Goals and assists
Dundee Stars kept their slim playoff hopes alive with an excellent
road victory in Nottingham, beating the Panthers XXX on Wednesday night.
In
a game the Stars had to win, Johan Eriksson gave Jeff Mason's team the
lead with a rebound attempt that got caught in Alex Dubeau's pads and
trickled over the goal line. The hosts hit the crossbar before finding
themselves two down as Eriksson reacted quickest to a rebound off a Ben
Sokway shot to jam the puck over the line at 12:37. Tanner Sorenson
finished a neat tic-tac-toe play with a powerplay goal at 19:12 to get
the hosts back to within one.
Hugo Reinhardt raced through 1-on-0
and converted his own rebound to extended the visitors' lead to 3-1 4:14
into the second period, with the Stats getting excellent goaltending
from Brython Preece to ensure they stayed ahead. The Panthers hit the
frame of the goal again as they looked to get back into the game, but
with the seconds ticking down in the period Sokway worked hardest on a
loose puck and poked it home to give Dundee at 4-1 lead at 39:28
With
7:48 remaining in the final period, a beautiful saucer pass from
Reinhardt set up Philippe Sanche for a pack-post tap-in on an odd-man
rush to give the Stars a four-goal cushion. Preece made 40 saves on the
way to a man of the match performance.
