Goals and assists
Coventry Blaze maintained their record as the only team unbeaten in
League action this season with a six-goal, shutout win over Glasgow
Clan.
The game was scoreless for well over 30 minutes at a
sold-out Braehead Arena, but was paused midway through the second period
due to a medical emergency in the crowd.
After things resumed,
the Blaze were quicker out of the blocks and took the lead. While Rob
Lachowicz sat for roughing, Kim Tallberg got onto a rebound from his
initial shot to put the Blaze ahead at 31:46. Grayson Constable turned
the puck over off Matt Stief on the Blaze blue line and raced away to
then feed Michael Regush for a bottle-popping finish to put the visitors
two ahead with 71 seconds left in the middle frame.
Regush then
turned provider for a Chase Gresock one-timer in the slot to make it 3-0
just 23 seconds into the third as the game quickly slipped away from
the Clan, while Alexander Kuqali snuck one through Lucas Brine's
five-hole at 43:44 to make it 4-0 shorthanded.
Brine got the
better of Alessio Luciani to deny the Blaze forward scoring a penalty
shot on the 44-minute mark, but the visitors did add a fifth just 1:2
later as Zach Heintz finished off a neat tic-tac-toe play on the
powerplay. After some late rough stuff which saw Mitchell Heard ejected
and Deven Sideroff called on an Instigator penalty, Luciani beat Brine
shorthanded to round off a comfortable win for the Blaze.
Mat Robson posted a 26-shot shutout, his first in the EIHL.
