Goals and assists
A goal-fest at the Dundee Ice Arena saw the Stars beat Nottingham
Panthers 7-4. The win, on retro night in Dundee, moved the Stars back
into the playoff places.
Period one ended with the teams splitting
four goals. Brent Beaudoin opened the scoring with a fortunate touch of
his skate to then shoot past Rok Stojanovič with 11:33 played. 63
seconds later, Otto Nieminen tied the game with a tip on an Alexander
Lunsjo shot, and by 17:22 the Finn had put the Panthers into the lead.
Jake Elmer levelled things with 49 seconds left in the first as he
converted an Elijah Vilio feed into the slot.
Anthony Luciani gave
the visitors the lead back 13:33 into period two with a well-placed
finish in space in the slot, but they were only ahead until 34:49 when
Anthony Rinaldi skated from his own zone to beat Stojanovič high.
Nieminen completed his hat trick with two seconds left in the period,
this time tipping Didrik Hendrant's shot past Lucas Brine.
Kyle
Pouncy fed the puck into the crease for Josh Brittain to convert to
bring Dundee level again 3:41 into period three, before a pair of goals
in under a minute put them in charge. Ryan Valentini and James Phelan
netted 54 seconds apart to put the Stars 6-4 ahead with 13 minutes to
play.
Drydn Dow sealed the win for the Stars after the Panthers
gave the puck away in their own zone, and the Stars captain picked his
spot in Stojanovič's net to make it 7-4.
