Dundee Stars made it a four-point weekend with an important win over
Scottish rivals Glasgow Clan, who are also chasing a playoff place.
2,220 fans saw it happen.
There were five goals in the opening
period at the Dundee Ice Arena, with the hosts racing into a commanding
lead. James Phelan opened the scoring just 97 seconds in when he was
left all alone in front of Kevin Lindskoug. That lead became two thanks
to an excellent Jake Elmer shot that hit the roof of the net without
most of the rink noticing at 10:51, while just under two minutes later
Spencer Naas made it three – bringing a premature end to Lindskoug’s
night. Naas struck again at 16:29, finishing an excellent Dryndn Dow
reverse pass from behind the net, while Michael Pelech pulled one back
for Clan 37 seconds later.
Clan tried for the entirety of period
two to find a way back into the game, but after not getting past Carr
they then saw Ryan Valentini put one behind Antti Karjalainen with 27
seconds left in the period to make it 5-1.
Two quick goals at the
start of period three turned the complexion of the game. Philippe Sanche
netted in front at 41:54 before Gary Haden cut the deficit back to two
goals at 44:49, prompting Marc LeFebvre to call his time-out to steady
his Stars team. That turned out to prove a real difference, with the
Stars beginning to find their feet in the game again. Just under ten
minutes after conceding that third goal, Carter Johnson put the Stars
6-3 up. Anthony Rinaldi added a seventh off a rebound with 3:39 to play
to settle things in favour of the home side.
