Goals and assists
Glasgow Clan took their second home victory over Belfast Giants this
season, and first in the league, with a 5-2 home victory on Friday night
at Braehead Arena.
It was an ideal start for the home side who
ran in three goals in the opening period. With virtually his side's
first shot of the game, Steven Seigo cut in from the point and fired
high into Tom McCollum's net from the top of the circle with 4:52
played. A little under eight minutes later, Rylan Schwartz was left all
alone at the top of the crease to beat McCollum and make it 2-0. At
17:47, Deven Sideroff backhanded through McCollum's five-hole in front
to put Clan three ahead.
When Alex Forbes made it 4-0 8:30 into
period two, Giants head coach Adam Keefe called a time-out and was
visibly unsatisfied with his team.
Whatever he said had the
desired effect - Jordan Kawaguchi tipped Josh Roach's shot past Landon
Bow at 31:58, while Ciaran Long then won a foot-race with Reece Kelly
and beat Bow five-hole at 36:15 to cut the deficit back down to two.
Heading
into the final two minutes and probably thinking about pulling
McCollum, Keefe could only watch on as Sideroff fed Mitchell Heard for
the Clan's fifth with 95 seconds to play, settling the game.
