Goals and assists
Guildford Flames made it five straight wins with a 3-1 victory over Belfast on Sunday night.
Ben
O'Connor opened the scoring for the hosts 12:07 into the game with a
blue-line wrist shot that appeared to be deflected in front of Tyler
Beskorowany. 24 seconds later, Peter Crinella beat the Giants' goalie
1-on-0 to double the Flames' lead. A furious Adam Keefe called his
timeout and made no secret of his feelings about his side's start to the
game.
Guildford should have added to their lead in period two,
but had to wait until 65 seconds from the end to score the all-important
next goal - Bryan Lemos the scorer after a nice cut in from the wing.
Miles
Gendron was ejected for a Cross-Checking major, following by Kohei Sato
taking a High-Sticking minor, forcing the Giants to kill off over two
minutes of 5-on-3 time. Matt McLeod added a consolaion for the visitors
with 1:40 remaining.
For Guildford it means four wins in a row, while Belfast have won just one of the last four fixtures.
