Another fiery encounter between the Steelers and Poprad saw the home side run out more comfortable winners than their 7-4 victory on Saturday night. Tanner Eberle and Brendan Connolly both hit goals in the opening period to put Aaron Fox’s team in control, but when the visitors hit back midway through the middle period things got a little more interesting. The Steelers however pulled away from their guests with two quick-fire goals at the beginning of the final period, before a late Petr Svitana effort brought Poprad back to within two. Michael Davies made the win safe a little over five minutes from the end, giving Fox a 100% record in his first weekend of Steelers pre-season games.
