| Captain Jason Shmyr and forward Scott Barnes were both sidelined due to one-game suspensions as the Taysiders went down 3-1 after the visitors grabbed two late goals.
Indeed, had it not been for Nottingham netminder Curtis Cruickshank, Stars might have taken something from the game.
As it was, all the home side had to show for their efforts was a Gary Wishart goal.
Coach Roger Hunt said, “We played very well and were beaten by a very good team. It was encouraging that we had the depth to cover the absence of Jason and Scott.”
Moving on to the weekend, Hunt said that he had confidence in his team and that the players themselves were confident.
Stars travel to play Guildford Flames in the league tomorrow and Basingstoke Bison in the National Cup at Dundee Ice Arena on Sunday (face-off 6.30 pm).
Hunt said, “It’s a big weekend, one of those all-important four-pointers and, at the end of the weekend, we could either be sitting four points behind Guildford, or level with them, which is where we’d rather be.” |
