| Stars beat Guildford Flames 4-3, after the English outfit fought back from being 4-1 down. However, the Taysiders managed to hold onto the much-needed victory.
Man of the Match was Jason Shmyr, who received a game misconduct for his part in a melee at the end.
Scorers for Stars were Cristiano Borgatello, Scott Barnes and Patric Lochi (2).
Home coach Roger Hunt, while pleased with the win, wasn’t too happy with the way his men almost let Flames back into the game. He said, “It was a good win, but I’m disappointed with how we did it. We did get the two points, however, so I don’t want to dwell on it too much.
“Edinburgh won last night, too, so it’s getting tricky, but the main thing is that we got the win.
“I was happy with our performance in the second period, but, in the third period, we thought it was over and fell asleep, which we can’t do in future.”
Stars’ next outing is a Caledonia Cup game against Fife Flyers on Thursday at Dundee Ice Arena (face-off 7.30 pm) and coach Hunt is looking to build on last night’s win.
He added, “It gives us some momentum for Thursday’s game. It’s a Caledonia Cup game and we’re currently top of that, which is where we’d like to stay.” |
