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.
