Erik Condra had his first two goals in the NHL and Chris Phillips scored in what could be his final game with Ottawa as the Senators downed the Philadelphia Flyers 4-1 on Saturday night.

Nick Foligno had the other goal for the Senators and Ryan Shannon picked up two assists.

Craig Anderson made 30 saves for his third win in four starts since the Senators acquired him from the Colorado Avalanche last week.

The win was the third in four games for the Senators (21-32-9), while the Flyers (40-16-6) have dropped two of three.

Scott Hartnell had the only goal for Philadelphia, which got 26 saves from Brian Boucher.

Phillips scored his first of the season to give Ottawa a 3-1 lead at 11:15 of the third. The veteran defenceman has been the subject of trade rumours and could be dealt by Monday's deadline.

Following a first period in which they trailed 1-0 and were thoroughly dominated by the Flyers, the Senators turned the tables over the final 40 minutes, outshooting Philadelphia 27-15.

Foligno outworked two Flyers in the corner on a power play before putting a shot over Boucher's shoulder at 12:18 of the second.

Condra scored his first in the NHL at 16:10 on a great feed from Shannon off a cycle behind the Philadelphia net.

Phillips scored on a shot from the point at 11:15 of the third period to provide some insurance for the Senators before Condra closed out the scoring with a deflection on the power play at 18:35.

Hartnell gave the Flyers a 1-0 lead with just 20 seconds remaining in the first period.
