Elliott beats former team as Flyers snap 10-game skid with win over Flames
CALGARY — Brian Elliott’s return to Scotiabank Saddledome went much better than when he last played there during the playoffs.
Elliott made 43 saves as the Philadelphia Flyers snapped a 10-game losing skid with a 5-2 win over the Calgary Flames on Monday night.
The goaltender lasted just 5:38 during Game 4 of Calgary’s opening round playoff series with Anaheim last spring before being pulled. Anaheim went on to win 3-1 to sweep the series and Elliott departed in the summer as a free agent.
“Whenever you’re coming to a city you lived in for a year and played and enjoyed yourself, you really look at it as an opportunity to show your stuff again one last time,” said Elliott.
