Goals and assists
It was not a night for the faint-hearted at Braehead Arena as Fife
Flyers beat Glasgow Clan after overtime by the odd goal in 13.
The
sold-out crowd at Braehead Arena hardly had time to catch their breath
in the opening 20 minutes which saw the teams split six goals as they
ended tied at three each.
Clan raced into an early two-goal
advantage inside five minutes thanks to Robert Lachowicz and Gary Haden,
while Colin Shirley pulled one back for the Flyers at 9:43. Philippe
Sanche put the Clan back two ahead at 12:47, but two goals in just over
as many minutes brought the Flyers level - defensemen Jonas Emmerdahl
and Aleksi Makela tying things up.
Six goals in the opening period
were followed by another three in the second. Again Clan went into the
lead, this time through Luke Lynch at 26:39, only for Johan Eriksson to
tie things up at 30:19.
Gary Haden's goal at 31:58 ensured Clan
would be ahead at the break, but just 18 seconds into period three some
wonderful dangles form Kyle Osterberg had things tied up once more.
Matt
Barry looked to have given Clan the win with 3:15 to play, but Troy
Lajeunesse levelled less than a minute later. Both sides deservedly took
a point with the game going into overtime.
2:27 into bonus
hockey, a Flyers passing-play saw Eriksson left free to the side of
Antti Karjalainen's net, and his shot from the side of the net squirmed
back out in front for Lucas Chiodo to slot home and win it for Fife.
