Goals and assists
Nottingham Panthers won their first road game since returning to
competitive fixtures with a 4-2 victory over Cardiff Devils at a sold
out Vindico Arena in Wales.
Alexander Lunsjo opened the scoring
just over seven minutes in, and then doubled the visitors' lead at 11:56
to put them in control.
4:44 into period two, Joey Martin
converted a Westin Michaud Slashing minor to bring the Devils back to
within one, but two goals in under as many minutes firmly turned the
game in favour of the Panthers.
Ben Bowns denied Hugo Roy's shot
on the rush, but his pad save fell straight on the stick of Otto
Nieminen who fired home the loose puck to make it 3-1 at 34:46. Under
two minutes later, Didrik Henbrandt then put the Panthers 4-1 ahead.
Rok
Stojanovič stopped 44 shots including 16 of 17 he faced in the final
period as the Devils searched for a way back into the game. Riley Brandy
grabbed a late consolation with nine seconds remaining as the Panthers
took a 4-2 win.
