EIHL Round up 10th/11th October

Drew Fisher scored two goals in the penalty shootout, including the sudden-death winner, as Coventry Blaze won 2-1 on-the-road at Belfast Giants.

There was also a shootout in Altrincham as Manchester Storm edged Edinburgh Capitals after the game had ended 2-2.

Netminder, Zane Kalemba, stopped all three of Edinburgh's efforts while Luke Salazar was on target for the hosts.

It was tight in Kirkcaldy also but Fife Flyers lost at home for only the second time this season, as Gui Doucet scored his eighth goal of the season in Cardiff Devils' 3-1 win in Scotland.

There was a league and cup double-up in Scotland as Alex Leavitt scored twice in Braehead Clan's 6-4 victory over Dundee Stars. 

And in Challenge Cup Group B, Nottingham Panthers scored inside 68 seconds but Sheffield Steelers took the game and raced to the top of the standings, with Mathieu Roy scoring the game-winning goal on a five-on-three powerplay. 

It was a night of goals, goals and more goals in the EIHL on Sunday night as 47 were scored across the five matches.

One of the most remarkable EIHL matches of all time came at the Skydome as Belfast Giants skated to a victory in an 18 goal thriller. Mike Radja netted a hat-trick for Belfast, while Ashley Tait scored twice for the Blaze.

Edinburgh Capitals made amends for their penalty-shot defeat on Saturday night by turning the tables and beating newcomers Manchester Storm in a tight game.

Ryan Hayes and Taylor Dickin both netted doubles. 

There was a brace for Andy Bohmbach as Nottingham Panthers beat Fife Flyers in Nottingham and Joey Martin's hat-trick helped Cardiff Devils to a comfortable victory over Sheffield Steelers at the Big Blue Tent in Cardiff to break the visitors’ eight game winning streak.

And it needed penalty shots in Dundee after Dundee Stars and Braehead Clan were level at 3-3. Lou Dickenson scored in sudden death to decide the game for the Stars.
