Brian Elliott Gets 39 Saves In Win Over Canadiens
5 years agoPhiladelphia Flyers goaltender Brian Elliott collected his third straight win on Saturday, stopping 39 of 42 shots in a 4-3 overtime win at Montreal. It took the Habs only 19 seconds to get the first one past Elliott, but he recovered quickly from the early setback and produced a really good performance that included a 19-save effort in the second frame. Elliott was used just seven times in November, but he was solid every time he got the call, improving his record for the year to 7-2-2. He owns a 2.70 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage. Philly will be busy before Christmas, so Elliott should get his fair share of starts during the upcoming weeks.
