Goals and assists
Glasgow Clan ended their three-game loss streak with a home victory over Dundee Stars in the Challenge Cup.
While
the Starts were already eliminated from the competition prior to Friday
night's game, Clan entered it hoping to increase their win percentage
in the hope of playing the Elimination Game at home. 3,404 fans saw the
come out on top at Braehead Arena.
Jarrett Fiske was the busier of
the two goalies in the opening period and pulled off several
point-blank stops to prevent the hosts from taking the lead. His team in
front of him repaid his service by taking the lead at 4:53 - Brett
Gravelle with the powerplay marker to put Clan ahead.
Clan were
their own worst enemies in period two with a succession of minors, but
came through the opening eight minutes still only a goal down.
The
home faithful would have to wait until the final period for a goal to
cheer, however then got two. There was a large element of fortune about
Clan's equaliser as Tyson McLellan's throw on net bounced off Ben
O'Connor's skate and over the line to tie the game at 41:15. Domenico
Alberga saw a breakaway chance saved by Lucas Brine as the Stars almost
re-took the lead, but failure to take their chances came back to cost
them late on.
With 2:45 to play, Cole Ully let a shot go from the
point which flew past Fiske and into the back of the Stars' net. Fiske
was pulled with 1:17 to play as the Stars searched for an equaliser with
the empty net, but without success and the Clan took the victory.
