NHL: Ottawa 4, Chicago 1

OTTAWA, Jan. 19 (UPI) -- Brian Elliott stood up to a 30-shot attack from Chicago Tuesday and led the Ottawa Senators to a 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Elliott limited the Hawks to a shorthanded breakaway goal by Marian Hossa but was otherwise perfect in leading Ottawa to its fourth consecutive victory -- and first win against Chicago since 2003.
