Brian Elliott’s shutout performance lifts Flyers to victory

After being handed their first loss of the season in convincing fashion the night before, the Flyers looked to invoke revenge in the second night of their back-to-back with the Buffalo Sabres. Brian Elliott would come through, with a 40-save shutout in his first start of the season.

1st period

After a pretty good start by the Flyers, Robert Hagg took an interference minor that temporarily halted momentum. Just a minute into the kill, Michael Raffl would go for high-sticking — not ideal!

But thanks to some all-around great work, especially by Ivan Provorov, the Flyers would kill off both minors.
