    Dan Ellis got his first shutout of the season and his first with the Tampa Bay Lightning.

    Ellis stopped 23 shots and recorded his 11th career shutout as the Lightning beat the Phoenix Coyotes 3-0 on Saturday night.

    Ellis, who signed as a free agent after three seasons with Nashville, was helped by a defense that limited the Coyotes to few scoring chances.

    "We frustrated their zone entry and that was the key to the win," Ellis said. "Our defense pushed play to the outside and I was able to see shots. We have a great system, executed it to a T, and that equaled success."

    Ellis' last shutout was on Jan. 15, when he blanked the Flames in Calgary for Nashville.
