys fourth line, Chiasson has been elevated to play alongside center Sean Monahan and left winger Johnny Gaudreau.I know that itd be nice to be on the scoresheet a little more, but at the same time its a process of trying to stay focused mentally on that, do the good things and the rest of the stuff is going to come, said Chiasson, who has just one goal to show for his efforts through eight games with the Flames. If I keep playing with those two guys, I think I can bring an element to that line that they dont have, and they can just play.

City lie nine points behind Leicester in fourth place - with a game in hand - ahead of their trip to Liverpool on Wednesday evening.With 36 points still to play for, Pellegrini is adamant all is not lost despite the medias title focus being trained primarily on Leicester, Tottenham and Arsenal. Pellegrini, who takes his side to Anfield just three days after their Capital One Cup success over Jurgen Klopps side at Wembley, said: It was a very long game in the final. Vincent Kompany and team-mates savour their Wembley success Both teams will have had the same rest, but it is easier when you have won. I dont know how Liverpool will react - it is a different competition. We will have a tough game, but we will try to win.For our team, the three points are important if we are to be involved in the title until the end. There are no favourites for the title with so many games still to play. Of course, it is easier for Leicester and Tottenham but we know what the Premier League is like. Highlights of Manchester Citys Capital One Cup victory over Liverpool at Wembley on Sunday City won 10 of their final 13 league games to claim the title in 2014 as pace-setting Liverpool faltered and the club can take heart from that victory charge, according to Pellegrini.dddddddddddde said: That season we always had three games in hand. We had to win them but it was important in that season. We only have one game in hand now and have to wait for other teams to slip up but I am sure we will have a final push. Sergio Aguero seals Citys title against QPR in May 2012 When you have the experience of winning the title, it is easier - you must always trust your experience. I remember when City won the title with Roberto Mancini in 2012, they were behind United with games to play.If we lose tomorrow and slip to nine points, the range of error is less. It will be a difficult game at Anfield. Also See: City win Cup on penalties De Bruyne targets March return Zabaleta hails hero Caballero City boosted for title run-in? ' ' '
