Elliott, Blues dump Flyers

Oct 23, 2011 - 2:14 AM Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Brian Elliott made 16 of his 34 saves in the third period, backstopping the St. Louis Blues to a 4-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers at Wells Fargo Center.

Carlo Colaiacovo's late second-period goal proved to be the game-winner for the Blues, who handed the Flyers their second consecutive loss and third straight at home.

Ilya Bryzgalov stopped 21-of-25 shots for Philadelphia, which trimmed its deficit to 3-2 when Matt Carle netted a power-play goal with 6:46 remaining in the third.

But Matt D'Agostini scored with the man-advantage 66 seconds later to restore St. Louis' two-goal lead.

The Blues beat Bryzgalov twice in the first period.

Kent Huskins lit the lamp with a shot from the left point 1:48 into the contest, then T.J. Oshie made a drop pass to Colaiacovo and hammered home the return feed at 10:04.

Danny Briere put Philadelphia on the board 56 seconds into the second period, snapping a shot from the bottom of the right circle over Elliott's glove.

Colaiacovo picked up a loose puck in front of the net and slid it under Bryzgalov with 4:24 to go in the middle stanza.
