Brian Elliott faced an unfamiliar opponent during a recent charity event – J.J. Watt of the Houston Texans. Watt skated in to take a shootout attempt and unloaded a blistering slapper which beat Elliott. Of course, Elliott was diving out of the way of the blast, but this was a rare occasion where two players from different sports met face to face.

Elliott later complemented Watt on his shot.
