Goals and assists
Nottingham Panthers moved to within three points of a playoff place
with an overtime win in an 11-goal thriller on Rave Night at Braehead
Arena. Glasgow Clan, despite losing, still picked up three points from
the weekend.
As a prelude to what was to follow, the opening
period saw goals scored 19 seconds apart to end all square. Stephen
Anderson wrapped-around on Antti Karjalainen to make it 1-0 with 15:24
played, only for Mike Pelech to level with a neat shot from the circle.
Cue a six-goal period two.
Simon
Despres was left alone at the back post to put the Panthers back ahead
at 27:43, but a bottle-popper from Charlie Combs tied things up under
three minutes later. Alex Forbes then poked home a Jordan Cownie feed
for Clan to lead at 32:13, but some 90 seconds later Hugo Roy made no
mistake on Didrik Henbrandt's pass across the slot. The pair combined
again to score the Panthers' fourth of the night with 58 seconds left in
the second, cancelling out Luke Lynch's go-ahead goal for the Clan 62
seconds earlier.
Anthony Luciani tipped Jake Ryczek's shot past
Karjalainen 96 seconds into period three as the Panthers then held a
lead for just over ten minutes until Gary Haden beat Rok Stojanovič
short side to tie the game with 8:23 remaining in regulation.
Both
teams took the point with the game heading into overtime, and the
3-on-3 was no less entertaining. After chances at both ends, the
Panthers broke 2-on-1 where Ryczek opted to shoot and won the visitors
the extra point.
