Dan Ellis is a Canadian goalie on the Nashville Predators.

Ellis was drafted by Dallas in 2000. Ellis played three years of college hockey at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, where he won 53 games over the course of his career. In 2004, Ellis won his first NHL start over the Los Angeles Kings. Ellis wouldn't play in another game, until the 2007-08 season in Nashville. That season, he started 37 games, and won 23, while posting a 2.34 GAA. Behind his stellar play in net, the Predators turned their season around, and made the playoffs. Unfortunately, they were eliminated in six games in the first round by the Stanley Cup Champion Detroit Red Wings.
