Goals and assists
Manchester Storm moved to within a point of the playoff places with
an important win over Glasgow Clan at Braehead Arena, taking the bonus
point in overtime with the teams locked at two each after 60 minutes.
Clan
took the lead 3:30 into the game after an early Noah Carroll minor for
hooking - Mitch Heard's shot towards the net being deflected over the
line off the hand of Chase Harrison. Storm then killed off a full
two-minute 5-on-3 early in the period, but grew into the game as the
teams went into the break at 1-0 Clan.
David Tendeck made an
excellent save, sliding across his crease to deny Liam Finlay a
back-post one-timer early in period two to keep Storm just one behind.
After Clan failed to get the puck out of their zone, Gianluca Estevez
patiently waited for the perfect moment to find Jake Durflinger across
Landon Bow's crease to slot home and level at 26:05.
Clan were
back into the lead 54 seconds into period three. After some good cycling
of the puck, Steven Seigo's shot form the point was deflected in front
of Tendeck by Ryan Schwartz.
The hosts then ran into some penalty
trouble and, down two players, conceded an equaliser - Alexis D'Aoust
the scoter with just over 15 minutes to play.
Both teams probably
deserved the point they got with the scores tied after 60 minutes. In
overtime, Clan had the better of the early possession but couldn't find a
breakthrough, while when Storm caught them on a change it was Ryan
Hughes who shot past Bow at 63:53 to win it for the visitors.
