Elliott makes 22 saves, helps Senators shut out Flyers, 2-0

Brian Elliott made 22 saves in his second NHL shutout and Nick Foligno and Jesse Winchester scored third-period goals to give the Ottawa Senators a 2-0 victory over the slumping Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night.

With 9:30 left, Foligno took a wrist shot from just above the circle and then put his rebound past diving goalie Brian Boucher.

Winchester sealed the victory with an empty-net goal in the final minute.

The Flyers were blanked for the third time in six games. They are 1-3 under new Coach Peter Laviolette, who replaced the fired John Stevens a week ago after Philadelphia’s two consecutive shutout losses.
