The Philadelphia Flyers improved to 10-1-1 against teams that aren’t the Boston Bruins with a dominant performance against the Jack Eichel-less Buffalo Sabres on Saturday afternoon.
The 3-0 victory was Brian Elliott’s second shutout of the season, the first also coming in a 3-0 win against Buffalo.
Sean Couturier, Shayne Gostisbehere, and Scott Laughton scored for Philly, whose team shot total hit 39 for a second consecutive game. The Flyers have won the shot battle by a combined 78-50 over the last two games, showing that although Boston, the East’s elite team, may have their number, the orange and black are taking care of business against lesser competition.
And speaking of competition, do we have a GOALIE CONTROVERSY?
