Goals and assists
Glasgow Clan blew a two-goal lead in the final 17 minutes of their
Elite League game on Friday night at Braehead Arena, going down 5-4 to
league leaders Cardiff Devils.
Cole Ully opened the scoring at
16:37 with a wrist shot that may have deflected off Mark Richardson to
go high and beat Mac Carruth and put Clan ahead. In a period of plenty
of chances at both ends, Mitchell Heard doubled with the side's
advantage with 29 seconds remaining - skating into the slot in space and
firing past Carruth.
Cody Donaghey shot through traffic to bring
the Devils back to within one at 29:39, but the home side hit back 27
seconds later when Rylan Schwartz tipped Joe Hazeldine's shot past
Carruth at 30:06.
Cardiff turned the game around in under two third-period minutes.
Brett
Perlini palled one back at 43:51, followed by Tlyer Busch tying the
game 58 seconds later. By 45:29, the Devils broke 2-on-1 where Cole
Sanford took the shot and beat Landon Bow five-hole to put the visitors
into their first lead of the night.
As the Devils ran into late
penalty trouble, Kohen Olichefski was stand-out for the visiting winning
faceoffs and coming up with a huge block as Clan pressed. Clan tied the
game with a fortunate play while on the powerplay. Schwartz's throw on
net deflected of Richardson and trickled over the goal line with Carruth
missing the puck as he tried to swipe it away.
After running into
penalty trouble themselves, the Devils then went on a 5-on-3 advantage
as Sideroff and Heard were called for separate minors at 55:25. Josh
MacDonald fired home 50 seconds later to put the Devils back ahead.
With
just over 90 seconds to go, Olischefski cleared a rolling puck off the
goal line to ensure the Devils would take two points from Glasgow.
