Goals and assists
Coventry Blaze came from two goals down in Braehead before eventually
winning the game in a shootout on Saturday evening - but not before Mat
Robson stopped a Mitchell heard penalty shot in the final seconds of
overtime!
Liam Finlay’s goal was the only thing separating the
teams after the opening period at Braehead Arena, where the Clan outshot
their visitors 16 to 7. Finlay cut in from the wing and used the
passing option to deceive Mat Robson, beating him high at 13:38 on the
powerplay.
A four-goal second period saw Clan cruising but then back to
where they started when the buzzer finally sounded. Matt Berry scored
twice in under three minutes to put Clan three up by 28:19, and
seemingly in control. Brandon Alderson finished a passing play to get
the blaze on the board 58 seconds later, before Chase Gresock then made
it a 3-2 game at 36:36.
The Blaze pushed for the equaliser for the majority of period
three, and then pulled Robson with 1:33 to play. Exactly ten seconds
later, captain Kim Tallberg crashed a shot past Landon Bow to tie the
game.
Both teams took a point with the game tied after 60 minutes.
In overtime, Heard's tripping minor gave the Blaze the best chance to
win but their powerplay couldn't find a winner. With the clock running
out on the bonus period, a thrown stick led to Heard being awarded a
penalty shot as he was on a breakaway when it happened - but he fumbled
his attempt.
Mike Regush, Terrance Amorosa and Kim Tallberg all
scored in the shootout, while Heard being the only scorer for Clan saw
the visitors take the extra point.
