Dan Ellis and Mike Smith were teammates in the American Hockey League, playing in both the Utah Grizzlies and the Iowa Stars. As Mike Heika describes the post-season events that led Ellis to leave the Dallas organization, you feel the personal level of play that sometimes is evident on the ice, "Ellis decided he had a better chance to earn an NHL job somewhere else... "
He is 9-1-1 in his last 11 games. So, there was lots on the line when the Predators went ahead with Ellis against Smith in a game Saturday in Nashville. The final winner, Mike Smith's Stars 6-3. More on the game HERE
