Goals and assists
The first quarter-final to get underway as the Clan hosted the Steelers in Leg 1 action on a Friday night.
It
would only take five minutes for the Clan to take the lead at home.
Mitchell Heard would pounce on a bouncing puck at the Steelers blue line
and would find the five-hole of Greenfield to make it 1-0 Clan.
Both
the rest of the first period and the whole of the second period would
be scoreless thanks to a number of huge saves by both netminders.
But
it wouldn’t take long into the third for the Clan to double their lead.
Mitchell Heard would again find himself on the breakaway and he would
make no mistake. Post to back bar, which would be reviewed by the
officials, would be good enough to make it 2-0.
The Steelers would
respond through Ciampini with not long left. A turnover in the slot
would give Ciampini the room to step and pick his spot to make it 2-1.
But
with just under a minute left, the Clan would extend their lead into
leg 2. Heard with a spin pass to find the tape of Berry who would slip
it through the legs of Greenfield.
All to play for in leg 2, but it is the Clan with the 3-1 advantage.
