Elliott, Senators look to continue run against Flyers

Feb 12, 2009 - 11:25 AM Ottawa (19-25-8) at Philadelphia (28-15-9), 7:00 p.m. EST

PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- Rookie goaltender Brian Elliott and the Ottawa Senators look to extend their two-game winning streak when they visit the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday.

Ottawa started a five-game, seven-day road trip with a 3-1 win over Buffalo on Wednesday, when Elliott made a career-high 31 saves to win back-to-back starts for the first time since his first two NHL appearances on January 13-14.

Captain Daniel Alfredsson scored a power-play goal and set up another, Jason Spezza netted a man-advantage goal and Shean Donovan tallied in his return to the lineup for the Senators, who recorded a 3-2 shootout win over the Sabres at home on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Ottawa also improved to 2-1-1 under new coach Cory Clouston, who took over for the fired Craig Hartsburg on February 1.

The 23-year-old Elliott is 6-3-2 with a 2.34 goals-against average in 12 starts this season.

Philadelphia has also won two in a row, including a 3-2 victory over the Atlanta Thrashers on Sunday.

The Flyers snapped a two-game skid with a 4-3 overtime triumph over the Boston Bruins on Saturday. They had not won two straight since notching a five-game run from December 6-16.
