Edinburgh 7-3 Excel Hull Stingrays
The Excel Hull Stingrays conceed 6+ goals for the second time in three games and more importantly for the second consecutive game against the 8th placed Edinburgh Capitals in Scotland on Sunday night.
The Stingrays started off the stronger team as Jeff Glowa scored his thrid goal in two minutes of regulation play, after his two in the last minute of the Ray game on Saturday night against Cardiff, with a goal after just 33 seconds.
Glowa scored a second, after Stuart Kerr had opened his goal scoring account for the season (although the goal has since been changed to a Jeff Glowa goal, marking a hat trick), taking the score to 3-2 after just 26 minutes of play, however that is as close as the Rays came to victory. Five consecutive goals, including two from Martin Cingel who sealed his hat trick in the closing seconds, handed the Capitals the win and a three point weekend after a shootout loss over Basingstoke on Saturday night.
Further bad news for the Stingrays came in Coventry as Basingstoke recorded a 4-1 victory over the league leading Blaze team with just 12 outskaters. Their four point weekend, as well as Edinburghs three point weekend, leaves the Stingrays rock bottom of the Elite League with just 11 points, three from ninth placed Basingstoke and five points from eigth placed Edinburgh.
The Stingrays next games come in the form of an away double header against Manchester on Saturday night and Nottingham on Sunday night with points a must for the bottom placed Stingrays.
