Following his USHL season, Ellis then spent three years at the [[University of Nebraska at Omaha]] before signing after the
===Dallas Stars===
The [[Dallas Stars]] drafted Ellis in the 2nd round, 60th overall, of the [[2000 NHL Entry Draft]]. For the 2003–2004 season, Ellis split time between the [[Utah Grizzlies]] and [[Idaho Steelheads]] of the [[ECHL]], finishing the season with the Steelheads. In Idaho, Ellis

On October 25, 2007, in only his second career start, his first with the Predators—who signed him as a [[free agent]] on July 5, 2007—he won 3–0 against the [[Atlanta Thrashers]], making 20 saves en route to his first NHL shutout. On November 1, 2007, he posted another shutout against the [[Vancouver Canucks]] for his fourth win of the season. He played very well down the stretch, posting two shutouts in the final few games and leading the Predators to the playoffs. As a result, he was named as the NHL's Second Star of the Week for the week ending March 30, [[2007–08 NHL season|2008]]
Ellis posted impressive statistics during the 2007–2008 season, being among the top goaltenders in save percentage (1st), shutouts (T-3rd), and [[goals against average|GAA]] (12th).

Ellis stopped 71 of 78 shots he faced in the first two games, both losses. Back home at Nashville for games three and four, he proceeded to stop 62 of 67 shots as the Predators won both games at home to tie the series at 2. Game 5 was Ellis' best game of the series as he made 52 saves in a 2–1 overtime loss. The Red Wings closed out the series in Game 6 at Nashville with a 3–0 win. Ellis was victimized by Red Wings defenceman [[Nicklas Lidström]]'s skipping shot from behind center ice for the game's first goal, which turned out to be the winner.
On June 19, 2008, Ellis was re-signed to a two-year, $3.5 million contract by the Predators. During the [[2008–09 NHL season|2008–09 season]], Ellis wasn't as sharp as the previous season, recording only 11 wins compared to his 23 wins of the previous season. Because of this, Rinne, who was Nashville's backup goaltender at the start of the season, took over the starting job. Ellis recorded 15 wins in 31 appearances during the [[2009–10 NHL
